In an interview with Kotaku, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, made it clear that I am Sony e Nintendo not wanting the Xbox ecosystem, and especially the Xbox Game Pass on their platforms. For Microsoft there would be no problem in this sense, but it cannot guarantee support for other platforms without having a consideration.
After telling that Microsoft has an excellent relationship with Nintendo, so much so that he recently heard Doug Bowser, the president of Nintendo of America, Spencer has somewhat turned off the enthusiasm about the arrival of Xbox games on other platforms, as happened during the generation current. That the Ori released on Nintendo Switch are a case that will never be repeated again? Never say never, but there are difficulties to overcome.
Consider bringing Xbox games to non-Xbox consoles “It is not sustainable“according to Spencer who, speaking specifically of Nintendo Switch, explained:”To support it, we need to have some kind of Xbox ecosystem. That means things like Live, Game Pass and similar.“Spencer would be open to bringing Xbox, in particular Xbox Game Pass with Xcloud, to other platforms, but as already reported in the past it is Nintendo and Sony who do not want it. So a direct question on the matter replied:”I don’t want to speak on behalf of third parties. I believe it is up to them to answer.“
Basically Microsoft doesn’t want to support other platforms without having some consideration in terms of openness. After all, it is not a non-profit organization.
