Kotick didn't say that these are the exact percentages and didn't say if they were MAU or DAU, he said "The bulk of players are playing on phones. Then you have probably 25% on PC, and then there's probably say 15-16% play on PlayStation, 7-8% that play on Xbox.". He also said CoD has "70M" DAU and "nearly 100M" (the whole Activision has 98M, but part of that isn't CoD) MAU:
Again we see PS outperforming XB around 2:1. I estimated CoD was played by around 10% of the PS MAU, pretty on point. What it surprises me it's to see that there are a little more players on PC than in console.
I assume these numbers mean that Warzone is basically played by the same people who buy the paid CoD, and that CoD has an insane engagement. >70% of their MAU playing daily is a huge engagement.

It’s definitely Warzone. Paid CoD is lumped in there so there’s no distinction to make.
This proves why mobile is the future, and why Microsoft wants Activision part of their mobile plan for revenue. Consoles are definitely not the future, so who knows if they're still be around 10 years or so from now.
Based on this logic playstation looks dead too, so your point?
No it doesn't. Xbox is a lot more shooter focused and the bulk of it's sale are in the US/UK yet it still has half the number of CoD players PS5 has.
Dead, there is nothing going on for Xbox.
In the event MS buys ABK they'll have even less reasons to care about Xbox.
I’d be willing to bet that’s Warzone and not boxed Modern Warfare. International pc audiences will jump on f2p BRs. You won’t see a distinction until next year unfortunately because f2p Warzone 2 and boxed Modern Warfare 2 are deceptively tracked as a single game.
Look normal to me. PS twice as much as Xbox consoles sold and has twice as much COD players.
All this drama to take players away from the 3rd out of 4 platforms? Clearly MS is after mobile and PC most of all. PS is collateral damage.

No way.
The idea that Xbox is the online fps console is an obsolete point that came about the 360 era when Halo was still relevant.
The PlayStation 5 is the console of choice for both shooters and online gaming. Not Xbox. That changed when the PS4 mopped the floor with them.
So Xbox doesn't even have that going for it anymore? How is that better? What are Americans playing on their Xbox then?
The same things PlayStation gamers play. There’s not much of a difference of what the dominant games are on each platform aside from a few exclusives that enjoy a cup of coffee for a month or two (or in Xbox’s case … a day or two)
Online gamers go where the players go. Total population is the most important metric here. You’ll see worthless controller preference debates but they’re trivial points.

Yeah, folks don't realize that ps is as dudebro as Xbox game wise. It has more Japanese games but the bulk of the most popular games are the same.
Except that's not true at all, Japanese games splits still heavily favor PlayStation and Sony games sell drastically more than Xbox exclusives.
If on top of that Xbox is also getting bellow average shooter and F2P splits than it got nothing else left. RIP.
Xbox One user base is likely proportionally way less active than the PS4 user base because of how bad the One was and because they pushed the Series S.

That makes no difference when it comes to online games when they blow out player engagement of single player games as they are designed to. That doesn’t mean those Japanese games or exclusives are in place of those major online games… they are not.
There are no sales metrics for Xbox games anymore. Saying “sales” vs Xbox exclusives isn’t even a valid statement when they’re selling gamespass rental fees and not a singular piece of software. Gamepass killed software sales for Xbox and third parties. It’s a disaster for many reasons.
