Why even make and/or buy an Xbox Console if you can get your shyt on PC and possibly the Switch?
Why not go full multiplat and cake?
That's exactly what they're doing
Xbox Live coming to iOS, Android, & Nintendo Switch (Update: Xbox Game pass coming to the Switch)

If this happens I'm buying a Switch pronto which would be an auto win for MS & Nintendo.
This would be a great partnership for everyone involved, both consumers & providers.

Microsoft must be getting out of the console game next gen. This is too bold a move given we’re on the horizon of the next wave of new tech
Why the fukk would I buy an Xbox when I can play it’s games on a Nintendo and get all the glorious Nintendo exclusives too
@PS4 i can enjoy tiled rescources and the cloud from my SWITCH. Xbox loses another reason to exist.
I ain’t mad at them. Seems like MS knows their role. Let Sony and Nintendo be the top dawgs and MS can stand under them, hoping a scrap or two falls their way.
My, how times have changed.
how are the big triple A's gonna run on this thing.....imagine playing retroarch thru the switch tho
If it's similar to using a cloud server you would have the capabilities of the server not your local machine. Performance consistency will be based on your internet speed and performance.
if this means rare replay on the switch in some capacity, I'm in
MS and Nintendo aren't after the same crowd.
Just like Sony and Nintendo were suppose to work together but sony bailed now MS and nintendo seem to be planning on working together.
MS was and always has been about getting the MS brand to as many people as possible. With nintendo and iOS that gives them a HUGE foot print in japan, which in turn lets people get more comfortable with xbox in those area's where they aren't.
Microsoft losing nothing, Nintendo loses nothing and iOS losing nothing. They all have different over all business goals, and Microsoft has the resource, tech and infrastructure to pull this off correctly. I'm going to love being able to sign into xbox live, and use it for all my online gaming and potentially Game pass.....
Can you image game pass with tiers that involve potential nintendo games also.
Nintendo really just doesn't seem to know how to tackle the online aspect of gaming and it being outsourced to microsoft is a VERY smart move that I don't think would have happen if not for spencer or humble microsoft this generation. He seems like he's really been offering any and all resources to Nintendo as well as just being a fan.
With that kind of power and being a fan....yeah I can see why they are getting buddy buddy.

I meant why even make a console then.

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
To get people on the Xbox platform. Imagine having Sony, Nintendo, Samsung, other Android and Apple customers paying for Xbox live. That's cake.
It seems that this was the plan all along. The console was a Trojan horse to get customers used to paying for a subscription service.
But hey what do I know? I'm a gamer not a businessman.

Xbox is really done
Nah it's actually a smart move and pretty forward thinking tbh.
You guys are focusing on the games, but the PLATFORM is more important. Think about it, imagine you're a company like Nintendo who can't be bothered to spend the money to create a modern online experience. You give M$ the ability to run on your shyt and let them handle it.
Now you can focus on making games.
And XBOX finally gets people playing their gamesSounds like a win win.
Xbox gets more people in there ecosystem. Nintendo finally gets a competent online service
I’ve always said that gamers should have all the systems and a nice gaming pc.
But, it’s getting harder to think that way nowadays.
If RDR wasn’t a console exclusive (and the X1X didn’t have the best version), there’s really no reason to have a PS4 Pro, Switch, a gaming PC and an X1X. I was wrong brehs...
Why isn't Rockstar bringing RDR to PC? Please tell me their bring it to PC at a later date.
Wait a minute!!! Brehs like me who don't own a console right now, but do own a Nvidia Shield TV are gonna be able to eat off Xbox Game Pass. Remember the Nvidia Shield TV got the same SoC & specs as the Nintendo Switch.
@Golayitdown @Stir Fry @Piffolo @Creepn @RedguardEDIT:
I assume this will also come to Apple TV & Fire TV devices.
