Sony isn\u2019t impressed, though, just as Microsoft is in the middle of trying to get its $68.7 billion Activision Blizzard deal<\/a> approved by regulators.<\/p>\n \u201cMicrosoft has only offered for Call of Duty<\/em> to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends,\u201d explains PlayStation chief Jim Ryan in a statement to Games Industry.biz<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAfter almost 20 years of Call of Duty<\/em> 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<\/em> experience, and Microsoft\u2019s proposal undermines this principle.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan\u2019s statement makes it clear that \u201cseveral more years\u201d is actually three years after Sony\u2019s Call of Duty<\/em> marketing deal ends. Bloomberg <\/em>originally reported<\/a> earlier this year that Microsoft was committed to releasing Call of Duty<\/em> on PlayStation \u201cfor at least the next two years,\u201d suggesting that Sony\u2019s marketing deal for the franchise could expire in 2024. That could mean Microsoft has only offered up until 2027.<\/p>\n \u201cI hadn\u2019t 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,\u201d continues Ryan in the statement. Spencer said Microsoft\u2019s offer \u201cgoes well beyond typical gaming industry agreements,\u201d but it\u2019s clearly not enough to ease Sony\u2019s concerns over the franchise.<\/p>\n
