Microsoft president: “Do you want to kill a deal and cement Sony’s position? Or do you want to open this [Call of Duty] up to 150 million more people?”
Just yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that it had entered into a deal with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to the Japanese company’s platforms for the next ten years. On top of this, Microsoft entered into a deal with Nvidia to bring Xbox PC games to the service. Why has Microsoft decided to make these moves? All in an effort to convince market regulators that the almost $70 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard should be completed.
Speaking at a recent briefing in Brussels (thanks, Tom Warren), Microsoft president Brad Smith addressed why these agreements have been made and even touched upon why Sony isn’t at threat from the deal.
