Call of Duty regularly sold over a million on the Wii.

What is your explanation for why it would sell 200 times less on the Switch, a system with a bigger base and a stronger core focus?

He meant people who game on nintendo. Did u play doom eternal on your nintendo?

As long as they make the games for the actual system. I mean with the Switch 2 it'll obviously be a lot easier to just downgrade Xbox Series CoD graphics a bit to run on it, and I see no reason to expect a CoD on a Nintendo system before 2024 around when Switch 2 is likely to come out. So it's not really a huge concern anyway cuz nobody expects this to affect the Switch.

But yeah CoD on Switch 2, made for Switch 2. That'll sell millions. Not the many millions it sells to the PS/Xbox audience because those audiences have been made around the fact that CoD is one of the major games to get on those systems, but still there would be plenty of people who want to play CoD from anyone on a Nintendo hybrid as long as its actually made for the system and not some poor running port from the consoles.

Yes I did.

There was enough Doom 2016 players to get it ported. Probably won't know how much of it sold because Nintendo is like the only company that regularly gives sales totals for their games, or at least in a way that can be traced to X platform, but never underestimate the value of playing X on your toilet or on a train or a plane.

Despite having my rest with the COD games for a while, maybe I'll snatch one of the future games ... When it goes down to sale of course 😆

Also, expect a single one of them to occupy more than half the space in your SD card storage lol. Unless we get them to actually compress their damn files for once lol

It would still have lesser visuals... But it's far easier to make a game look great on Switch if they build the game up for the platform... Rather than take an already established game/engine/technology base and just make concessions and cutbacks for the platform until it's acceptable on the hardware... We have seen the results when that is done poorly... I.E. ARK Survival Evolved. - But has improved as of late.

And it's not just about looking great, it's also about performance, CoD at 30fps isn't a fun experience... Especially if you intend to push cross-platform multiplayer.

While it'd be cool to see one developed from the ground up, I feel like a port is probably more likely since it's probably cheaper to convert a game that already exists than build one from scratch.

There have been low quality Switch ports like the 2018 port of Ark (though the new 2022 port is a huge improvement) but there have also been a lot of good ones like Alien Isolation, Dragon Quest 11, Dying Light, Nier Automata, Sniper Elite 4, etc. It all depends on whether the team are given the necessary time and resource and if their skills are up to the task.

And I personally found COD enjoyable at 30fps on the Wii. A lot of originally 60fps game have worked fine at 30fps on Switch.

It's also entirely possible that Switch's successor will be out by the time they can bring it across, so the limitations of the current hardware wouldn't matter then.

Eh, I didn't miss COD on Nintendo, so this makes no difference to me really.

If the deal closes and Activision Blizzard becomes part of Microsoft, by the time we start seeing Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms it is entirely possible the successor to the Switch would be available. I don't know the power it would have, but you would think it would be above PS4/Xbone.
