Activision Blizzard is probably the most appropriate purchase for Nintendo.
The European Commission held closed hearings on the Microsoft/Activision Blizzard contract this week; the European Antitrust Regulator believes the agreement will exacerbate gaming competition. Following the hearing, Microsoft presented a press statement.
Here's another story.
During the discussion, it emerged that the company assesses the distribution of shares between platform holders in the European market in a strange way. According to Microsoft, PlayStation controls 80% of the market, while Xbox only 20%.
Microsoft for some reason forgot about another major player in the console market — Nintendo, according to reporters and analysts. In the same period, sales of the Switch console have already exceeded those of the PlayStation 4.
Microsoft has attempted to discredit regulators and the press for the first time, claiming that its gaming business is small. The acquisition of Activision Blizzard will strengthen the company's position in the mobile gaming industry, while reducing its impact on the rest of the gaming industry.
This is an interesting story.
