Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden says he sees "consolidation to be the enemy of creativity," as the company's outgoing boss Jim Ryan shares his enthusiasm for Microsoft's Call of Duty deal with PlayStation.
In the run-up to Microsoft's $69 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard and, with it, the Call of Duty franchise, Sony was, as you might expect, more than a little vocal about the deal being bad for business. But PlayStation boss Jim Ryan, who's retiring this month after 30 years with Sony, says he's "thrilled" to have secured a deal that will see Call of Duty released on PlayStation systems for the next 10 years.
