Online gaming publication VG247 has published an insightful article with Mike Ybarra, vice president of Xbox. Ybarra says that Microsoft is extremely open to more cross-platform play on the Nintendo Switch with future titles. Things like cross-platform play are in the works with Rocket League and obviously Minecraft, so the more the merrier.
“It’s more about gamer choice, more about making an IP on our platform last longer. I don’t care about where they play, I just want people to have fun playing games because that’s just better for the industry. The demands of consumers and developers have changed. People are like, ‘we want all of our gamers in one multiplayer pool together, playing’. We totally agree with that. If any developer wants to have that conversation… Valve is right down the street from us, Nintendo is too – they’re like a block from us. We’re having these discussions as developers come up, and we’re completely open to that.”
I don’t know who to support– Nintendo Switch and PS4… or Nintendo Switch and Xbox One (X). Mutual respects to the VP of Xbox and the Head of Xbox.
Easy, PC and Nintendo Switch
pc = steam controller switch = pro pad and joycons and touch scren a nd nintenGOD
there is NO I RELPAET “””” NO REASON”” ON GODS GREEN EARTH TO OWN EITHER A XBOX OR A PLAYSTION AND THE FIRST ONE TO DEFEND THESE OUTDATDED SILLY 4 GEN OLD CONTROLER USING PILES OF SHIT GETS A BITCH SLAP
THERE IS LITERALY NO POINT TO PS4S EXISTENCE and do not do it do not start defending that pile of shit ag-ed old ass dualshock silly littleboys controller that belongs in the 1990s
i am sick to death with you CASUALS claiming your the core a box and a dualshock in 2w017n /18/19 please i have a ABOVE 40 IQ DONT INSULT ME …

why would i buy a box and a dualshock im not stupid i wasnt born yesterday THERE IS NOTHING ANY SONY FAN CAN SAY THATS NOT COMPLETE BULLSHIT
To my pal N-Nation, no doubt you give up your Playstation if Xbox allowed us Rare folks back to Ninty, now that’s a Revelation.
Why would you support PS4 at all? Sony is actively trying to kill Nintendo by doing things like buying MH off Nintendo and releasing Horizon Dawn Zero super close to Zelda to attempt to gimp it.
PS4 IS A OBSOLETE CONCEPT WITH A OBSOLETE CONTROLER
ITS SWITCH AND PC TO ANY SANE PERSON
Is Microsoft taking a 3rd party approch? This article gives off a feeling that Microsoft is treating Xbox like a service. Hm weird.
I mean Microsoft was never ashamed to do something like that. Viva Pinata a Rare developed game and MS IP around 2007 came out on Xbox360/PC and DS for instance
That was because of the deal they had, If I remember correctly, Rare was still able to develope for Nintendo as long as it wasnt for the home console. Rumor has it that it was Rare who made that Halo DS demo back in the day.
If that is the case.
What if they all just played 2k together. That would be a great time
Final Fantasy XIV Crossplay between Xbox and Nintendo, YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.
Cuphead for the Switch please
Keep building this good will and maybe next itll be the RARE ips that make it onto smash.
I hope you right, me knocking Luigi just may be tight. I Grunty will fight with all her might. Now it’s time for bed. Good night.
Ever wonder if all the different “characters” on forums might just a single person creating different accounts?
Well nice ;) but it all depends on the actual third party support that the Switch receives and mostly the devs of a specific title to being open to the whole cross platform gaming experience thing. But still cool MS is open to it.
I for one would love some titles which are first party exclusive to MS on the Switch; Ori (both the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps), Rare titles (albeit I would like the old Rare devs more) and Cuphead to name a few things that would fit on the Nintendo eco-system) but I dont think the love for gaming reaches that far. If it does … major kudos to MS … but highly doubt it.
MS SHOULD GO PC AND TURD PARTY SONY SHOULD JUST DIE AND NINTENDO SHOULD HOLD THE TORCH LIGHT INTO GAMING’S FUTURE AND PC SHOULD BE PC AND ALSO WATCH NINTENDO AND COPY HER INSPIRATION…
XTARD AND CHUMPSTATION OFFER NOTHING BUT A CONCEPT OF PS1 OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN ITS RETARDED
