No word on how long the deal is for, but my guess would be 10 years.

I am willing to bet that Microsoft knows damn well how rabid the hardcore COD fans are that they wouldn't stop producing the game for a certain console, even just to sell more consoles of their own. It wouldn't be worth it.

I can't say I agree. It's more likely they see the money they'd be leaving on the table and it helps that this makes them look more amiable for future acquisitions.
