Microsoft claims it ‘simply wouldn’t be profitable’ to make Call of Duty Xbox exclusive

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Not anymore

God of War
uncharted
last of us
spiderman

all sell more on Playstation consoles than COD

Call of Duty isn't bundled.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Call of Duty isn't bundled.

Those all sold more without being bundled breh

And without being rereleased or remastered

 

[ALonelyDad]

Said it when they acquired it, hard to see a game like cod become exclusive. They will do little perks, etc for Xbox but not the game. Cods biggest user base is Sony

 

[Ineedmoney504]

No company would choose a app that could be had at $1 a month over 4 million games sold in 1 month at a $70 pop

COD day one would literally be the dumbest shyt ever. If it’s a story put that on Gamepass not a damn game that’s gonna sell millions.

Every game pubished by msft is on game pass day 1. So yea why not expect cod to be on there

 

[The Mad Titan]

Every game punished by msft is on game pass day 1. So yea why not expect cod to be on there

COD will def be on there it'll be a huge reason people move over, and for those with hate in there hearts they can pay retail

It will, just not this cod sony owns marketing im sure they got some teflon contracts.

They will. Their PR is in the "say the right things to expedite the acquisition" phase. After that's over? All bests are off once their contractual obligations are satisfied. They didn't pay $70b to "share" with their competition. They want to starve them out and force them to follow their game plan to bleed them dry. It's classic MS.

Exactly, they were saying the same thing about Bethesda games until the deal closed, then they announced everything would be exclusive. Fallout and Elder Scrolls sell just as well as cod and that didn't stop them from making those games exclusive. All bets are off once those contracts end.

Microsoft doesn’t give a fukk about selling copies, they want people buying into the gamepass ecosystem and cod would bring in a ton of subscribers.

They care about COD sales trust

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Fallout and Elder Scrolls sell just as well as cod

In what universe

 

[5n0man]

In what universe

Skyrim sold 30 million

Fallout 4 sold 15 million.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Skyrim sold 30 million

Fallout 4 sold 15 million.

Skyrim sold 30 million over the coarse of like 10 years and 7 re-releases on like 10 platforms.

and COD sells like 15 million copies a year, not 15 million copies once every 10 years. there is no Bethesda game in the same league as Call of Duty, and we’re just talking about unit sales not MTX

Taking a new Bethesda IP off playstation is not the equivalent of taking CoD off playstation.

Skyrim sold 7 million the week it released, had over 10 million sold in its first year, and had 20 million sold within 3 years of release.

If microsoft is willing to sacrifice those kinda sales then they'd probably do the same with cod

When was the last skyrim that came out?

I’d even go on a limb to say Call of Duty alone is worth the entirety of Zenimax

 

[5n0man]

When was the last skyrim that came out?

How anticipated is the next elder Scrolls game? Im positive it would have done similar or better than skyrim. fallout 4 did over 12 million in a year, and it's the worst one.
