CTOnews.com, May 10 (Xinhua)-- Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, said he "doesn't care" whether Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is successful, and claims that EA "will remain the largest publisher on the Xbox platform." He also said EA remained open to possible future mergers.

On Tuesday, after the company's latest earnings call, Wilson was asked in a question and answer session what he thought was the impact of the deal on the video game industry and future consolidation. " It's a question I'm often asked-I almost never get a chance to answer it, in fact, "the executive replied," what I'm trying to say is that I don't know what's going to happen between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft. Again, we will continue to be Microsoft's largest partner-- I think we are the largest publisher on their platform-- so it doesn't matter to us whether this deal is successful or not. "

Wilson also hinted that future mergers in the industry are inevitable, and he hopes EA will be in a good position to participate. He explained. " I hope we are large enough to be meaningful integrators in this field. I think we have huge assets about future entertainment. But for now, I don't think we care about Microsoft's success in acquiring Activision Blizzard. We think we have an incredible strategy, we think we have an incredible opportunity, whether it succeeds or not, we will continue to be the number one publisher on the Microsoft platform. "

CTOnews.com noted that on its earnings call, EA had made positive comments about its recent major release, announced that FIFA 23 was the most successful release in the series, and said he was "ecstatic" at the "very strong" start to Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
