Um...theres been an "unofficial" alliance between Nintendo and MS since 2005.
Both have been burned by Sony with the PS1 dethroning Nintendo and PS2 kicking it when it was down. Also with PS2 killing off the massive potential the Xbox 1 had.
Nintendo took the chunk of the casual market and prevented PS3 from really taking off in Japan, Japan being MS's weak point. MS on the other hand agreed to leave Nintendo alone for 5 years in the casual sector and took the chunk of the core market.
Both Nintendo and MS market share grew generation over generation where as PS3 market share fell drastically from PS2's.
Its the best known yet perfect secret out there. Nintendo and MS :)
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
