Disputes between Microsoft and the Federal Trade Commission have exposed Sony confidential information. The documents requested by the court include data on the sale of Call of Duty and the development of exclusive products.
It is noteworthy that the data entered the network accidentally. Sony representatives have painted over all numbers with a black marker, but scanning the document will reveal most of the changes.
According to the document, the development Horizon Forbidden West started in 2017 at a cost of $212 million. A team of 300 people worked on the game. The Last of Us: Part 2 cost $220 million and required 200 employees.
The document also talks about selling Call of Duty. In 2021 alone, and in the US alone, shooter revenues reached $800 million. Total sales were approximately $1.5 billion. Most likely, Sony will get about 10% of the total amount.
It was also revealed that by 2021, approximately one million PlayStation users will play Call of Duty alone. About 14 million people spent 30% of their total playing time on the shooter. Over 6 million users spent over 70% of their time in Call of Duty. The latter category spent an average of 296 hours on the franchise.
