Activision's Robert Kotick:

"We've heard that 60 percent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," Kotick told FT. "We don't really participate financially in that income stream. We would really like to be able to provide much more value to those millions of players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

What he really meant was:

"We've heard that 60 percent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," Kotick told FT. "We don't really get any money from that. We would really like to be able to get more millions from players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

Which is fair enough, Activision is a business, but it doesn't make him any less of a dick.
