  • Microsoft Signs 10-Year Nintendo Contract Over ‘Call of Duty’

    Microsoft Signs 10-Year Nintendo Contract Over ‘Call of Duty’

    Microsoft has signed a 10-year contract with Nintendo, ensuring the popular “Call of Duty” game remains on the platform.

    Call of Duty (CoD) is at the heart of the issues surrounding Microsoft’s proposed purchase of Activision Blizzard. Sony, in particular, has made the case to regulators that Microsoft will use the purchase to favor its own Xbox platform, withholding CoD from the PlayStation and other platforms.

    Eager to put those claims to rest, Microsoft just signed a binding legal agreement with Nintendo that will see the latter’s gamers playing CoD for at least the next decade.

    Microsoft President Brad Smith tweeted the news:

    The announcement should go a long way toward undermining Sony’s claims.

  • Modern Warfare 3 DLC Gets PS3 Release Date

    A very astute viewer of Roll Call on Elite TV noticed that during episode 11, near the end of the video announcing the DLC expansion pack Overwatch for the Xbox 360, there was text at the bottom of the screen that stated that it would be available to PS3 Elite premium members “on or around 4/12.”

    If you are wondering why it says “on or around?” It is because Sony is in charge of the PSN updates and they seem to update it any time they feel like it. And as a general rule, if there is something that everyone wants, expect the update to be near 10pm.

    Modern Warfare 3 was released on November 8, 2011 and was one of the most successful media launches in history. Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK alone and grossed $400 million.
