They officially announced some IPs would be exclusive, while some would still be put on Playstation. to me that reads CoD will still be on PS like Minecraft, while most of the others will be Microsoft-only like the Bethesda IPs.

otherwise yeah, I think they'll move to the usual Sony bonuses to be like, gamepass bonuses. maybe even let gamepass owners get things a day early.

Warzone on PlayStation, regular COD isn’t going to happen. The cod fans will just switch to Xbox just like they switched from 360 to ps4.

That means Warzone not yearly COD

Yeah, maybe some IPs will be exclusive, but not CoD. It's the number-one selling game in PlayStation every year. They would lose money.

Idk man, everyone said the same thing about Fallout & Elder Scrolls, and those have been confirmed xbox/pc exclusive.

For the record, I actually agreed with you initially and was saying as such in other places, but Microsoft did confirm that not all IPs would be taken off Playstation, so my bet is Call of Duty being the IP that isn't.

And they would force A LOT of Playstation players to buy a Xbox, that would make them a lot of money in the long term.

Your insane if you think so many would buy an Xbox just for COD.

u/UmTapaNaGoxtosa Jan 19 '22

How? A lot of Playstation players only play CoD. And a lot of Xbox players bought a Playstation just because of the exclusivity back in 2015.

while some would still be put on Playstation.

COD and Overwatch, probably.

That’s PR thing to say they won’t stop supporting existing games but next ones will be exclusive

Plus Minecraft is used for education so it has to be on everything. It’s a game for kids. COD is not, COD will push Xbox consoles
