Confirmed: competitive Call of Duty is ditching Xbox One for PS4

4.3
After some speculation, Treyarch confirmed that competitive Call of Duty has switched over to PlayStation.

When Activision announced that starting this year, PlayStation owners will be the ones getting Call of Duty will DLC early, some fans – especially those who follow or participate in the eSports end – were not sure what to think.

On one hand, the switch means more people will get access to Call of Duty’s pro scene, based on the PlayStation 4 sales numbers. On the other hand, things like competitive play and MLG have relied on Xbox consoles for as long as the game has been relative in the scene, and switching consoles now would require a lot logistical work that can be avoided.

It appears that when Sony said PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty, they meant it. During last night’s Black Ops 3 livestream, which focused on eSports, Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar confirmed that the pro scene will all switch to PS4.

Imagine that. The Call of Duty Championships will be decorated with blue colours instead of green.

There already is both. Tournaments exist for both consoles online today. The switch is for the MLG Pro League and LAN events. You can't have split LAN tournaments down the middle because pro players will adjust to one console accordingly. It's also important to note that the COD 1 million dollar yearly tournament will also be hosted (if at all) on the PS4 due to this PSN and Activision partnership.

Petrucci Personally I hate the PS4 controller for first person shooters and I'm sure a lot of competitive players agree. They've played on xbox for years. They're not just gonna switch over.


to be honest the xbox 360 controller is the best controller of all time. the xbox one controller just doesn't feel perfect. so DS4 > xbox one controller

Now all the small time competitive players that go to small competitions have to switch YET AGAIN for Competitive Playing. First it was 360 to One, and now another $400+ to be spent to keep trying

I guess when you offer an extra $100 million over the span of a 1 year contract you attract a publisher called Activison. Its called "ALL ABOUT THE MONEY"

This is not to better the experience at all.
