COD is a huge revenue stream for both parties but it goes well beyond that.
Sony spent a lot of money and effort to bring up studios and produce high quality 1st party titles.
MS, on the other hand, doesn't have that and their strategy was just to go buy the biggest developers. Take over the development market for the biggest franchises (like Diablo, for example) and then keep them from Sony.
This is (and should be) a huge concern, not just for Sony fans, because it's extremely anti-competitive. MS has a habit of approaching competition this way, going all the way back to the 80's. I don't want to get into a pissing match about because people will just say I'm a Sony fanboy but I have never liked MS. Have had to deal them way too much in my career and they've NEVER actually had me, as a customer, in mind. It was all about maximizing profits.
