Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Microsoft enters agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo

There is a lot of switches out there, if only 10% are interested that's enough to sell over 10 million. I Think that it would be more than 10% tho.

Unfortunately for current Switch owners probably they'll only get a Cloud version or a port of COD Mobile. 

The Switch successor should be able to run COD games natively though. 

Certainly wouldn't hurt Switch successor to have a COD game in its launch window for example.

200GB cartridges here we come

They are going to need bigger carts on Switch 2 anyway.

512GB SD Cards are pretty cheap these days ($50) ... you wonder how long it will take for 1TB cards to get into that price range. 

They would alleviate the cart issue quite a bit, even though people hate it you could have just a 32GB cartridge with enough of the game on it to get you up and playing and the rest on SD Card. 

Maybe Nintendo can do two SD Card slots for the next Switch, that would help expand storage a lot too. I'd assume probably 128GB on board flash.

 More likley much like current Switch games the sizes will be smaller as the game will be more compressed. SD cards willbe bigger. Balances out

Yeah 1TB SD Cards should be $50-$75 by the early portion of the Switch 2's product cycle, so that will be a big help for storage. Not quite there yet but these do come down in price every few years as higher capacities are introduced. With more and more sales becoming digital only 2 SD Card slots would probably also be a pretty prudent hardware change also. Don't even think this would cost Nintendo much of anything as the system doesn't need to read from both cards at once, just be able to store two and then switch back and forth between them so the user doesn't have to swap cards in and out.

I can't imagine a single person on the nintento platform who would be interested in call of duty.

Narrow minded thinking as per usual.

That's gotta be the stupidest comment ever....



....there has to be at least 2 people?



Nintendo stock got a bit of a bump today even though the Nikkei index as a whole was down, so seems like stockholders took note of this note.

Personally I've said for a while, MS should just throw full support behind Nintendo. It is useful for their brands and will also help keep anti-trust lawsuits at bay if they continue to buy big pubs as MS can say "hey we're supporting Nintendo too, that's another 100+ million users". 

Sony is their enemey not really Nintendo. They're not making a Switch like competitor, if you put older Halo and Forza games on Switch for example and Nintendo fans become Halo and Forza fans ... well guess which stationary home console (between XBox and Playstation) they're more likely to buy for example? Put Master Chief in Smash Bros. too. 

Because plenty of Switch owners also own a PS4 or XB1 ... you want those Switch owners being partial to XBox over Playstation.

It was dumb of Activision to ignore Nintendo so long. With the Wii U, I get abandoning ship after 2 COD titles didn't perform as hoped. The Switch is a different story as far as the player base. The gaming landscape may have changed a lot since the Wii, but COD was successful there. The titles averaged over 1 million units sold. For Wii ports of an online-heavy FPS, that's impressive.
Now EA needs to bring Madden back to Nintendo. They also abandoned the Wii U after 2 entries and have been a no-show on Switch.
If the next Nintendo platform is a Switch 2 and uses game cards again, they'll probably cap at 64 GB. Maybe more if we're lucky. There will be large downloadable updates required, like a lot of third-party games.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 144 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million)

PS5: 105 million Xbox Series S/X: 60 million

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
