Xbox Boss Reacts to Nintendo Switch Announcement

i was expecting " my console is screwed"

I still remember when SEGA and Nintendo ran ads blatantly insulting each other's fans. It was pretty ugly too, although some of them were mildly amusing.

Microsoft did make a jab at Nintendo's Wii remote in an ad for Dance Central, Sony made fun of the Microsoft's plans to restrict sharing games on Xbox One, and Nintendo bragged about outselling MS and Sony systems a few E3s ago, but other than that, they've been quite civil lately.

You do know that Sony and Microsoft CEO's and such loves Nintendo products. It's the fucking community that disrespects them and says they're for babies.

When Nintendo makes stuff like the switch it's in no direct competition to the xb and ps.

Phil knows this so he doesn't have to make comments on why the xb stuff may be better like he did with the ps pro.

I love the concept of switch but it seems that the strategy is to join their mobile and console sales for higher numbers as opposed to getting xb and ps gamers to switch (pun not intend...actually yes it kinda is...)

This most likely results in a weaker system again since it's mobile technology to prevent issues like bad battery life and overheating. I can see myself having one more or less everywhere though

Phil is such a cool guy.

So how is The Switch any different than Xbox Play Anywhere? In both cases I can play a game on my console and then take it with me on the go via the Swutch tablet or my laptop.

Design - check

Technology - ?

Games - ?

A Nintendo representative confirmed today that the Nintendo Switch will not be compatible with Nintendo 3DS cartridges or Wii U discs. http://techpathy.com/nintendo-switch-doesnt-support-wii-u-discs-3ds-cartridges/

Nintendo might have been merely trying to cover all the bases. By saying the Switch is not a direct 3DS successor, the company can release one without losing face if the hybrid ends up flopping like the Wii U.

Minecraft on Switch would make money, wouldn't be surprised if it was announced in a year.

For all you fanboys who think Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc. are all in an unfriendly competition.

Made the 3DsXl and the X1 my consoles of choice this past gen and haven't regretted it once! The Switch and the Scorpio will be under my TV before long and I have a feeling I won't regret that choice either! I just hope the Switch will be BC with the 3Ds games.

Phil seems to get it. We all love gaming and pushing one another forward is good for all of us.

Gamespots winning formula:

1. Post clickbait headline with something to do with Xbox to chum the water

2. Wait for fanboys to show up

3. Profit

Anymore it's more interesting to read the comment section of these articles than the actual article. I didn't think people would be so against the new Nintendo Switch so soon, but oh well, it looks cool to me since I've always been a fan of dedicated handheld systems.

It must get old for Phil Spencer trying to feign interest in boring products like the Nintendo Switch.

it's great that he praises another company, but it depends on the people, but for me i usually don't travel and play the the same time, but still useful if i could play around somewhere in my home.

Another Nintendo product..

no backwards compatibility

its a tablet with controllers

Average tablet battery life is??

its going to cost a lot more than an I-pad

its going to cost over 450. fact. if it has built in storage wifi. standard and deluxe bundle it will cost of 500

its a new age Gameboy... [GameGear] 2 birds on stone new DS and console

whats the warrenty on cracked and scratched screens

Classic Nintendo making a peripheral console, your going to be spendin extra money on just peripherals for this thing

Nintendo Switch is an I-pad with controllers because Nintendo they don't want to out source their ips like a third party they are fallin to the sega trap.

Hardware wise the NS is probably still going to be behind the times. I would love to go back to my roots of gaming. The Nintendo 64 was one of my first consoles but they have to make this device more appealing.

...in other words, he doesn't see it as a threat. His comment is just patronizing.

MS will probably try to copy Nintendo with an Xbox Surface tablet. Makes sense given their "Play Anywhere" initiative.

I can't fault Ninty for taking a risk like this... From what I seen it looks nice and plays solid

too bad, Microsoft was not as bold as Nintendo. Their Kinect-centric scheme in the beginning was great, but then take it off because of internets ...
