So… is Ori on Switch a good or bad move from MS?

I'm starting to think it's a strategy to get more people to consider getting the Xbox as their secondary console next generation compared to PlayStation

If I'm right in assuming you need to actually create an MS/Xbox account or have one already to play. Same goes for Minecraft dungeons I've been told... Not sure about Minecraft itself though or Cuphead.

Would be strange if you needed an Xbox account to play an offline game. But yes, if you want to use online functionality, you certainly have to have an Xbox account for Microsoft's games on Switch (Minecraft and its Dungeon spinoff).

As for an underlying strategy, it's very likely that there is one. Microsoft doesn't really lose a bad word about Nintendo and they seemingly enjoy being on good terms with Nintendo fans. At the same time though, I doubt that it will work. Nintendo fans will take the games, but won't buy another console. Pretty much in the same way that PC gamers will take Microsoft's games, but not buy an Xbox.

Honestly games on a Nintendo system from Microsoft shouldn't matter. It is the hardware and their policies that do.

To me Microsoft appears they want to get things right. My favourite part of the console is that expandable memory slot. If it is hot swapable then great. 

The biggest dilemma is the damn 3080 is so damn nuts in terms of power which will help with ray tracing a lo it makes you contemplate do you go PC or do you go the console route.
