if they are given the funding to do it right! Yes.
Both war3 remaster and sc remastered had its funding significantly reduced and removed. I think with proper support they can make something really good

My guess is , they will extend the contract a year at a time and each time push for better and better terms for microsoft. Not sure how long sony will think its worth it . If MS starts making exclusive content for the xbox/pc platforms it could be worth it even less for sony

I am personally curious what type of contract they would offer Sony? Certainly it won't be the marketing rights. Maybe smaller cut? Though I still think that COD mainline will become exclusive.
They can try. And it'll likely fail for the same reason as everyone else that has tried and failed to make a COD Competitor. The only to succeed somewhat has been in the BattleRoyal area.
Yea Activision has 3 studios dedicated to COD and who knows how many of their other studios do support work for them. So to catch call of duty you either need to devote just as many resources but more importantly time since games typically don't take off over night or get really lucky and hit a new fad well like a fortnite
But think about it , Call of duty started to become big with COD 2 with launch xbox 360 back in 2005. it's almost two decades of legacy . now I haven't bought one since modern warfare 2 on the xbox 360. But I know people who buy it every year like madden or fifa. So it be hard to just pull people away from COD. I already have friends that have asked me about new xboxs for cod and bethesda games.

Because it is hard? Sony has been trying to make Halo killer for years and failed to do that. Various companies tried to make COD killer and failed.
I would say it is all about luck.
If it were just luck it wouldn't be too bad, but it's years and $100m + to even get to roll the dice.

Well money of course are needed, but luck is also important. Some minor shooter might explode in popularity randomly too.
Is that luck, or something about the game that makes it extremely appealing?
I'm saying it as people who put a lot of work into it.
Whether that be graphics, gameplay, level design, idea etc
Are they sure it will definitely pay of, maybe not. Doesn't mean its simply random luck though.
You prefer the term 'chance'? No one can really predict the next big thing in entertainment and doing it 5 years out is probably as close to luck or chance as anything. Obviously making a killer AAA title takes $ and talent, but being a generational blockbuster is still going to require a bit of lightning to strike.
I think after the "luck/talent" stage which gave a franchise its initial push it might be more about mental programming. As long as you deliver the original trigger experience you'll get your customers even if that experience is objectively stale.
IMHO Nintendo's whole business concept is based on catching people in their normative years as a child. Why would adults otherwise continue play kiddie games? Only because they try to reproduce the dopamine rush they had as a kid.

Adults play games aimed for younger kids because they have younger kids. I stopped playing mario after 64 as I entered my adult years but when my nephew was 5 we started playing it together.
Same here
Im playing games like minecraft due to nephews, its quite fun. Wouldnt play it myself alone though Ok, granted. I haven't thought about the Dad/child dynamic here
Lol it's all good. I don't have kids , so I can understand how easy it is to not think about kids influencing what they play. I'm entering my 40s and the game types I play change often aside from rpgs. I play shooters a lot and then stop for years , I play adventure games and then stop for years. I hated zelda after wind waker but I loved breath of the wild.
