While Jim Ryan was emailing for the FTC lawsuit against Microsoft, David Cuddy, Microsoft’s general manager of public affairs, found the right words to respond to this small attack on the exclusivity of call of Duty on Xbox. In the said email, Jim Ryan explains that with this acquisition, it’s not an issue of exclusivity as to which PlayStation gene is, it’s actually something else.
This is not an exclusive game at all. They think bigger than that and have the means to do it. I’ve spent a lot of time on it [Phil] Spencer and Bobby [Kotick] and I’m pretty sure Call of Duty will stay on PlayStation for many years to come.

To which Microsoft’s general manager of public affairs responded:
Sony today showed that it has known for a long time that we will keep our promise to keep games on its platform and made it clear that its lobbying against the deal is only to protect its dominance.
