Square Enix kicked Sony’s ass in Call of Duty: Black Ops III

CoD Japanese publisher rep-resent, rep-resent

Fun fact I realized during my first Tokyo Game Show: Square Enix publishes Call of Duty in Japan. Or at least did, until Sony ended up publishing Black Ops III in Japa💙n on PS3 𝕴and PS4 (Microsoft did the same on Xbox in Japan).

And whatever deal Sony brokered to make PlayStation the official console of Call of Duty means it makes a weird kind of sense that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia President Atsushi Morita challenged Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda in Black Ops III.

Unfortunately, the new Japanese Call of Duty publisher was trounced by spurned Square Enix. The proꩲceedings were live streamed on Nico Nico and uploaded by . The two execs lead their teams in the first two matches. Morita went 4/21 and 5/21, Matsuda went a slightly more ad🦩mirable 6/19 and 13/21. The two then let their underlings play four more matches with Square taking three of four and one draw.
