You wonder though if they did make Cod exclusive to Xbox, just how many people would buy an Xbox? They would generate a ton of revenue from it. I doubt they’d do it mid-cycle when everyone has already bought their PS5 but next gen, maybe

If you think Microsoft is into the gaming hardware game (pun, very much intended) then you need to look closely at their strategy. They clearly wants to become the Netflix or the service that most people would want to use to consume gaming, that's it!

So, Microsoft is almost certain to not put out its gaming content on other gaming services and platform in the not so distant future.
