Microsoft has claimed that Sony and Nintendo will “remain the biggest” players when it comes to “traditional gaming”, although its going through the proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard goes through.
The company recently launched a new website designed to voice its perceived benefits of the acquisition, as the deal continues to be scrutinised by competition regulators all throughout the world.
According to a deal claimed, “benefit the gaming industry”, and that it would lead to “greater competition in traditional gaming, where Sony and Nintendo will remain the biggest”.
Although, it’s not clear completely what Microsoft means by the look of “the biggest”, whether this means it feels Sony and Nintendo will continue to sell more consoles after the acquisition, or that it simply considers them the “biggest” competition out there.
“Players and developers are at the center of Xbox,” it argues. “We want to enable people to play games anywhere, anytime and on any device.
“And developers deserve more options to build, distribute and monetize their groundbreaking games. When we do this, we all win. That’s why we’re sharing more on the industry and how our acquisition of Activision–Blizzard fits into our gaming strategy.”
