How Sony Got Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 DLC First On PS4 And PS3

4.6
Sony has shed light on how it managed to partner with publishing giant Activision to secure Call of Duty DLC timed-exclusivity for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Speaking with GameSpot, Adam Boyes, Sony's VP of Publisher & Developer Relations, revealed that the format holder's relationship with Activision for Destiny played a significant part in the Call of Duty partnership.

"Well, I think the first thing was we've had a great relationship with Activision around Destiny," Boyes said. "And I'm a huge fan of that.

"We fell in love instantly," Boyes said of Black Ops III, before describing the upcoming shooter as "transformative" thanks to its new features.

"As soon as I started playing it, I said, 'This feels incredible! You can wallride!' It's just so smooth; it's almost like poetic. And so obviously, we just continued talking with our partners at Activision and worked something out. And now we've got I think a great benefit to all the gamers."

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is due out in November for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. DLC will arrive on Sony platforms first, while the upcoming beta will also debut for Sony consoles before any other platform.

If they put more time into their games then maybe they'd be better. About the gamers my a**. Whole thing is a scam in my opinion.Rant over...

No one is going to switch over due to COD. Lol like you said they only joined Sony due to Sony being more successful then MS.
