Mostly stemming from the back and forth between Microsoft and regulators over its proposed Activision Blizzard deal.<br \/>\nThe $68.7 Billion acquisition would be the largest acquisition in the history of the industry. If it ends up going through. It\u2019s yet to be approved by the FTC following disapproval by the UK\u2019s Competition and Markets Authority and approval by the EU. One constant area of concern has been the future of Call of Duty. To which Xbox CEO Phil Spencer offered numerous deals to Sony and others to keep Call of Duty on respective platforms, or bring it to others where it wasn\u2019t yet available, one of which is Nintendo.<br \/>\nDuring the latest day of Microsoft\u2019s ongoing court case with the FTC over the acquisition, it\u2019s been revealed that PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan says Call of Duty doesn\u2019t fit with Nintendo\u2019s core audience. Interestingly, Nintendo has been an ongoing area of argument throughout this case and in prior proceedings.<br \/>\nMost recently during his deposition, Ryan says Nintendo wouldn\u2019t be impacted the same way as PlayStation should the acquisition go through. The CEO doesn\u2019t believe Nintendo is a true competitor to Xbox and PlayStation. Stating that it operates in a very different market.<br \/>\nNintendo audience isn\u2019t concerned with Call of Duty<br \/>\nThis is essentially the argument that Ryan is trying to make. Noting that the same player base who enjoys Mario and Zelda is different from the one that enjoys the Call of Duty series.<br \/>\nPerhaps to some degree that\u2019s true. Call of Duty\u2019s take on serious themes is very different from most Teen or Mature rated titles on Nintendo. But that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Nintendo players wouldn\u2019t want Call of Duty access. Many consumers who own a Switch also own other gaming platforms. And those that don\u2019t might play Call of Duty if it was available.<br \/>\nOf course, that\u2019s neither here nor there. Because at the moment the franchise is limited to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. There\u2019s also the question of whether the Switch could even handle a Call of Duty game performance-wise. Perhaps Nintendo fans will see their first Call of Duty release on whatever Nintendo\u2019s next-gen console ends up being.<br \/>\nThe post Call of Duty doesn&#8217;t fit core Nintendo audience says PlayStation CEO appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Call-Of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-II-Killstreaks.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call of Duty on Nintendo has been a hot topic of conversation of late.
