Xbox's Battle for Activision Blizzard Buyout and Future Console Generation.

During the first day of testimony at Xbox's Activision Blizzard trial, Xbox VP Sarah Bond claimed that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick demanded a greater revenue share to put Call of Duty on Microsoft's platforms. Bond said Xbox decided to meet Activision Blizzard's demands, characterizing the negotiations as "lively." Bond also talked about Call of Duty's marketing agreements, which resulted in "very clear limits" on what Xbox could say about the series.
