Microsoft Boss: "We Want to Be a Good Publisher on Sony and Nintendo.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has hinted at the possibility of greater cooperation with companies that have so far been treated as the Redmond giant's biggest competitors.
During a recent interview with Bloomberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that, in his opinion, after the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the corporation could be a "good publisher" for Sony and Nintendo.
We love gaming. In fact, Microsoft Flight Simulator was created before even Windows.
But we were number three, number four. But now, I think, with Activision, we have a chance of being a good publisher, quite frankly, on Sony and Nintendo, PCs and Xbox.
What can we conclude? The CEO of Microsoft plans to expand operations as a "good publisher" not only on Xbox and PCs, as has been the case so far, but also on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (possibly Switch 2).
Of course, these statements should be associated primarily with the current contract for games from the Call of Duty series, although the statement of the head of Microsoft coincided almost perfectly with recent reports that the current Xbox "exclusive" Hi-Fi Rush would soon be released on Switch or PlayStation 5 (also rumored about the Sea of Thieves).
It cannot be ruled out that we are on the threshold of a real revolution in terms of current relations between recent, fierce rivals. Such cooperation would certainly be beneficial to the players (mainly console users), who did not have a chance to try out many great titles because they were exclusive.
