I think it'd be a win for MS; in the same way as Nintendo putting their IPs on smartphones, not only do they gain revenue, but as Puggsley says, having the older Halos on Switch could be a taster that could peak the interest of some and get them to invest in the new ones on Scarlet.

Just not having Nintendo put their games on other consoles though, right?.

Sounds like an iffy "they're the same" comparison, considering how you don't see mobile as a threat, but another console. Why not put them on PC as well, or do you consider that a threat?.

And before you type it, yeah, I've seen your jargon for "why" Ninty has to keep their IP's under lock n' key from other consoles.

MS and Nintendo simply aren't the same. Nintendo only does gaming, and their IPs are the central pillar of that. The same simply can't be said of MS. It's apples and oranges.

MS putting some games on Nintendo is good for MS, they earn revenue without suffering ill effects. Nintendo putting their games on other platforms undermines their core business.

Comparing Halo on Switch to Nintendo IPs on Xbox/PS is a false equivalency.
