Sony is right to worry that Microsoft will, one day, make Call of Duty exclusive to the Xbox platform. Yes, we know that Microsoft has said that it won't do it anytime soon. But, who are we kidding? It doesn't make sense for Microsoft to make Call of Duty and other Activision Blizzard properties available on all platforms forever.
You don't spend $70 billion to buy a company and give your biggest competitors unfettered access to its best games.
While Sony sees this impending future negatively, Electronic Arts CEO, Andrew Wilson, has a different take.
As reported by GameSpot, Wilson believes that making Call of Duty exclusive to the Xbox Series S/X is a good thing for the Battlefield franchise: In a world where there may be questions over the future of Call of Duty and what platforms that might be on or might not be on, being platform agnostic and completely cross-platform with Battlefield, I think is a tremendous opportunity. Of course, there's a reason why Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard and EA.
