Black Ops 3 may not have an exclusivity deal with microsoft, according to its listing on the Xbox store
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Hope that's true. MS and Sony need to stop throwing money and marketing at Activision. See how they get by on the quality of their games, rather than the huge commercial blitz that usually carries them.
Last year both MS and Sony opened their E3 presentations with a hype video for their respective Activision deal (COD and Destiny). That wasn't a coincidence, and it wasn't a reflection on the quality of those games. Pure $$$. Curious to see how prominently they feature this year.
Yup it's going to Sony as well as batman and star wars
Now Sony becomes its own worst enemy. The tables I would not be surprised if flipped next gen
Kind of tough call seeing on how Phil mentions at E3 2014 that Xbox one will continue to receive Exclusive DLC first and what about the COD tournament sponsorship they having going on . Could be PS get marketing and Xbox keeps getting the DLC first.
To be honest am quoting Sony fans here "why haven't they screamed it from the mountaintops". Guess E3 the best chance at finding out.
Microsoft wanted to keep the deal it would happen (money talks)
If Sony has the marketing rights Microsoft dropped them simple as that.
Like all Marketing deals its never about which console is winning it has always been about whos willing to spend the must.
The bigger catch for Sony was Battlefront. Everyone knows COD is available for xbox one.
Its strange last gen Microsoft was more about third party Sony first party. Its the opposite this gen weird.
Personally i prefer this gen to last gen more first party games is always better.
