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.

This doesn't really make a difference to the people watching the Professional players on MLG, not going to complain

They shouldent be ditching sh*t they should just do it on all platforms then no moaning out of people on different platforms, Well thats just my opinion.

only way i could see this working if pros can use third party controllers that have the same feel of a xbox controller.

Mickers Sony picked it up too late. Microsoft more than likely saw the decline in sales and ditched it any how.


Agreed. CoD is dying now. And pros cant just "switch" anyways. They're used to a certain controller and system plus their accounts are probably worth more than gold. They'll keep using whatever it was they were using.

Maybe they should just ditch both consoles and play on PC, to end the eternal war of consoles.

I can't see much love for BO3 anyway so no one cares. If they finally release a good CoD, Xbox will have it back.
