Yooo Sony Response to Xbox-Nintendo COD deal

[Leasy]

Get Sony all the way the fukk outta here they looking bad out here

A new internal report from MLex says this:

Microsoft's Call of Duty deal with Nintendo is misleading, Sony argues

Sony has criticized Microsoft's deal to make the game Call of Duty available on Nintendo — should its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard be approved by regulators — as smoke and mirrors, MLex has learned.

Activision Blizzard could supply Call of Duty to Nintendo today, but doesn't, because Nintendo's younger audience is not interested in the first-person shooter and a previous version of the game on its console was a commercial flop, the arch critic of the deal says, MLex understands.

Instead of being a logical business decision, the licensing agreement is a tactic designed to make Microsoft — whose acquisition has drawn concerns in the EU, UK and US — look cooperative with regulators, the argument goes.

Furthermore, Nintendo's Switch could not run Call of Duty easily and may never be able to, Sony argues, MLex understands. Developing a version of the game compatible with the Switch could take years, making a 10-year licensing deal meaningless.

It is easier for Nintendo to enter into such an agreement, Sony says, MLex has learned. Nintendo doesn't need to worry about equal treatment for its subscription service or cloud gaming service as those are not areas where it currently competes aggressively, the argument goes

its true switch graphically cannot run current COD game on their machine... they gonna have to make and encode a downgraded version... maybe... also this is just MS being salty throwing it in sony's face...they (ms) dont care about nintendo...

Microsoft AND Sony need to takes notes from Nintendo.
There's a lot of losers mentality babble coming from both of them to be honest.
Nintendo carved their video game niche so well that they don't even have to compete on the hardware level at all if they don't want to.
I continue to disagree whole heartedly that the MS deal would really hurt Sony that much. The conversation really seems to circle around the perceived threat that MS may pull Call Of Duty from Sony. If losing Call Of Duty is enough to crumble your empire then you might not be the king you thought you were. I always thought the narrative was Sony stans buy Playstation for the exclusives, not for the multiplats.
Also, we just need a Sony Vs MS / Activision Acquisition mega thread. It's long overdue.

You Dumb ass hell. You think the switch will be the same for the next ten years. Rumors are already rapid that Nintendo will be releasing the Switch 2 within 18 months. Nintendo also has games such as Doom Overwatch etc... developers can make it work as the switch is the same power as a minor PS4/Xbox One. Just imagine the next Switch chip.

Secondly Nintendo audience which has been proven time and time again are adults in a large majority.

Sony arguments are horrible and weak.

I mean that’s a legit argument

CoD hasn’t been on Nintendo platforms in years. The hardware is too antiquated. And the last few flopped to the point that even ActiBlizz didn’t even bother.

What’s the big deal

 

[Diunx]

lol what a retarded ass statement.

I figured the 10 years of Call of Duty was just ebm agreeing to port Call of Duty Mobile to Nintendo platforms, so I can see why would call BS on it, especially since they could easily not disclose that fact until after they get approval for the purchase.
