Update*

 

They have signed a similar deal with Nvidia for GeForce now for PC games. 

 

Both Xbox games and Activision games (pending this deal closure).. 

 

Xbox is going full 3rd party boys...

This is amazing! Hopefully it’s not Cloud though. But I’m confused, is this all Xbox games… or just potentially COD?

[Playstation Tablet 1,732]

I need details the phrasing is too vague.

[Twinblade★ 3,937]

The downgrade will be insane. Who the hell wants to play one of these on Switch?

[Hot Sauce 2,734]

Going to laugh if it's just a cloud version.

[Tears of the Cows 1,213]

Sounds like MS is fully confident the Activision deal is going through as well.

COD mobile averages ~50 million players a month. There’s a huge market for a Switch version. 

[Playstation Tablet 1,732]

I think this refers to Activision titles only. Maybe I'm wrong.

Switch 1 will not be Nintendo's main/only console for 17 years... Lol

"This is our commitment to being Xbox games and Activision titles" 

[Cooke 2,031]

Probably going to have to wait until Switch 2 for this to really start.

I can see Halo MCC and the Gears remasters coming 

[sugarhigh 519]

Microsoft doesn't own COD tho.

[TLHBO 2,162]

Look how desperate they are for their deal to pass unhindered

[FIREPOWER 736]

 Pure desperation.

 

They are doing this because today is the day they have talks with EU about the ABK deal.

 

They are hoping this will help convince EU that they are committed to fair play when it comes to availability of COD on all platforms.

 

Too bad EU and especially the CMA have already said contracts like this are worthless because they are tough to enforce. CMA specifically is recommending they divest COD or ABK if they want this deal to have a chance of passing.

Yup, just like them making public announcements with Unions yesterday.

 

This is just them hoping that a PR thing can help them with their court case today.

 

Its not going to work.

 

Because they already told the CMA about this 10 year thing with Nintendo months ago. You've already heard about this before.

 

[jehurey 3,273]

 

Microsoft tries to repackage old information, as new big announcements.

[Goukosan 2,258]

Yea we get Microsoft is doing this in hopes to get the COD deal completed. 

 

But alot of you are missing some of the nuances. 

 

Previously it was a verbal agreement for COD only. 

 

Everyone knows MS is desperate.. Nintendo knows this too. 

 

Now it's an actual contract (obviously the deal will have to go through for the COD agreement to fulfilled)... 

 

But Because Microsoft is so desperate.. Nintendo got them to throw in Xbox games as well. 

 

Notice he said Xbox games and COD. 

 

It would be hilarious if MS doesn't get to acquire Activision but they still have to honor the Xbox games on Nintendo systems portion of the contract. 

 

Lose lose scenario for Xbox
