Activision's gaming portfolio coupled with Microsoft's technology expertise (Azure cloud platform, gaming infrastructure, HoloLens, and mixed reality devices, Microsoft Mesh) will emerge as a one-stop shop for all the key components (content, customer base, collaboration software, augmented reality and virtual reality hardware, and cloud infrastructure) required for the evolution of metaverse platforms.</p><p>Bernstein analyst Mark Moerdler also believes that Microsoft is "best positioned to be a big winner from the metaverse."
