Microsoft already publishes Minecraft on PlayStation. With a decreased interest in pushing XBOX hardware through exclusives, why wouldn't they port other games too?

They wanted to put their OS on the Playstation from the very beginning. Nintendo and Sony both told them no. He is onto something. If Sony and Nintendo both let Microsoft have their OS they would probably drop the console division all together.

Nintendo should've taken that deal and ran quite honestly. Maybe expanded it so that Microsoft Game Studios would operate as a Nintendo 2nd party. 

Just build clause into the contract that MS can't attempt any type of a take over and it would've worked out OK. Who gives a shit what OS the GameCube would've ran. 

With Sega out, Nintendo would've been a defacto no.2 at minimum and would've sold at least 40 milion GameCubes IMO. It was a better system than the PS2 in a lot of ways (better graphics, easier to program for), these advantages would've been heightened if it was the only alternative to PS2, instead XBox kinda ruined that by doing the same thing divided up the no.2 pie.
