Making Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox “simply wouldn’t be profitable”, Microsoft has said.
The claim comes as part of a fresh war of words between Xbox and PlayStation, as Microsoft seeks to finalise its eye-opening $68.7bn buyout of Activision Blizzard.
Specifically, it comes in response to Sony’s recent objections to the deal – in which it argued that Call of Duty could not be rivalled, and that the franchise was vitally important to PlayStation as it influenced players’ choice of console.
