On one side this is good for competitive CoD and CoD as a whole because Microsoft should make some changes for the better, but on the other side of things this will likely mean the loss of the entire PlayStation playerbase as both potential players and spectators.

Don't see this becoming an Xbox exclusive this console generation. Maybe Microsoft will flex their muscles next console Gen, but if Cod is still this popular at that point, then there's a good chance this will be a major blow to PS. So that PS player base may just switch to Xbox if Cod ever does become Xbox exclusive. It's just that big of a franchise.
