Jim Ryan, the head of Sony, spoke of an inadequate offer on the series call of Duty made by Microsoft to PlayStation, directly attacking rivals.
Ryan has basically unveiled the deal proposed by Phil Spencer: to keep the series on PlayStation platforms for another three years, in addition to those provided by the current agreements with Activision.
For Ryan, who spoke about it in an official message sent to Gamesindustry.
biz, the offer was inadequate for many reasons.
Jim Ryan attacked Microsoft head-on The current deal between Sony and Activision is expected to cover the next three years, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
For Ryan, the offer of Spencer would not take into account the impact this choice would have on PlayStation players.
Ryan: “I had no intention of commenting on what I intended as a private business conversation, but I feel the need to clarify, because Phil Spencer has brought the matter to public.
Microsoft has only offered to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for three years after the current deal between Sony and Activision ended.
After nearly 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposition was inadequate on many levels and did not take into account the impact on our players.
We want to ensure that PlayStation players continue to have the best possible experience with Call of Duty and Microsoft’s proposal undermined that principle.
“ Ryan’s speech is interesting for more than one reason.
Meanwhile, he clearly shows that Call of Duty is a naked nerve of the top of PlayStation, who are really afraid of losing the series.
He also reveals that Xbox actually intends to make that Call of Duty series an exclusive.
