Xbox Live coming to iOS, Android, & Nintendo Switch (Update: Xbox Game pass coming to the Switch)

[Doomsday]

Microsoft is going the steam route. They look to be regressing into a publisher.

If this means nintendo games on Game Pass than I'm all for it.

Basically this means that Xbots have finally been defeated and thus a new stan base must come forth.

So should I GameStop my Xbox? It looks like I need it even less now.
I'm definitely not buying any new ones.

You joke but this is actually the truth

 

[Kingshango]

Well GDC is next month so I guess we'll see if it's true or not there.

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.

EDIT:

I assume this will also come to Apple TV & Fire TV devices.

It's lit.

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.

Fully get that. My thing is what’s the need to purchase an Xbox CONSOLE then? I like the strategy

Xbox games on switch will be streaming. Switch can’t play most Xbox games.

Options. Want a dedicated console to play Xbox games and “the best multiplats” Buy an Xbox.

Just want to be able to stream a couple Xbox games on the device you got, you can do that.

Best multiplats are and will always be on PC.

On consoles it always changes

No major incentive to buy an Xbox console IMO. My millennial coworker and his friends stay on Sea if Thieveson his tablet pc.

Idea is cool though as the money nowadays isn’t manufacturing but services.

Got two switches so I’m good.

Just give me Cuphead on the Switch and i'm good

Sony stans

I heared they want to put it on Playstation but sony is hitting them with the . The next 10 years of gaming will be very interesting. Seeing Microsoft go this Direction is a game changer and if they execute it right they'll be generating more money then they did consoles.
