Call of Duty remains the most important part of the debate in Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision, but the Xbox maker says it makes ‘zero business sense’ to remove the series from PlayStation.
Sony and Microsoft’s war of words over the Xbox maker’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard continued on Thursday, with both companies exchanging statements about Microsoft’s commitment to keeping Call of Duty on PlayStation.
The public back-and-forth occurred just as reports suggest that the European Union may increase its scrutiny on Microsoft’s deal. A few weeks ago, U.K. regulators announced that they would look closely into the deal, concerned that could unfairly limit competition. Now, according to a report from the Financial Times, the EU has similar fears and will also move toward a larger, more formal investigation.
