Sony Dumps On EA in Court Docs. Throwing Battlefield under the bus, the PS5 owner protests it’s no replacement for Call of Duty.

The endlessly silly debacle between Microsoft and Sony, offers as a new lowlight every day. Yesterday we had Microsoft declaring that it has rubbish exclusive titles compared to Sony. And today Sony has just loudly dissed EA’s Battlefield franchise in an effort to prove how much better Call of Duty performs.

Sony Wants Fair

It’s an effort to show that one of the world’s biggest company shouldn’t own one of the biggest game publishers. But Sony and Microsoft endlessly debase themselves to lose. Hence the PlayStation owner’s astonishing declaration to the CMA is very weird. Apparently EA’s Battlefield would be a poor substitute were it to lose access to the Call of Duty franchise.

“Call of Duty is not replicable,” says Sony’s filing to the CMA. “Call of Duty is too entrenched for any rival, no matter how well equipped, to catch up.” Explaining that it’s been the top-selling game “almost” every year for the last decade. it says that “other publishers do not have the resources or expertise to match its success.” Now, that all sounds a touch spurious, given that at one point the Medal of Honor series outsold Call of Duty. But it’s certainly true that in terms of a brand, CoD has everything else beat.

Sony adds that Battlefield’s latest entry sold “just” 88.7 million copies, compared to CoD’s 400 million. Microsoft has repeatedly insisted that Call of Duty would not become an Xbox exclusive. As recently as yesterday explaining how Activision’s behemoth would remain cross-platform, while Elder Scrolls will not. Although based on the utter nonsense that Starfield is a precarious new IP and, um, Fallout 76 is “niche.” So, you can understand why Sony might not take them at their word.

At the same time, not selling CoD to half your current player-base would be incredibly stupid. And while some people might shift from PlayStation to Xbox to keep playing the annual shooter, it isn’t going to be 200 million.
