Depends. There is normally always a section where both parties agree on costs if either one decides to break it before the end of it.
I just can’t see where Microsoft would be happy with their second biggest IP once the deal goes through is advertised on TV and you see a frigging PS5 advertised lol. At least beyond this year because I think the deal will close this year.
Nah man, my uncle works at Sony, he told me the government is not only going to stop this acquisition, but as punishment Microsoft has to make Halo Infinite 2 a PS5 exclusive.
They should be. By the end of this generation, the momentum that Xbox is going to have will be 10,000x what it was compared to the end of the 360 generation.
Valid concern because third party games like cod drive console sales and revenue . Sony would be screwed in lost revenue from that market that isn’t shy spending on microtransactions . Also many preach how powerful exclusives are but feel that’s more icing on the cake because many buy consoles for cod, sports games, and f2p . Also when Microsoft closes the gap they lose power in making 3rd party timed exclusive and even marketing deals
I can’t really feel sorry for a company who actively brought this upon itself. Sony’s problem was that it thought that it can reign as king forever. I’m of the opinion that MS was Sony’s Sword of Damocles and that’s why the tried their hardest to get rid of them. I think we’re all of the opinion Sony will survive this but the question we should be asking is: Will Sony stay at the no. 1 spot?
This is Sony’s true Achilles heal. So many of their exclusives were based on the idea that they were market leader. The smoke and mirrors game that PlayStation was playing has been exposed.
Correct. They also blocked a release on subscription services like Game Pass for one year and add a parity clause. The PS5 has to be the best platform to play, no other platform can show better results. (Which is hilarious if you think about PC)
EDIT: forgot to mention that some people called it fake, but idk.
Make call of duty exclusive on xbox and pc will help Microsoft restore the American market and some European markets and this will help increase the number of consoles significantly
This effect will make it difficult for Sony to make temporary exclusives games in the future , And 3rd party companies will rethink many times , because the number of xbox users will be huge and it will make it difficult for them to ignore
Besides, if Microsoft really wanted to put a semi-long release period between each Call of Duty game, it would make it not worth releasing the game on PS
Microsoft can do wonders with this game in the future , They can put this game with xbox series s bundle for 249 $ with with game pass subscription and It will sell crazy
