Sony is worried its players might '[lose] confidence in PlayStation as a go-to venue to play Call of Duty' if Microsoft gets its hands on the series.
, Sony asks regulators to consider one thing: What if Microsoft outright sabotaged COD on PlayStation?
Sony says you can't take Microsoft's recent contract spree—which has seen the company commit to bringingfor at least ten years if the Activision acquisition goes through—as a sign that it will operate in good faith, either. In fact,"any behavioural commitment from Microsoft to grant rivals access to Call of Duty could pose a greater, not lesser, risk for consumers," says Sony.
To be fair to Sony, it does note that these issues could crop up even"without an active decision on the part of Microsoft to degrade Call of Duty on PlayStation" and instead"result simply from Microsoft’s differing incentives post-transaction as compared to an independent Activision".
