"PlayStation CEO Expresses Concerns Over Microsoft-Activision Deal's Impact on Nintendo and Sony"

PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has stated in a deposition that Call of Duty appeals to a "very different market" compared to Nintendo's core audience, which enjoys games like "Mario and Zelda." This comes as Microsoft aims to bring Call of Duty to as many platforms as possible, including Nintendo devices, as part of the Activision Blizzard acquisition. The FTC and Sony are attempting to block the deal, arguing that Nintendo is not a direct competitor to Sony in the main console market. However, Nintendo has been dominating the video game market, with over 125 million Switch units sold and software sales surpassing one billion.
