The Sony bombshell email is back.

Microsoft’s lawyers bring up the email between Jim Ryan and Chris Deering, former CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, discussing the announcement of Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal last year.

“It is not an Xbox exclusivity play at all. They’re thinking bigger than that and they have the cash to make moves like this. I’ve spent a fair amount of time with both Phil [Spencer] Bobby [Kotick] over the past day and I’m pretty sure we will continue to see Call of Duty on PlayStation for many years to come.”

Deering replied.

“This deal would cement Microsoft as a player in mobile games. It strikes me as more of a king play than Call of Duty.” Ryan didn’t disagree.
