I'm guessing Sony get the most sales.

Why would Sony put their first party games on PC when they're huge system sellers that push sales of Playstation consoles?

When the current deals expire, Microsoft is going to charge Sony more, probably.

They probably did the math and the loss of sales on PS consoles was higher than a potential increase of Xbox sales of people really wanting to play CoD.

Same reason Minecraft is on PS and Switch

Microsoft kinda stopped caring about console wars for a while now and is probably more using this as leverage for Game Pass

I would imagine Activision made it a term of the sale.

Why would they want to keep it off the PS5? When they buy Sony, they'll want their loyal customers to be able to buy the games they like.

They never made a PS5 version of Minecraft after buying Mojang.

Would they need to, since it can just play the PS4 version? There's no Xbox Series X version, either. Seems like it'd be a waste of resources when it can already be played.

Right now CoD sells something like 2:1 on PlayStation vs Xbox. But you can bet they'll be day one on Game Pass and that could see the player base shift significantly over the next few years, and when it's time to renegotiate contracts the lost sales of not doing a PlayStation version might not be nearly as big a deal.

At the very least it's leverage to extract more favorable terms from Sony.

This. I'm not even 100% sure what Game Pass is, but I assume it's a monthly subscription service like Netflix. That's the train every major corporation is hopping on - the console wars are dead.
