This seems kind of like an obvious decision. Why would Sony give their rival their future console plans. Would Microsoft give Bungie their future XBox plans? There isn’t really a sure way to keep information Activision has from Microsoft. With other developers they would be signing NDAs.
You’d be surprised at how long development cycles are for hardware. PS5 development would have started shortly after the PS4 shipped. You’ll see similar for other hardware. In all likelihood PS6 development has been going on for about two years.
For components like CPUs and GPUs, or popular consumer electronics like phones, multiple generations of hardware will be under development simultaneously in order to permit desired release cadences.
i mean… if they don’t want COD on PS that’s a sure fire way to do it.
Cutting your nose to spite the face eh?
…what? Wasn’t their whole argument against the merger that MS wouldn’t release CoD on PS? Now they’re saying they won’t let them release CoD on PS?
Now they’re saying they won’t let them release CoD on PS?
No, they’re not saying that.
