Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread (Part 1)

Just hit me, but Microsoft may have esports on lock by having COD, OW, Halo, Hearthstone, and I think Heroes of the Storm is still big. I would’ve added startcraft 2 but I don’t think its that big anymore

I have said before that MS will have to have something as leverage on Sony to accept GP on Playstation. CoD could be it. I don’t know why some are in denial that this is probably what MS want. “Platforms where Game Pass exists” wasn’t said like that for nothing.

sony might not allow it since they will have their own version coming and likely will be copying microsoft’s strategy

Also, I think many are forgetting there’s a supply shortage for both consoles especially for the PS5. I think this can easily shift to people stop scouring for a PS5 and get a Xbox series console since it will ensure they’ll get COD games. I think many forget that COD is the highest earning console game, and if the message is sent early that Microsoft owns COD. Then we’ll see a bunch jump onto xbox for COD since I felt many of the xbox 360 cod players left for Playstation last gen

Here’s the proposition to Sony: allow Game Pass on Playstation or forget about CoD on Playstation.

If COD goes exclusively Xbox… all the Twitch etc streamers are going Xbox… guess where their followers are going too?

COD exclusive will bring millions to Xbox alone…

fair enough but i will believe it when i see it

if Sony allowed GP then i expect Bethesda and Activation games on the service but what about XGS games(under matt booty lead studios) ?

They won’t allow it. GP on PS consoles will be basically submitting defeat.

yeah bend the knee type of move lol

Hahaha oh man. Not a new video though, right? I haven’t seen a new one by him yet. I’m actually anxiously awaiting a video where he covers AB meltdowns.

Console warring is not my thing, but it’s a guilty pleasure I guess of mine to see these silly fanboys melting like ice cubes.

It would definitely be interesting to see the reactions if this happened. Microsoft can claim they’re winning because more people will be playing their games. Sony can still claim they’re winning because what’s the point of buying an Xbox if all of their games are on Playstation? At that point Microsoft has basically voluntarily chosen to be a third-party developer, which is what the PS fanboys have been saying will happen for 20 years now.

yep was a new video griffin did a live reaction last night a channel archives the streams thats how i seen it so much copimum

If this were ever to happen…can we just have PS Game Pass on Xbox so that we can play their exclusives, when their exclusives eventually come to their GP too?

Yeah I know, it doesn’t work like that.

Also, Game Pass native to PS5, how would that work? Do developers need to put in extra work for that then?

Like I said in the acquisitions thread.

  1. Game Pass on PS is a lifeline I wouldn’t throw to Sony
  2. It would be a public admission by Sony that they need xbox to survive

I don’t see Sony being willing to accept it regardless. When they do, it will be too late to matter.
