Microsoft's Xbox version of call of Duty: modern Warfare 2 claims to be "PlayStation's best-selling work"
CTOnews.com, October 29 (Xinhua) call of Duty: modern Warfare 2 is now on sale, and some Canadian users have found unusual marketing words printed on their Xbox boxes.
In French, the title reads "call of Duty Series is the best-selling series on PlayStation", while the English title on one side normally reads Xbox, which seems to be a typographical error, which some netizens think is due to the censors' inability to understand French.
Of course, Sony's PS version of "call of Duty 19: modern Warfare 2" also says "call of Duty" is "the best-selling IP in PlayStation history."
In response, Sony officials said the figure was based on full sales records as of April 2022, when 25 million copies were sold in one year, helping it reach an all-time high in fiscal 2020. It may also be another example of Sony preventing Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard to regulators.
With the steady progress of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony has been expressing some concerns about the deal. SIE told CMA in the UK that the deal could hurt PlayStation and other game subscription services if Microsoft provided exclusive content for Activision Blizzard games on its own console.
Therefore, Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation have been engaged in a war of words over the "call of Duty" series, Sony insists on not giving in, while Microsoft has repeatedly stressed that the "call of Duty" series will continue to launch on the PlayStation platform.
CTOnews.com has reported that recently, some Xbox players complained that call of Duty 19: modern Warfare 2 could not disable cross-platform gaming, but the PS platform could still disable cross-platform gaming, so some Xbox and PC players were very dissatisfied with this.
Assuming that the above typographical errors will be fixed in a subsequent physical version of Modern Warfare 2, these misprinted games may become collectibles for some enthusiasts.
