Chixby, 21 Feb 2023Microsoft just trying to buy every game maker out there to ... moreWhy not? Microsoft is a huge company.

    But the hardware from 2005, I mean 2017, just isn't fast enough. The Nintendo Switch would be lucky to boot it at all, and if it ran, it would be 15fps at 480p resolution and lowest settings.

    After all that Microsoft is promising, all I'm hearing is "Cloud Gaming".... which isn't a viable solution for many people. Hence; myself, regulators, and Sony aren't buying this empty gesture.

    Besides, the height of Call of Duty is long behind us. With the likes of Black Ops, MW3, Black Ops 2...
    ....who had stiff competition against Far Cry 3, Battlefield Bad company, Crysis 3, Gears of War 3, Borderlands 2, BF3, Far Cry 4, Halo 4, Metro Last Light, and BF4. All of these memorable games, but nowhere close to the experience of Call of Duty in that era.

      This would, I hope, put pressure on Nintendo to release a beefed up Switch sooner than later though. I was already disappointed at the recent direct that didn't even hint it was in development...

        Plot twist: cloud version

                      After what they did to Nokia, would I still believe Microsoft's words? Nope.
