It is just a day later when the UK market watchdog CMA has finally said NO to Microsoft with its intention to buy Activision Blizzard and many are already trying to filter important (and understandable) things out of the almost 400 pages report.

And we got an important detail.

“"COD is currently available on two gaming consoles - Xbox and PlayStation.

We found that these consoles compete closely with each other in terms of content, target audience, and console technology. We found that Nintendo's consoles compete less closely with either of Xbox or PlayStation, generally offering consoles with different technical specifications, and with its most popular titles tending to be more family and child-friendly.

Nintendo does not currently offer COD, and we have seen no evidence to suggest that its consoles would be technically capable of running a version of COD that is similar to those in Xbox and PlayStation in terms of quality of gameplay and content.”

Once again Call Of Duty is the center of the scuffle, but surprisingly the Nintendo Switch as CMA pretty much was not appalled when Microsoft confirmed a 10 year agreement of having Nintendo platform receiving Call Of Duty games.

A few months ago, Microsoft went to have agreement conditioned that it was allow to buy Activision Blizzard, that Call Of Duty will be available to more platforms outside Playstation, Xbox and PC and many were having mixed surprise seeing Nintendo was included which at some extents the worry of the CMA is somehow justified.

But, as cases with Fortnite, a currently developed and upgraded game can function in a 30fps environment, that physically the Nintendo Switch can offer, so CMA absolutely denying a possible way to have Call Of Duty on Nintendo Switch so blatantly wrong.

But, I do see that Microsoft’s mistake was to actually going forward saying that Call Of Duty for Nintendo would be for physical installation on the Switch and actually, double pushing for Cloud Gaming market support remembering that Nintendo has a Cloud Gaming for AAA games that are outside the hardware limits of the Nintendo Switch like Kingdom Hearts 3 and many Resident Evil recent games.

I also believe that using just Call Of Duty Warzone as a ONLY EXAMPLE did not help matters either but, expects more dissection of the CMA report justifying their disapproval of Activision Blizzard acquisition in the future.
