Microsoft should put Halo on Switch

I already know what youre saying, but whats going on is beyond your first and second point.  I see its you who doesn't get my point. Not only is Nintendo profting somewhat off of having third party xbox games on their hardware, but they also get the competitions games. Xbox merely gets the sales of the copies and Xbox Live accounts (that which is the primary core of what Xbox is now). Its all about the services. All they  need after that is to get gamepass onto the Switch. Xbox gets nothing in the way of games from Nintendo, which from a gamer perspective is a lesser deal (not business). We can only speak for ourselves.

What Xbox is doing futureproofing themselves as a soft third party because consoles are no longer a primary option for them. The money they make from everything elses funds other ventures. LOL Its not hard to understand? Consoles are now pretty much for the fans who want them. Xbox fans are no longer the focus as it pertains to the Xbox. Everyone can be an xbox fan now. lol Windows ten is no threat to Steam and windows ten gaming is where Microsoft lays their claim towards the PC market. Even Phil Spencer knows that venture has a long way to go in itself and it isnt changing PC gamers minds anytime soon. So what are they doing? Porting to Steam.

As for the PC argument, Microsoft is spreading Xbox Live accounts on their competiton's hardware. Again, this plan should not even be that hard to understand. Xbox might be having another gen, but where their games land is up to the consumer from now on.

You don't believe what you are actually are saying do you? You actually think Nintendo will make more money off Xbox games sold on the Switch than actually Xbox who own the IPs if they sell on a Nintendo platform? Did I actually read that correctly? Xbox will be making a lot of money off Switch owners just like PS4 owners buying into Minecraft and future Xbox own titles like Bleeding Edge, Psychonauts 2 and The Outer Worlds just to name a few. MS will make more money selling there games on the Switch than selling the hardware for it. Same goes for PlayStation except PS doesn't want to go that route yet (aside from PSNow which is growing fast)

Quote "Lol Windows Ten is no threat to Steam" Huh? Read the graph below.. Windows Ten thrives off Steams success, its why MS have been supporting Steam lately and not directly competing with them anymore. Steam sells Windows and that makes MS money and puts those customers under the MS eco-system.

You want to know what happens when two companies work together in a friendly manner like MS and Nintendo have been doing lately, it breeds good relationships. That means features like Cross-Play etc. Maybe one day will see more characters and game cross overs in the near future between Nintendo and Xbox. Your hindsight is very short term focus here. 

Where me and you are very different here is that I am all full friendly competition. I much rather see my favourite brands work together making gaming a better place for everyone unlike the opposite. I am also a huge Nintendo fan so these moves only benefit me and make gaming a much better place.

I said profiting somewhat, and youre acting like I said they are making more money. LOL How ridiculous. I wouldnt be saying what I am saying if Phil Spencer didnt utter it himself. Xbox is going to behave like a soft third party. They are merely making the console as an option. Its no longer the priority and Spencer said it himself.

Its not friendly competition, its giving your games to your competiton, which by definition is third party.
