Xbox boss says Playstation is using unfair methods

Microsoft is still trying to finalize its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard. However, the company faces opposition from all corners, especially from the competing console manufacturer Sony. Among other things, Sony fears that the popular shooter Call of Duty could become an exclusive title for Xbox in the future, which Microsoft has repeatedly denied in the past. In the meantime, the company has even assured both Nintendo and Valve, in addition to Sony, that Call of Duty would also be released for their platforms in the future.

According to Phil Spencer, Sony wants to grow by keeping Xbox small

According to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, Sony isn’t a fan of the proposed acquisition because the company “wants to protect its dominance in the console market.” Like Spencer in one explained in a recent Second Request podcast, Sony grows by “downsizing Xbox”.

“Sony is having the dialogue about why the deal shouldn’t go through to protect their dominant position in consoles, so they’re stuck with Call of Duty. The largest console maker in the world is objecting to the one franchise we told you about have it continue to ship on the platform.”

Learned in September The Vergethat Spencer made a written promise to PlayStation boss Jim Ryan that they would bring Call of Duty to PlayStation consoles for “several years”. However, Sony described this offer as “inadequate on many levels”, which is why Microsoft now Sony, Nintendo, and Valve offered the aforementioned 10-year Call of Duty deals. So far, however, Sony has not commented on this.
