Rumor: Call of Duty exclusivity deal moving over to PlayStation?

4.3

We can’t imagine a world where Call of Duty and Microsoft part ways, but just because we can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it could never happen. There’s a lot of rumors circulating that Microsoft may have lost the exclusivity and/or marketing deal for Call of Duty this year to PlayStation. Rumors started with industry insiders and quickly began to look like a possibility once the Black Ops 3 teasers hit.

DLC is just the first half of the equation. What would this mean for future Black Ops 3 events? or Call of Duty Championship 2016?

Exhibit A) Official Sony Twitter account tweeted both teasers and uploaded to their YouTube channels at the exact time they went live. Microsoft waited at least an hour in both cases.

Exhibit B) Sony hasnt uploaded a Call of Duty video since Call of Duty Ghosts.

Exhibit C) No Xbox One branding at begining of teasers.

Exhibit D) Neogaf “Industry Insider” Kyoufu is indcating that the Call of Duty exclusivity deal has moved over to Sony.

At the very least, it looks like Sony is showing more CoD love this year. We should know for sure this Sunday when the first full trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 releases. Every reveal trailer has been attached with a press release that announces its renewed partnership with Microsoft so time will tell soon….

It doesnt really matter who gets it first as long as you get it

I have both consoles but I prefer the xbox one controller so I would have wanted it more on there :D
It's still not confirmed but looks very likely.

-Steen Thank God. Been on Playstation for 2 years and waiting a month sucks. If this is true then you Xbox players will feel the pain us Playstation users have had.

Don't think anyone really "Cares" about getting dlc a month early, just go outside, get some friends or something lol.

You are on a gaming forum telling people to "just go outside"
wut.

Maybe because it's not actually that important. It's just a game. I don't really care if it goes to Sony. I have the game and can play the game whilst I wait. Not a big deal.

This whole release the DLC one month earlier for Xbox is very stupid in my opinion.

They should just release everything at the same time for everybody.

I don't see this happening they would lose so much money

I really don't see this happening. Microsoft doesn't just let things like that go. Especially to Sony. If anything they would just get rid of the favoritism all together. Zombies gets ruined and sales get effected by releasing to one system early.

Why buy a DLC that has no secrets? (easter eggs)
By the time PC/Playstation gets it everything has been discovered.

HallofFamer just like before PLAYSTATION WILL BE #1 ALWAYS WILL BE

Celebrating getting dlc from CoD early, is like celebrating getting a balloon for Christmas...
Settle down

Have the DLC, I'm not getting CoDs unless they get out of this futuristic mindset they are now obsessing over. If the games were like CoD 4, 5, MW2 etc I think I'd care a lot more. Now the DLC are terrible, the games are worse, and it's just not worth it.
