Because you get to play the games natively without streaming, which is a pretty big deal for all but the most causal gamers I'd imagine. I suspect many will try Game Pass on Switch and then later buy an Xbox to play the real thing. Either way Microsoft benefits because Game Pass and xCloud remain a closed platform.
Free of not, airplanes are not going to give you the low latency, consistent and reliable connection you are looking for to play much at all :)
i wasn't talking about their content (MS) i'm talking about nintendo...
Same as now right? but the sales aren't good
Honestly, I think Sumo really nailed the feel of it, and now that they've proven they know what Crackdown is and how it works, I'd love to see them build Crackdown 4 on that foundation. Obviously there is some stuff that needs fixing, driving for example could use a lot more attention, and I'd love to see more melee options added like swords or exploding rocket gloves. A sequel or a really sizable DLC would give them the chance to do stuff like that, plus add more story and other features.
I get wanting to bring Crackdown internal, but I really think Sumo is the best choice for it, and I don't see them getting acquired, there's too much fat on that steer.
No one is for sale...until someone drops a briefcase full of cash on their front desk. That's why no one listens because anyone's mind can be changed for the right price.

Yes but Moon is a unique studio of developers all working from home around the world, who all value their independence. It's a real unique situation.
This is so true. Everyone has a price. It's just about if that price makes sense for both parties.
I think the reality of the situation is that Xbox is 100% focused on services and that's fine. I'll enjoy having access to my Xbox games on my Switch. That being said, I am a bit concerned Microsoft will give up market share in the console space, but I don't think that's their concern any more.
Their seems to be a very obvious set of E3 announcements to make here, if this is true.
1) Banjo is coming to Smash. It'll admittedly be a bit of a tease because people will assume it's a new Banjo game.
2) Partnership with Nintendo. Game Pass and xCloud on Switch. Teasing a collaboration project.
3) Banjo 1 and 2 Remake trailer for the game later this year. Developed in collaboration by Rare and Nintendo.
4) Banjo 3 Tease. Again, developed in collaboration by Rare and Nintendo.
Book it!

Ive been considering going back to school for software engineering but I think Ill be a little late.
They should have shared forza tech with Sumo, that crackdown driving is brutal.
Who from nintendo is going to work on Banjo? It certainly cant be retro or the mario team.
Id love this to happen but if they do make a multiplat banjo 3 i hope it has high quality tech for the one x and is not just a switch game with 4k, rare are actually effective developers for visuals.
curious if its just the game pass catalog coming to switch and not the entire xbox library. Nintendo is probably only ok with just that small catalog with cut from sales.
but Microsoft has already said every game on xbox one will be capable of streaming with no additional work by the devs, will probably need to opt in though. but it would be cool to have all of my games on the switch, and not just game pass stuff.

Rare would have to do the heavy lifting (to avoid the problem you mention), but Nintendo could absolutely lend internal talent without dedicating an entire team.
Every independent studio values their independence..until its time to make payroll and keep the lights on. I don't see how them being spread out everywhere means anything. It's not like MS would force them all to move or change their structure
Most likely this deal would basically be "We fund your games, you can make them on Switch, we own the IP"
Although TBH you don't really need to be bought out for that deal since that current situation would be occurring right now if Ori gets a Switch port
Yup but the more I think about it, the current situation probably suffices. Microsoft funds Moons game, takes ownership of the IP like Ori and allows Moon to put their games on the Switch
Actually this current lineup works fine, there really isn't a need for a buy out.
As long as Xbox console and Xbox PC are the only place we can play these games natively I'll be supporting the team for a long time. Allowing your services to be on the other console isn't bad because streaming doesn't compromise anything.
It's inevitable if you look at the different places and how people will be playing the platform. The idea that in five years you could be playing Xbox titles on PC, streaming on mobile, potentially streaming on something like Switch, but if you played them on Xbox hardware you'd have to pay a sub to play them while you don't on every other platform is baffling.
Xbox Game Pass and/or Xcloud will be the subscriptions, not paying for multiplayer on Xbox hardware.
Just Game Pass titles first might be a first wave of that. That said, I have no idea who this youtuber is and if they have a history of having reliable sources, so it's all a grain of salt at this point.
yeah I was skeptical of the source too. but game informer has since come out and said they have heard similar things from their own sources.

game informer said:
doubtful. nintendo software will be exclusive to their own devices.
After a certain period Nintendo releasing Mario Kart on Xbox would only keep the game selling.
I know it's unlikely but the future is getting weird lol
How is sega doing. Unless they want to get out of the game development bis I doubt they would sell off 2 of there best studios.
No, that's not going to happen. Nintendo will never hand over their most important USP of their consoles.
Well Matt said Don't go ahead of yourselfs
meaning No...
So We get no benefit as Switch owners get
I don't see how it hurts Nintendo to port Mario Kart 8 to Xbox especially if it coincides with when they release Mario Kart 9.
Tens of millions of Xbox gamers would play 8 on the Xbox then buy Nintendo hardware to play 9.
I'm not talking all exclusives but I think Nintendo can make billions more in revenue if certain games come to Xbox as well
I believe Nintendo will sell 50% of the company stock to Microsoft eventually to protect it from google or amazon, Apple buying it that foreign companies can't buy Japanese companies is a myth I want to see a situation like this happen with Nintendo and Microsoft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi_Alliance
it will hurt their hardware(they think about it unlike MS)
maybe they do
It would be the opposite actually because this time they would put their ecosystem on Sony's hardware.
I hope you realize that this is something completely different than what Sega did after they stopped producing hardware (if not, try to think about it a little bit)
It would be a supreme victory for MS, and that's why Sony won't allow it.
i see the other way Around... it's a big Victroy to Sony not MS....Since they become the Only Hardware company left so they will sell the Hardware and Software and Still getting MS software
Nintendo would still sell millions of hardware regardless if thier exclusives are on Xbox as well and the same goes for MS.
There are Xbox fans and Nintendo fans who never buy hardware that isn't from thier fav brand.
But with games pass Nintendo and MS can reach them both and make billions from gamers who would never buy your hardware

They do.
Both of these studios are AAA and the cost of game development is rising.
It's going to keep costing Sega more and more to fund projects from these studios
You can sell 15mil of Smash here!
Or
You can sell 30mil of Smash here!
Creative Assembly is one of the most successful and lucratives studios for SEGA, i really doubt they would sell them off.
Relic though, i can see that happening. Dawn of War 3 was a disaster and CoH2 wasn't anywhere as good as the first one.
Matt has been pretty consistent with his infos. I don't think he got anything wrong from MS, ever.
They are gonna sell 30M not matter what and the get that extra cash from the online service.
Pretty sure he said, multiple times, that Playground was doing a multi-platform game. Which, maybe at some point was true, but obviously shit changes.
Though I doubt Nintendo will be putting any games on Xbox, in the near term at least. Can see the industry getting there one day though.
I know...
I just doubt he knows everything or every fine detail of these things.
Yeah?
But they can make a partnership with Microsoft and their Azure Cloud / XCloud tech to put games in over 1,5bi Windows PCs, 40mil+ Xbox and billions of Smartphones out there.
Also Nintendo still can sell their console, their online service, their games, etc...

They were shopping around a multi-platform game initially, before MS had this dramatic change of tune and could invest more in first party stuff.
