Microsoft says 10 years is plenty of time for Sony to make its own Call of Duty:

available on PlayStation 5 and future Sony consoles is plenty of time and wouldn’t leave the hardware manufacturer on a “cliff edge” once it expires. Why not? Because Sony can use that time to make its own version of the best-selling military shooter.

Microsoft considers that a period of 10 years is sufficient for Sony, as a leading publisher and console platform, to develop alternatives to. […] The 10-year term will extend into the next console generation. […] Moreover, the practical effect of the remedy will go beyond the 10-year period, since games downloaded in the final year of the remedy can continue to be played for the lifetime of that console .

Playstation has MAG! c'mon sony!

That’s ironic, coming from a company that is buying studios since they cannot make good exclusive IPs

Erm Sony has its own Call of Duty. Killzone is a pretty fun and good shooter series. Its time for a comeback. This would also bring much more variety into Sonys first party AAA-lineup which currently consists mostly of third person action adventures.

Because Microsoft did that...oh wait they had to buy it.

replygpt

But it’s still not Call of Duty. Nice way oh them to say it will be exclusive after 10 years.

It is like saying Netflix has plenty of time to make its own Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad

Microsoft hasn't been able made a competitor in 20 which is why they stopped trying and now want to buy the successful IP instead of doing what they are telling Sony to do 😂 they need to focus on releasing their own games on time without bugs before anything

This is true

No it's not.. it's not that they can't make a good cod style game. It's more about the brand name and the insane marketing push they will need to do after making that game

Wonder what the reaction would be if sony was buying a studio like Rockstar and telling xbox to make their own gta....

I mean they did literally buy bungie…

remember kids, monopolies suck ass for the consumers. no matter what platform you prefer, the fans of the other are still your peers. it's gamers against shitty gaming companies, not gamers against gamers.

Xbox has halo, an already praised franchise and they can't seem to keep a playerbase for it

They have a few options. They have Resistance, Killzone and Socom. Please bring those back.

Well they’ve got bungee to do it

Then why doesn't Microsoft develop its own COD? Stupid Talk 👎🏼 XboxP3

What has Microsoft been doing for the last ten years on the software front besides overseeing a continuous train wreck? After the X360 gen they've dropped the ball again and again, now they're just going to puchase all their first party software.

Same for MS

Based

They have killzone and resistance.

But Microsoft can’t even make their own they had to buy it lol

We really need another Killzone. Sony had so many food MP franchises going back to SOCOM, MAG, Resistance, and Killzone.

Or like revive Killzone/Resitance 🤷‍♂️ great IPs on the shelf

Sony is incapable of making a good shooter

So what’s they’re saying that if this merger goes through. In the future once the next gen system come out. They won’t be releasing a COD game for Sony.

So we finally get full cross platform play, just for mergers like this to kill it? And they're trying to argue this isn't harmful to gamers/consumers?

Oh yea it’s that easy huh and where is their CoD in the last 10 years oh wait they have to buy their games 🤣

And in 10 years MS still can’t make a good IP so it has to resort to buying then

All u gotta do is make the same fps on a yearly basis lol

Socom reboot anyone

Yeah because MS are really who you want to listen to when it comes to building a large successful new IP.

And what has Microsoft done?

10 years is plenty of time for Slop Pass to collapse and Uncle Phil to kill off COD. I'm sure MS will think of alternatives in that time.

Lol Microsoft didn’t even make its own Call of Duty

Sony signing Bungie to exclusivity would be a pretty good middle finger.

Bring back Killzone, Resistance or socom.

Insert we getting a cod civil war or rebirth

10 y would be enough for MS to ruin the franchise completely.. there have been more bad than good CODs the last 5y. But it's all subjective anyways.

Ridiculous Sony has no shame to beg like this ‘We can’t compete’ 🤡👇🏻

'Microsoft says 10 years is plenty of time for Sony to make its own Call of Duty'. Does anyone find out ironic that they said that when they're trying to but it rather then make THEIR own either?

If I was microsoft I’d guarantee CoD forever and try and wedge some other exclusives in there too try and sell products for the competition’s marketplace

Creating competition… 🤯

Our community should be mature enough show no alliance to these corporations - nah let's fanboy.... Microsoft buying other gaming companies is bad for gaming. This coming from someone with a Xbox.

Xbox had plenty of time to make a new Banjo game and yet here we are

CoD is the FPS/ Casual market win, everyone knows that and it’s why Microsoft have gone for it. They can’t complete on a level playing field so they need to disrupt an entire business plan. Microsoft have ruined their greatest IPs in the last 10 years with the exception of Forza.

Lol, or to dust off MAG.

Battlefield isn’t bad

Where is SoakEm at Sony?

what kinda argument is this bro

What has Microsoft made over the past decade?

Hate it or love it CoD has become the Coca Cola of gaming and simply put a suitable replacement isn’t that easy

I mean, it's true.

And it is! Start working on new new games and bring back fsn favorites! Cough Killzone Cough Socom!
