How does Nintendo avoid any criticism in this topic when it comes to market share and exclusivity? All of Nintendo content is locked on their own consoles and they entirely control the kid and young adult market.
- Kye 3y agoPeople accepted long ago that Nintendo primarily makes consoles for its games, and anyone who wants to come along is welcome, but not necessary. They aren't trying to corner those markets. They just do as a result of the games they make.
- ddtaylor 3y agoBut one of the loudest issues related to Microsoft acquiring Blizzard/Activision is that Call of Duty will be part of the deal and that Microsoft will keep the game on it's platform. My question is, how is this considered a deal-breaker if this is something that Nintendo already does and has been doing in the industry for decades?

- ThatPlayer 3y agoExclusivity and market share aren't necessarily anti-competitive [0]. The relevant market is also important when deciding market share. Like does the Switch compete with home consoles? Or does it compete with smartphone games? Or both?
