Sony is the loudest critic Microsoft is merging with Activision Blizzard and, unlike Nvidia and Nintendo, does not want to sign a contract that would guarantee Call of Duty on PlayStation for 10 years in the same quality, with the same content and on the same day as on Xbox .
Activision Blizzard CFO Lulu Cheng Meservy even claims that Microsoft is ready to offer Sony better terms than the Japanese conglomerate with the Call of Duty publisher now. The current contract between Sony and Activision expires next year.
Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, even had to say during a closed hearing in Brussels: that he’s not interested in having Call of Duty on PlayStation. Instead, he seeks to block the acquisition for nearly $69 billion.
