PlayStation was sure it would retain Call of Duty simply because of Sony's presence.
New comments from PlayStation head Jim Ryan were uncovered by reporter Florian Mueller, and they paint a pretty confident picture of the company. Ryan was apparently confident PlayStation would still get Call of Duty releases even if 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's pu﷽rchase of Activision Blizzard proceeded꧃, purely because of Sony's dominance on the gaming scene.
This here could be the biggest bombshell in the entire evidentiary record: J🦹im Ryan was apparently cert🌃ain that CoD would remain on the PlayStation because of Sony's market power. //t.co/6DLJ7YkMNK pic.twitter.com/7QEA8r81Ig
It's pretty hard to argue with Ryan's stance here - just look at the extent to which the PS5 is currently outselling the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and S around the world as proof of PlayStation's unavoidable presence 🌄in gaming.
Ryan's comments are perhaps a little less of a "bombshell" considering Microsoft literally offered to put Call of Duty on Pඣla♔yStation devices for a decade. Microsoft was offering 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:damn near anyone a 10-year deal for Call of Duty-related🉐 things like game streaming and cloud technology, but their offer to put the franchise on PlayStation for a decade was by far the most n๊oteworthy.
In actual fact, this is the deal that PlayStation and Ryan weren't satisfied with. Play⭕Station reportedly turned down the de𝓀al from Microsoft, and so Ryan's new comments seem to imply that PlayStation was sure it wou𒈔ld retain Call of Duty even after💟 they'd turned down the initial decade-long offer from Microsoft. That's a very, very confident stance from PlayStation.
Don't forget, we're still getting a new Call of Duty game this year, according to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley.
