...you mean XB5. We are already on their 4th.

they probably do not disclose important information with those companies either... when sony developed the ps4 and ps5 they asked publishers and devs about many things and let them help with the developing of those consoles, controllers etc so they had a better platform and a easier way to work and understand the console, guess activision is out of the picture for that, they will probably provide enough information for them to make the game but most likely wont give them full details about their console and its features, they will get the developer kits when they are on stone and i mean when there is no way for sony to really change stuff around the system, btw MS probably do the same its business after all

Even if MS buys Activision MS will lose in the end and gamers will have lost the most.

A company operating on profits over values forgets that values make a good game.

Good Luck gamers, we gonna need it.

Correct Sony said they can continue to develop on all consoles as long as they defo on ps. That's the way to do it. Think only thing Sony gets from bungie is maybe exclusive content.

Come on man

@ANGAINORG7X

What? A monopoly is a monopoly. You can't put lipstick on a pig.

When is enough enough for you people? Pick up a history book and see the trends happening all over again...

@prime157 you can absolutely put lipstick on a pig. Hell, We put eyebrows on the dog once. I suggest you try it. The expressions become more human and absolutely hilarious.

The continued narrative about buying ABK is the same as buying a smaller dev is just getting sad at this point. It's like saying buying up a beer-league softball team is the same as buying the entire MLB.

Prime your absolutely right. Look at their past in the pc market. As a consumer how can you condone this. O cause you'll get cod rented to you for free

This isn't true Discord reached out to several companies, and MS offered $12 billion.

Discord ultimately decided against it and will go public instead as they are valued at $15 billion.

Discord rejected the offer it had nothing to do with Sony.

I'm joking my man. You don't think MS didn't know what Sony was working on with the PS4 and PS5 and they just magically came out with near identical specs CPU / GPU wise? MS would have ways of figuring it out for the most part, without the need of Activision.

Makes me wonder how that will work out with MLB The Show if that arrangement is still like it is when the next gen comes around.

Lol i just thought it was super weird and hilarious. The interviewer brains are on Patrón.

He asked a question that was rhetorical. This common sense if Xbox has Activision under there belt why would Sony tell Microsoft about there console?

Lol the interviewer is suppose to be great at phrasing questions.

@KingKionic

The "lawyer."

This was a deposition.

The lawyer asked a question that was in no way rhetorical. The point was to get Jim Ryan's answer for the record. They are making the case that there would not need to be an intention to sabotage CoD on PS for next-gen PS consoles to get an inferior product, than they would have sans merger, because Activision being acquired by a rival would practically prohibit PS from sharing sensitive information and access to aid in development.

@kingkionic its an interview, none of the questions are rhetorical.
