Microsoft has reached a 10-year deal with Nintendo to put Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms if the Xbox company succeeds in its attempt to buy Activision Blizzard. However, it appears Microsoft and Sony are still at odds for a similar deal.

According to GI.biz's sources, a deal between the two companies is "not close." Microsoft president Brad Smith said at a meeting with regulators in Brussels this week, "We haven't agreed [to] a deal with Sony, but I hope we will," according to the site. Smith reportedly had a piece of paper in his pocket that contained the terms of the deal to demonstrate that Microsoft is ready to make a deal with Sony.

Smith added that Sony can continue to spend time and resources trying to block the deal from happening or it can come to the bargaining table and try to hammer out a deal. As of yet, that reportedly has not happened, though we may never know the nature of extent of talks that happen behind closed doors, off the record, and via back channels.
