Microsoft has reiterated that it would make no business sense to remove Call of Duty from PlayStation consoles if it succeeds in acquiring Activision Blizzard.

In a statement to The Verge, Microsoft corporate vice president and deputy general counsel Rima Alaily said there is "absolutely no financial incentive" for Microsoft to remove the Call of Duty series from PlayStation. "Which is why we have repeatedly said we won't," Alaily said.

Microsoft intends to "bring more games to more people, not less," Alaily added.
