Sony on päättänyt tehdä kaikkensa torpatakseen Microsoftin aikeet ostaa itselleen Activision Blizzard. Playstationin pomo Jim Ryan on tehnyt selväksi, että hän ei ole kiinnostunut tekemään sopimusta Call of Dutysta, vaan häntä kiinnostaa saada kauppa estetyksi.
Analyytikko Michael Pachter on kertonut Destinin podcastissa, että kaupan toteutuminen vahingoittaisi Sonya isosti. Microsoft seuraa aikaansa, Sony ei.
"This deal is going to hurt Sony badly. That doesn't hurt consumers at all. So yes. This is what Microsoft is proving out is $15 a month for content is a better deal than $500 upfront, $70 for the content and $5 a month for multiplayer.
So Sony can either adapt or get run over. So what going to happen with that Game Pass... I think that the console guys like Sony will continue to be ridiculously stupid, and will continue to hand advantages to Microsoft to allow them to grow.
I admire Microsoft because they see this happening and they're exploiting it. And remember, at the end of the day, Microsoft doesn't care about profit per game, per consumer. They care about taking Game Pass from 25 million subscribers to 225 million."
