The legal proceedings between the US FTC and Microsoft continue, and with it, fresh news and curious statements continue to appear. This time, a lot of interesting information came from the head of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotik, in particular regarding the Call of Duty series: more than 100 million active players play Call of Duty games every month; 70 million people play the series on a daily basis. Mainly on iOS and Android, followed by PC and then consoles. Xbox currently accounts for “the smallest percentage”; Call of Duty was never considered an exclusive series by Activision Blizzard. Kotick is confident that Microsoft shares this position; Kotick admitted he made a “bad choice” when he decided not to release Call of Duty games on the Nintendo Switch. At one time, he was not impressed with the console prototypes, and he thought that it would not become popular; Call of Duty revenue on PlayStation is “double” than on Xbox. According to Kotick, “the success of the PlayStation has ensured success for Call of Duty”; In addition, Kotick stated that the next Nintendo consoles will be comparable in power to the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. According to him, he received information regarding this during a personal conversation with representatives of the Japanese company. The head of Activision Blizzard also expressed confidence that Xbox engineers will be able to help Activision Blizzard in releasing Call of Duty games on Nintendo consoles. At the same time, even if the deal with Microsoft, which pledged to release CoD on Nintendo platforms in the next 10 years, does not take place, Kotick still promised to consider the potential release of ports of the series. By the way, Microsoft did not consult with him regarding the contract with Nintendo. Recall also that Sony accidentally revealed secret data regarding Call of Duty on the PlayStation, and the head of Microsoft admitted that he would like to completely get rid of game exclusives on consoles.
