Acquisition escalation Just to add fuel to the fire, I’m happy with the buyout of Activision. When I heard about it several people said to me Call Of Duty would be Xbox exclusive, which I said ‘No, it will never happen’, as it’s a massive money maker. But it would be good that the studios Activision owns could then start making new games and not be sucked into the Call Of Duty yearly update.

Seems like that may happen under the expert eyes of Microsoft. You don’t really hear bad things about what Xbox does studio wise, apart from buying up companies then they let them do what they want, which is making games.

Already Microsoft are saying they want to resurrect old IPs and I’m all for it.

So what is Sony going to do? I reckon they are on the phone to Take-Two and Rockstar for all they own and GTA.Cassius2K

If you’ve got it, flaunt it The weekend feature really did rip Xbox to bits and every single word he put was right. When Sony was on the ropes with the PlayStation 3 they didn’t splash the cash like Microsoft, they took a steep back, cleaned themselves up and took another step back and said that won’t happen next time. They sorted out their developers and made a plan for the PlayStation 4 and when it launched it was like Usain Bolt.

Microsoft, on the other hand, had a cry, threw their dummy out their pram, pulled out the cheque book and left the prices bit blank. I know that after they sign the paper work for Activision Blizzard they will then say Call Of Duty is Xbox
