Microsoft’s 10-Year Agreement with Nintendo Covers All Future Activision Blizzard Releases - eviltoast

This might be old news, but as the focus has been on COD, this is the first I’m hearing of the 10 year agreement being more than COD

    I wouldn’t be surprised if TES 6 and the next DOOM game are also exclusive.

    I am quite sure that they will be exclusive. Read somewhere that Pete Hines (Bethesda marketing head) was saying they got blindsided by MS about Call of Duty, since they were told to keep their games off PS, and COD is going completely opposite way. And they have no idea why the difference between two.

    Didn’t read the exact quote, or from any official source, so I could be misquoting some of that, but that was the general gist of it.

        Yeah, this wasn’t about Activision or anything else, it was just a case about Call of Duty. Which I guess means, Call of Duty alone makes PS more money than all of these combined.

        It looks like TES has sold 58.5 million, Fallout 38 million.

        Meanwhile COD has sold 428 million.

        It’s easy to see COD with its annual release cycle being seen as a more important revenue stream.
