Existing doesn't equal future.
This isn't even close to the same thing.
COD players on PlayStation buy PlayStations for COD. They will leave.
It's only the top performer because it's available on PS. Contrary to N4G the majority of gamers get PS to play Madden, FIFA, and COD...and everynow and then something like Spiderman. The charts don't lie.
You think COD fans are going to stay on PS to play Demon Souls? You're out of your mind. They will move to where their favorite game is.
Meanwhile SONY is Rumored to be developing a Game Pass competitor because they agree it's a good model.
If it's a compelling product people will stay. I don't see NFLX suffering from rising prices.

You act like MSFT isn't aware of the loopholes to get stupidly cheap GP. I'm sure in time those will be closed.
They have Xbox, PC and mobile. I think they will be fine.
Now everyone is a financial and anti-trust law expert it seems.
It's not going to be blocked. Sony and Tencent are still larger.
Playstation is going to launch its own GamePass sooo the answer to this question is...yes future titles should be exclusive to PC, mobile, Xbox, and streaming, maybe even Nintendo.
How are you going to prove monopoly with hundreds of gaming companies along with thousands and thousands of user created content. Grow up.
Terrible summary
They already have a great partnership with EA. I don't see why buying them is necessary.
Activision will be in a better place under supervision from Phil
Paying for $70 games a pop isn't a revenue stream?
Give the Sony fans the exclusives they want. Make COD exclusive.
Console Wars are over. This acquisition was an atomic bomb.
They will take a break I think.
Remember when we were told that MS was abandoning Xbox ? Yea that aged like bananas
Because they were already on PlayStation. That's why. They weren't going to switch over if their friends played on PS. Think please
