How many gamers would choose Xbox PlayStation if Call of Duty didn’t come out on Sony consoles? A survey conducted by the British Competition Authority (CMA) last December warned against 15%, which will have a significant impact on PlayStation revenue and potential growth. However, according to Microsoft, the British authorities have significantly overestimated the influence of Call of Duty and state in their own survey from January 3% the players were interviewed.
According to Microsoft, this is too little to hurt Sony’s competitiveness, and too little to make exclusivity profitable for Xbox. The American company has been talking about this for a long time. On the contrary, CMA talks about the potential loss of a significant share of the PlayStation.
But as Steven Totilo of Axios noted, both surveys focus on something else. British Antitrust Investigation Finds Call of Duty Exclusivity on Xbox and PC Will Force 9% avid gamers Call of Duty to buy a PC, it will eventually move from PlayStation to another platform 24%. Of these 15%.

A survey conducted by Microsoft shows that 10.5% of Call of Duty players who ranked the series as one of their two favorites would switch consoles. However, this review does not include PCs, and focuses on the transition between consoles.. In the written response, the respondents could indicate only PC.
An avid Call of Duty player is someone who has played at least 10 hours or spent at least $100 on a series in the last year.
Microsoft says it doesn’t make sense to remove Call of Duty from PlayStation, and has previously suggested to Sony ten year contract, which ensures that Call of Duty will continue to release on the PlayStation in the same form as on the Xbox and other platforms. But this is not enough for Sony, the contracts were signed by representatives of Nvidia (GeForce Now) and Nintendo.
The UK Competition and Markets Authority also recently found that 40% of PlayStation gaming time is spent on first and third person shooters. In this genre, Activision Blizzard has two big brands: Call of Duty and Overwatch.
