A substantial number of gamers were concerned when it was revealed last month that Microsoft was in the process of purchasing Activision Blizzard.
Microsoft stated that the popular Activision Blizzard titles would no longer be exclusive to Xbox and will instead continue to be released on Sony’s PlayStation, even when the present arrangement between Activision Blizzard and Sony expires. Brad Smith, Microsoft’s President and Vice Chair, said on the firm’s official blog that the business is looking at “taking similar efforts to assist Nintendo’s successful platform.”
Microsoft’s President and Vice Chair, Brad Smith about future games
“Through the length of any current arrangement with Activision, Microsoft will continue to make Call of Duty and other popular Activision Blizzard products accessible on PlayStation.” And we’ve promised Sony that we’ll continue to make them accessible on PlayStation once the current arrangement expires, so Sony fans can keep playing their favorite games.
We’re also interested in supporting Nintendo’s popular platform in the same way. We feel this is the best decision for the industry, gamers, and our company.”
