Microsoft and Sony have signed an agreement to keep Activision's best-selling Call of Duty series available on PlayStation, after the conclusion of the deal.
Activision is the maker of the best-selling Call of Duty lineup. Regulators around the world had expressed significant concern about Microsoft's power over the gaming market if an Activision acquisition was approved.
Microsoft is the manufacturer of the Xbox, which competes directly with Sony's PlayStation, prompting fears that Microsoft would be able to make games "exclusive" to its own consoles and displace Sony from competition. The deal does something to ameliorate those concerns, although Microsoft and Sony aren't disclosing the duration of the agreement. A Microsoft spokesperson did note the deal was in place for the long term. The company has signedAnti-competitive concerns were shared by the CEO of Sony's interactive entertainment division, Jim Ryan, as recently as last month.
The acquisition isn't certain to close, although Microsoft and Activision's prospects are markedly better after a federal appeals judge
