call of duty It is one of those few franchises that arrive every year, punctually, to satisfy a legion of millions of fans who expect each new delivery with certain levels of hype uncontrolled. Battles in the future, in the past with the Cold War as a setting and even the recurring option of showing us how a conflict like that of World War II was experienced from different points of view.
Now, leaving aside what the call of duty This year, there is a bit of controversy around the franchise on account of the purchase that Microsoft has carried out of the company that develops it. Activision, along with Blizzard or King, are on everyone’s lips for an acquisition that Sony, for example, believes will makes Phil Spencer’s a de facto monopolywhich will prevent the Japanese from competing on equal terms within the market.
Will it be an exclusive or not?
So, indirectly call of duty has become the doll of the pimpompú through which everyone wants to hit Microsoft with a stick. That if “it will cease to be available on PlayStation”, that if “it will become exclusive to Xbox…”, the fact is that the problem has gotten out of hand for all the contenders and it will be a judge (or a judge) that ends up deciding if that merger is definitively completed or not.
Now, in the last hours and because of that trial, we have known the number of daily players of call of dutywhich reaches 70 million, as well as what is the percentage of users who connect daily to call of duty on any of the platforms for which it is available – in one way or another – year after year, and which are smartphones, PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Can you guess what the final classification is and which of the four is the most played with this game? shooter? And in which least of all?
amazing percentages
The person responsible for offering this information has been none other than the ineffable Bobby Kotick, the boss of Activision-Blizzard, who within that trial that is taking place has had to take the stand and answer the questions that the parties wanted to ask him. In that statement, he has stated that “theto most of gamers play on mobile phones. Then we have probably 25% on PC (despite how much it takes up), and then there’s about 15 or 16% on PlayStation. And finally 7 or 8% on Xbox.
That, translated into figures by platform, means that on phones or tablets they play a day in the world at a call of duty about 35.7 million players, 17.5 on PC, 11.2 on a PlayStation and finally, only 5.6 on Xbox consoles. So it stands to reason that Sony is complaining about the mere possibility that the franchise will stop reaching its machines, and it is understood that Microsoft will buy Activision-Blizzard to increase the use of its devices and become strong with it. Don’t you think?
