So you support MS putting Halo, Gears and Forza on PS5 as well right?

I was waiting for that lazy response to come.

I dont believe MS views Switch as a direct competior, Nintendo has even been open to crossplay, Xbox Live and potentially other MS services. Taking all that into consideration, I think older Halo, Gears and maybe even a Forza would be fine on Switch.

Playstation is a more direct competitor, they appeal to similar audiences and they share popular core games. Therefore Switch support makes more sense than PS4 support. But games not considered important to Xbox arguably should be on Playstation. I bet Cuphead would have been on PS4 if they could get Xbox Live on there.

We do know why Sony wouldn't put XBL on PS4 and probably won't also for PS5.

Sure PS4 and X1 are direct competitors, still if talking about were they would get more revenue on the games it would be on PS4.

PC would be an even more dire competitor to X1 since people already having a PC when MS games go there have no reason to choose the console version, still that is the first place they gone.

And we are talking about port of older games. So hardly one would expect someone to decide to buy PS4 instead of X1 because Halo 1 launched on PS4 when if they want to play any other Halo they would need to have X1. Most gamers buy consoles to play the most current games and not the older ones. Reason why BC have been of very little impact to the sales of consoles so far, also reason why people buying new consoles will usually buy more recent games than the older ones on that console. Sure all of these points have exception, but as general occuring that is how it goes.
