  1. This is such a weird move, but also a historic move. No one would have ever thought that the Nintendo Switch is getting Xbox Live support. This is the future: all services available on all platforms.

  2. Sony not joining the party on this one really makes sense. Why have one heavily competing subscription multiplayer service on your console with one you get 100% of the revenue from. PSN is selling point selling point for PlayStation and Sony. Nintendo on the other hand has a very inexperienced and poorly received subscription service. Maybe, Having a experienced online gaming service provider on your console, so you can stop worry about your own online short comings. Have them focus on the multiplayer subscription service and Nintendo rake in some side cash from it, don't think I will be that extent but make sense if they did. This whole thing no matter the extent really makes me want to buy switch, now I have don't have to start a game over on the switch or Xbox one, can start off where I left off, hopefully

  3. Wait people.. the ones who saying there no reason to buy Xbox no more..that not true. When they said Xbox live come to Switch does it mean games..or maybe some game..here why Nintendo want Xbox live
    1. Better online service
    2. Achievements
    3. Maybe Nintendo release some games to Xbox
    Same for switch
    Didn't President of Nintendo saying he don't want to do no more Standalone consoles just handheld devices..
    It seems like Microsoft and Nintendo are very close relationships…
    I can see Rare games make a come back to Nintendo and Banjo Kazooie and Master Chief in future in DLC that would be cool….there going to be upcoming Microsoft games will not be coming to Nintendo I don't see it happen anytime soon same with Nintendo but they can do some I can see that… Xbox Live on switch that's cool

  4. Is it me or is MS and Nintendo trying to team up and take down sony a few notches? Honestly this should be the future of gaming where all 3 expand alittle. Consoles should be equal as a platform.

  5. As a Nintendo PlayStation supporter, I have to say that having Xbox Live Gold for the Nintendo Switch (along with mobile devices) would be an epic idea. If you thought the #BetterTogether campaign is over… think again. I care less about the console wars.

  6. They are literally telling people to switch over to others competitors's platforms. good job Microsoft ! When will it be available on ps4 too?
