Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (hereinafter, SHE), seems to be dissatisfied with Microsoft's remarks on the Call of Duty series. Gamesindustry.biz reports.
Currently, Microsoft is undergoing reviews by regulators in each country to acquire Activision Blizzard. Last September 3, PHIL SPENCER, who led the Xbox business in Microsoft's game category, mentioned the future of the COD series by Activision to overseas media THE VERGE. Even after the contract that SHE is currently connecting with Activision is over, it has been revealed that at least several years (at Least Several More Years) promised to provide the series to the PlayStation platform.

On the other hand, Ryan seems to have an objection to this case. According to the content he told Gamesindustry.biz, Microsoft has proposed to continue to provide the COD series PlayStation only three years after the current contract between SHE and Activision ended. It is not clear whether the provision to PlayStation will be terminated after three years, or whether the extension of the provision warranty period is three years, but he has been further complaining in comments.
Ryan pointed out that the COD series has been provided for PlayStation for about 20 years. Microsoft's suggestions are inadequate in the same point (inadequate on Many Levels), indicating that they do not take into account the impact on gamers. As a SHE, PlayStation gamers want to guarantee that they can continue to experience the highest quality COD series. He further argued that Microsoft's proposal would overturn these ideas.
According to Ryan, SPENCER's proposal was recognized as a private business discussion. He thought he needed to clarify the facts by Spencer's public. It is expected that the current contracts related to the COD series between SHE and Activision will guarantee three future release works, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II released this year.
