Please go away. Mike was at Microsoft for 20 years and left in 2019 to join Blizzard and was promoted in August to his new position.
What 14 years are you talking about?? Just stop. You don't know what you are talking about and you are spreading your ignorance.
Uh...because the CEO was implicated and he just got there in August...?
Do you genuinely think before you post?
Our desire to keep it on Playstation...provided 1 2 and 3 conditions are met.
Thanks Captain Obvious! Why would they do that?
And I took that personally

I think I asked a relatively simple question, are Redfall and Starfield which are both Bethesda games, coming to PlayStation? Did I miss that announcement?
Bethesda has announced 1 new game since the acquisition (Redfall) and it's not coming to PlayStation. Another previously announced game (Starfield) is also not coming to PlayStation. What straws are there even left to grasp at?
Hahaha. Okay thanks CEO of a trillion dollar company! Somehow Xbox Series is selling even more than the 360 but it isn't as popular anymore...yeah okay bud!
They are. They did it before with the PS3. Your mistake is forgetting that casuals buy consoles for games like Fifa and CoD.
360 partially killed because of exclusive deals with CoD. Now imagine CoD not being on Playstation at all at the start of the generation...casuals will simply buy the console that has CoD
CoD is the best selling franchise on Playstation for the last 2 generations.
Without it that on Playstation, the crowd that buys just CoD and little else will simply migrate to the console that has it.
The Playstation base is not made up of just Sony enthusiasts like you and the rest of N4G. Most people are just casuals with very little brand loyalty.
It's still early days in terms of the generation which is the perfect time to make CoD exclusive becau...
Sensible. Wait and see. The rest is just armchair speculation.
Did you seriously mention Deathloop again as if it's not a well known fact that it's exclusive because Microsoft had to honour the deal?
Redfall and Starfield coming to PlayStation?
Oh come on! This is a nothing burger!
You are assuming those sales came from die hard Playstation enthusiasts like you. They didn't. Most of CoD sales come from casual gamers or gamers who only care about CoD.
Those gamers go where the CoD is and it's still very early in the generation so there are still millions of gamers who don't have a PS5 or Series console. Guess what the PS4 CoD only gamer is going to do when CoD 2024 is not coming to PS4 anymore because last gen support is being phased out an...
Good luck trying to convince Gamepass subscribers of that! I don't want CoD to go exclusive but I do want it and all Activision games like Crash, Spyro and Diablo on Gamepass!
I also want a kart racer with all Xbox IP including Crash and Spyro and Banjo!
Just like how PS games on PC never happened?
Yikes tell us how you really feel bud!
It's free! Of course that makes it more interesting!
Skyrim wass an anomaly at the time. Yes Elder Scrolls was popular before then but Skyrim catapulted the series into mainstream even beyond games media and culture!
CoD on the other hand routinely sells upwards of 20 million every single year for the last 10+ years!
Yeah that's what I thought.
