Activision Blizzard: Fat line-up
Sony thus makes significantly less money in hand than Microsoft: The Xbox Group wants to cost the Game Profit Activision Blizzard $ 68.7 billion (about 61.12 billion euros). From Activision Blizzard, in addition to the “Call of Duty” series, among other things, the “World of Warcraft” and “Diablo” series and the smartphone game “Candy Crush”.
Why does Sony Bungie swallow?
In view of the planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony must set itself on the fact that Microsoft will offer popular titles only exclusively for the Xbox and the on-site online subscription offer Xbox Game Pass. According to media reports, only for the next three editions of the “Call of Duty” series is guaranteed that the games appear for the PlayStation platforms. Since the expansion of the Sony offer with the purchase of bungie is the logical answer.
Halo made Xbox strong
A certain irony is that the now independent developer studio Bungie was once part of Microsoft and “Halo” belonged to the most important games with which the Xbox as Newcomer fought a place next to the schlackhirsch PlayStation. Microsoft retained the rights to “Halo” with the separation completed in 2007, so that Sony benefits from the purchase of bungie mainly from the further development of the “Destiny” series.
