Xbox One: 10 Biggest Mistakes Microsoft Have Made So Far

9. Losing Call Of Duty

Although some people may argue that Call of Duty's DLC exclusivity isn't exactly a big loss, Activision's famous shooter moving to PlayStation is a big blow to both Microsoft and the Xbox One.

Despite what many publishers think, receiving DLC a little bit earlier isn't a selling point for any game. Nobody buys a game on a specific console just so they can pay more for DLC a few months earlier.

However, the fact that one of gaming's biggest and most profitable franchises has jumped from Microsoft's stable straight into Sony's corner just goes to show how the competition has managed to end up on top. This has been happening for a fair while too, beginning a year after the new generation debuted and continuing all the way up to the next Call of Duty.

Although Microsoft has claimed to not be too bothered by the switch, it's still disappointing for them and for people who preferred the shooter's exclusive status on the Xbox.
