Microsoft is currently doing its best to convince everyone why it would be okay if they get to buy Activision Blizzard King. Sony has been claiming that they are against this deal because they think Microsoft would limit this billion-dollar franchise to Xbox consoles.

But Microsoft refuted this by revealing that they offered to keep Call of Duty games on PlayStation for the coming 10 years. This was their response to claims that Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard would be bad for competition in the gaming industry. And they have also put the same deal forward for the Japanese giants as well.

This is not the first time Nintendo is getting Call of Duty

Microsoft has announced that they would bring Call of Duty to Nintendo systems for 10 years. But Nintendo gamers are not strangers to the Call of Duty franchise. There was a time when every installment in the series got a port on Nintendo’s DS series of handhelds. That too with complete multiplayer support. Even Nintendo Wii U got its own version of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Call of Duty Ghosts.
