We are in a time when the relationship between sony and xbox It is not going through its best moment due to the possible purchase of Activision Blizzard. The FTC has proposed to block the agreement, the United Kingdom doubts its viability and both companies are locked in a cross-statement about the exclusivity of Call of Duty.
In the midst of this situation, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has spoken on the podcast Second Request. The creative explains that the Japanese company wants to maintain a “dominant” position in the market, but that the method to achieve this is to make “Xbox smaller.”
“Sony has a very different view of the industry than we do. They don’t release their games on PC on launch day, they don’t put their games on your subscription when they release new titles.”
The origin of these statements is Activision Blizzard’s own FPS and Sony’s fear that the franchise is exclusive. Spencer recalls that “the largest console manufacturer in the world is opposed with a franchise that We have already said that we will continue to publish on the platform. It’s a deal that benefits consumers with choice and access.”
Officially, Microsoft has offered 10 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation and has revealed that the proposal to transfer the saga to Nintendo also exists. The company has recently confirmed that exclusive Xbox games will rise in price, although they will continue to appear at launch on Game Pass.
