The bear of bad news
This is crazy my friends Nintendos getting all the games even though it makes nowhere near as much revenues and Sony is only getting COD?
And while you are so happy now as a Xbox fanboy you will regret it later down the road When the only option (and rules) to play these games are set by MS.Sony got the end of the stick thanks to the jim shenanigans
That is how companies are. It's no different than the current rules.And while you are so happy now as a Xbox fanboy you will regret it later down the road When the only option (and rules) to play these games are set by MS.
"Microsoft has signed a "binding" 10-year deal to provide CoD access to Nintendo consoles with full features and parity"They are not getting the same COD as PlayStation though, but I guess Spyro and whatever are very important all of a sudden.
can't stopping laughing at this
can't stopping laughing at this
Good luck with the 100GB installs Personally I don't think the agreement means much for Nintendo and I would be shocked if COD came to a Nintnedo platform. Its a paper exercise to appease anti competition claims and Phil will wipe his ass with it when the noise calms down."Microsoft has signed a "binding" 10-year deal to provide CoD access to Nintendo consoles with full features and parity"
Is there anything stopping MS from telling Acti to now only release a low effort COD game every 5 years and them making a spin-of series called Active Duty or something that is basically COD but is exclusive to Xbox/PC?
Yes, logical business sensibility that dictates profits over stupid decisions like that.Is there anything stopping MS from telling Acti to now only release a low effort COD game every 5 years and them making a spin-of series called Active Duty or something that is basically COD but is exclusive to Xbox/PC?
Probably not, but since a large chunk of what they’ve paid for here is the CoD brand itself that’d be very stupid either way.Is there anything stopping MS from telling Acti to now only release a low effort COD game every 5 years and them making a spin-of series called Active Duty or something that is basically COD but is exclusive to Xbox/PC?
I imagine it’s going to be a cloud version or something to get around that stuff.Good luck with the 100GB installs
World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Diablo. I know they’re not household names but stillWhat have Activision made CoD aside in the past 10 years? Crash, Spyro and THPS 1&2 - was there anything else?
This was never about the games for Sony, it was about the potential removal of a massive yearly revenue stream (CoD).
I’m pretty sure he didIs that really true though? Brad had to correct himself that the contract with nintendo didn't include anything besides cod.
I’m pretty sure he did
Those are all Blizzard games as far as I know, and for the purpose of an agreement like this I’d think the wording will be bang on (Activision surely means Activision, and not Activision Blizzard).World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Diablo. I know they’re not household names but still
Bring on THPS1&3 then THUG already.
"Microsoft has signed a "binding" 10-year deal to provide CoD access to Nintendo consoles with full features and parity"
You list those, but you don't include the only game Activision published in the past 10 years that is actually worth playing?What have Activision made CoD aside in the past 10 years? Crash, Spyro and THPS 1&2 - was there anything else?
This was never about the games for Sony, it was about the potential removal of a massive yearly revenue stream (CoD).
Here’s a cloud version.
Or are we assuming that they are going to make Nintendo Switch the base spec for COD? If so then lol
Wow and starcraft have never been on PlayStation to begin with, overwatch is a ftp game available on everything, and they already got the latest Diablo. The rest of Activision's ip are pretty much dead.World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Diablo. I know they’re not household names but still

I love the argument that Sony only cares about CoD. Really makes you wonder why Jim Ryan himself wanted all Activision games to be available on Sony platforms and Sony subscription with full parity in his initial demands if there’s nothing worth it anyway.
On the bright side it’s heartwarming to see that everyone on all sides seems happy with the current deal.
Not gonna happen. They didn’t even need to sign that binding deal with Sony. Really don’t know why they would tie their hands like that. But the intention was always to release COD on PS.Is there anything stopping MS from telling Acti to now only release a low effort COD game every 5 years and them making a spin-of series called Active Duty or something that is basically COD but is exclusive to Xbox/PC?
“The agreement provides that Microsoft will develop and publish future native console versions of CoD titles for Nintendo platforms for at least 10 years,” explains Microsoft in response to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the United Kingdom. “Microsoft will publish future CoD versions for Nintendo platforms on the same date as the release of those versions on Xbox console platforms; and will maintain feature and content parity to the console versions published on Xbox console platforms, subject to Nintendo policy requirements.”
Microsoft confirms Call of Duty on Switch will run natively and not through cloud streaming
Microsoft responded to the CMA assuring the organization that they’ll develop native versions of future Call of Duty titles for Nintendo platforms.en.as.com
What about blizzard now? Overwatch? Diablo? Those are huge franchisesActivision only makes CoD basically so no loss.
WoW and Starcraft are PC centric games, and have not been released on any console so far, while OW2 and Diablo 4 just recently released and presumably there won't be any major sequels (other than expansions which will come to PS anyway) while this 10-year deal is active. The only "big" thing PS only players will miss out during this 10-year period is the in-development survival game made by Blizz.World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Diablo. I know they’re not household names but still
Bring on THPS1&3 then THUG already.
I read this post and typed my reply on my MacBook.Still not gonna make me buy an Xbox, Phil. As I type on my Windows 11 Personal Computing Machine.
Imagine those poor CoD devs watching the Switch 2 reveal and seeing the specs knowing that’s their baseline..Damn the Switch/Switch 2 is actually going to be the baseline spec for COD/ABK games going forward that’s crazy.
Was talking about Activision because that's where the money is on Consoles of course.What about blizzard now? Overwatch? Diablo? Those are huge franchises
The WiiU wasn’t the baseline for COD the last time it was on a Nintendo console. Why this narrative now?Imagine those poor CoD devs watching the Switch 2 reveal and seeing the specs knowing that’s their baseline..
There were ps3 and 360 versions though so it wasnt too much effort getting it running on wii u.The WiiU wasn’t the baseline for COD the last time it was on a Nintendo console. Why this narrative now?

Because the agreement states native versions, feature and content parity with Xbox. We are talking about crossplay here so yeah…
