Call of Duty and PlayStation: the Xbox offer was "inadequate"
– Reviews News
The saga of call of Duty is living through some really tumultuous months, especially under the agreement between Acivision Blizzard and Xbox.
The franchise, with which he will return very soon modern warfare 2 (which you can already pre-order on Amazon at the best price), had a very deep relationship with Playstation from a marketing perspective over the years.
Following the agreement between Xbox and Activision, which for several months has been in the crosshairs of all global regulatory bodies, the saga of COD he has always lived in uncertainty.
If then the mark of call of Duty is looking for some ransom, now news is coming in on the details of the 'rant' between PlayStation and Xbox regarding exclusiveness.
As reported by GamesIndustryaccording to Jim Ryan – CEO of PlayStation – Microsoft promised to keep call of Duty on PlayStation for three years beyond the current agreement between Activision and Sony.
In a statement provided to the newspaper, Ryan says the offer was indeed “Insufficient on several levels”. The disagreement between the two companies follows Microsoft's offer to buy the publisher of CODin a deal worth nearly $69 billion.
The deal is currently under review by competition regulators, with the UK (The Competition and Markets Authority) expressing concerns that Microsoft “Retain or Degrade” Activision Blizzard Content from Other Consoles or Subscription Services.
Last week, Xbox revealed that it had "Provided Sony with a signed agreement to insure Call of Duty on PlayStation, with equal functionality and content, for at least more years« in addition to the existing contract between Sony and Activision. Xbox said that this offer “This goes far beyond typical agreements in the video game industry”.
It is believed that the current agreement between Sony and Activision Blizzard on COD covers the next three franchise releases, including modern warfare 2 expected this year. However, Sony claims that the offer does not take into account the impact on PlayStation players.
"I wasn't going to comment on what I understood to be a private business discussion, but I feel the need to set the record straight because Phil Spencer took the matter to a public forum" said Ryan.
It is always, “Microsoft has proposed that Call of Duty will only remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends. After nearly 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposition fell short on many levels and did not consider the impact on our players. We want to ensure that PlayStation players continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft's proposal undermines that principle." .
The Xbox boss recently gave a very interesting speech on the theme of exclusiveswith a very particular opinion.
