Smack for Sony? Xbox and Nintendo are now working together
Smack for Sony? Xbox and Nintendo are now working together, While Sony is fighting tooth and nail against Microsoft’s takeover of Activision, rival Nintendo has decided to join forces with Xbox.

Microsoft and Nintendo sign contract: Call of Duty should come to more platforms
There were all kinds of rumors beforehand, now it’s official: Microsoft and Nintendo have worked out and signed a 10-year, legally binding contract to ensure that the games in the well-known Call of Duty shooter series are also available to Nintendo players be made – without sacrificing features and content.
In addition, the version for Nintendo consoles will appear on the same day as the version for Xbox, which Microsoft President Brad Smith officially announced via Twitter. The statement concludes:

Call of Duty on the Nintendo Switch: Can it go well?
Although Smith assures Nintendo fans that they will be able to play the same version as on the Xbox, he will not reveal exactly how this feat is to be implemented – after all, the Nintendo Switch offers a direct comparison with the Xbox Series X |S Significantly less hardware power.

If the developers decide to go this route, it can be assumed that there will be no crossplay in multiplayer . Switch players would be at a great disadvantage in this scenario due to the significantly higher input lag. In addition, the Wi-Fi of the Nintendo Switch is anything but great, which should also have a negative impact on the gaming experience of a potential cloud version.
Microsoft wants to take over Activision-Blizzard, but the deal isn’t done yet. We have summarized the complete story for you in one article:
Should Nintendo finally come around the corner with a Switch successor that offers significantly more performance in the next few years, Call of Duty could also run natively smoothly on this device with some cutbacks in graphics. In any case, we’re excited to see how the CoD developers will put Microsoft’s plan into action.
