O choro do Jim Ryan

GI.biz - PlayStation: Xbox's Call of Duty offer was "inadequate on many levels"

Microsoft has promised to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for three years beyond the current agreement between Activision and Sony, says PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan.

In a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz, Ryan says the offer was "inadequate on many levels".

The current deal between Sony and Activision Blizzard around Call of Duty is believed to cover the next three releases, including this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

However, Sony says the offer fails to consider the impact on PlayStation gamers.

"I hadn't intended to comment on what I understood to be a private business discussion, but I feel the need to set the record straight because Phil Spencer brought this into the public forum," Ryan stated.

"Microsoft has only offered for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends. After almost 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposal was inadequate on many levels and failed to take account of the impact on our gamers. We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft's proposal undermines this principle."

Pelo que entendi da questão, o que não gostaram é que a M$ jogou pra opinião pública que havia feito uma ótima proposta pra Sony (sem declarar os detalhes) sobre a continuidade de COD no Playstation e na prática são só 3 anos de garantia (o que é um tempo totalmente irrelevante para qualquer que seja a tentativa de diminuir os danos da ausência de uma franquia desse tamanho).

Acho que se a Sony não tornasse público os termos e porque é contra, seria pior pra imagem dela.

Nem tem porque reclamar, Microsoft já virou third e é bem provável que Call of Duty vai continuar saindo no PlayStation por décadas.

Eu não teria essa certeza, até porque se fosse essa mentalidade a MS teria proposto um prazo maior do que os três anos citados.
