• During a hearing for the FTC vs. Microsoft case, Xbox head of experiences Sarah Bond said that Activision initially wouldn't commit to working on Xbox Series X|S consoles. 
• According to Bond, Activision was one of the last publishers to work on the new Xbox consoles, and the publisher asked for a higher revenue split on Call of Duty games before any work would begin. 
• This revenue split was already in place with PlayStation, which has an extensive marketing deal around Call of Duty games. 
• Bond says that due to the timing around the situation, Microsoft agreed to the new revenue split.
