Corporation Microsoft offers Sony sign a release contract Call of Duty on consoles PlayStation for 10 years for two reasons. First — the concept of “forever” in contracts, as a rule, simply does not exist, the second — 10 years seems like the best timeframe given the length of console generations and the uncertain future of the market.
As the president of Microsoft explained Brad Smithno one in the industry can imagine what will happen to the console market in 10 years — will it continue to exist in its current form or evolve into something else. Nevertheless, Microsoft intends to support the maximum number of platforms with the Call of Duty series in any case, and the PlayStation brand — one of the most important. Making Call of Duty an Xbox exclusive doesn’t make sense, says Smith.
“None of us can predict what format will dominate gaming in ten years. Will home consoles play the same role they play today? Will phones take over? Or will everything turn into a metaverse format? No one doesn’t know,” Brad Smith explained.
