Microsoft has offered Sony a 10-year contract to make each new version of the “Call of Duty” game available on the “PlayStation” on the same day it is available on the “Xbox”, according to an opinion article published in the “Wall Street Journal” by the president of Microsoft Corporation Brad Smith.
In the same context, Microsoft intends to raise the prices of new Xbox games to $70 instead of $60 early next year, according to a company spokesperson.
And the head of games at Sony, Jim Ryan, announced last September that Microsoft’s previous offer to keep the famous series of games developed by “Activation Blizzard” available on the Sony “PlayStation” for a period of three years after the expiration of the current agreement is invalid. Adequate.
The latest offer from the Xbox video game maker to Sony comes as Microsoft faces mounting regulatory scrutiny over its $69 billion acquisition of Activation Blizzard.
Archyde.com reported last month that Microsoft’s remedy would mainly consist of a 10-year licensing deal for PlayStation owner Sony.
Smith added in his article: “The main potential risk and counter to the potential competition that Sony raises is that Microsoft will stop licensing Call of Duty on PlayStation devices, but this would not make sense from an economic point of view.”
