Minecraft Makes More Money On Nintendo Switch Than PlayStation or Xbox
According to Stuart, Minecraft makes the least amount of money on Xbox platforms, with PlayStation making about double what Xbox does. However, the biggest console for Minecraft is Nintendo Switch, where the game is "roughly twice as big as PlayStation. 4x as big as Xbox." Stuart went on to note that "Minecraft is one of the most profitable, if not the most profitable first-party game" for the company.
The strength of Minecraft on other platforms was used in the case as evidence that Microsoft has more to gain by keeping Call of Duty available on multiple platforms, should the proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard gain approval. Microsoft has provided contracts to multiple companies offering guaranteed support for Call of Duty for a minimum of 10 years. One of those companies was Nintendo, which is interesting as the Switch does not currently have any Call of Duty games. While there is speculation that Call of Duty will eventually become an Xbox exclusive, clearly, Microsoft sees a lot of financial benefit in releasing certain games across every platform possible.
It's hard to overstate just how big Minecraft is for Xbox, and it's interesting to see how successful the game has been on other platforms. With how much the game makes on Nintendo Switch alone, it actually does help to explain why Microsoft might be eager to get Call of Duty on the system. However, that will all depend on the final results of the FTC's hearing!
