When the news broke that Microsoft had purchased Activision Blizzard for a staggering $69 billion, I was among many gamers who felt uneasy about the implications this could have on the gaming industry. The move seemed to put Microsoft in a position of power, as they were now the only company with the financial strength to make such a purchase.
This has caused many gamers to express their concern, with some suggesting that Sony should do the same in order to counter Microsoft's monopoly. However, Sony doesn't have the same resources, and it's unlikely that they ever will.
I personally don't agree with Microsoft's approach, and would rather see a more level playing field with three roughly equal companies. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case.
In order to protect the remainder of the gaming industry, I propose a merger between Sony and Nintendo. The two companies have had a somewhat distant relationship in the past, but I believe that they could come together to form a joint entity that's capable of competing with Microsoft.
Sony and Nintendo have their own individual specialties when it comes to gaming - Sony with their console designs, and Nintendo with their family-friendly games. By combining their strengths, they would be able to create an even more formidable force in the market.
Plus, there would be all kinds of exciting new possibilities, such as Naughty Dog games with Zelda's physics system, Mario games with Ratchet & Clank's graphics, or a F-Zero and WipEout crossover.
I understand that some gaming fans prefer to keep Sony and Nintendo as separate entities, but the reality is that Microsoft's move has changed the playing field. In order to keep the entire gaming industry competitive, a merger between Sony and Nintendo is the only logical way forward.
