That's all good and fine, but Microsoft has committed to bringing Activision titles to the Sony platform for at least a decade. Microsoft could have easily walled off Minecraft and Bethesda titles on the PS platform, but they haven't because they're heavily vested in the business of selling games... not just consoles. You're right, they've both done it in the past, only Sony wants to keep doing it. Microsoft is saying lets get rich publishing games people love, we don't care where you play it, we're getting paid regardless and we're also looking to buy a company that has the best version of cross play available today so that we can continue to satisfy gamers where ever they are. Also, GoW is available for PC, but not Xbox. COD will become a Microsoft game if Sony who opened this can of worms isn't willing to share their concern or prove they're not engaged in the practices they claim to be against, which they are. I don't disagree with you, but it's fairly clear that Microsoft wants to sell games and Sony wants to sell consoles that still aren't even available in most places for purchase.
