Many pointed to @CrashBandicoot as Sony’s Mascot and rightfully so. It was a popular platforming game with a fun main character. Remember those commercials where Crash was outside Nintendo’s HQ with an air horn touting Sony’s console?

@SpaceCamel93 @Colteastwood Microsoft buying them is a lot better then Tencent or Epic Games buying them. I imagine that Microsoft will do the least to mess with their IP and studios. We're also still likely to see Activision Blizzard IP on Nintendo and Sony platforms this way. Who know, Crash in Smash?

@OGG1993 I don't think it's even about "dethroning" Playstation and Nintendo. I think it's about making Game Pass the ultimate gaming service. Possibly trying to even coax Sony into putting Game Pass on Playstation in order to have these games.

@AN7HAZ @KixNobody My logic is make money, don’t piss people off, put games where it makes sense. Look at crash and Spyro. Whatever games come from those IPs I’d guarantee go to Switch. There simply isn’t a big enough audience for them on Xbox. Look at Banjo still goes on Nintendo platforms

@Gaymerfurrywolf Fair, though honestly I was kind of hoping Nintendo would just start buying up rights like to Crash so they could pull him out of that sinking ship

I keep wondering if Genshin is gonna try to be on the cloud for Nintendo like Kingdom hearts, however the problem is ensuring a stable enough connection. That's the only thing I can think of that could be stopping them.

The concept of the Switch (which I’m sure Nintendo will reuse next generation) is going to look less and less impressive as Cloud gaming continues to grow. Not to mention that Nintendo doesn’t have the infrastructure (or understanding) for their own Cloud service.

@NeyoCommander @MintBlitz Illegal would be them buying EVERY publisher and developer in gaming. Rhats what a monopoly is. You can still buy games on other platforms, therefore no monopoly. If xbox bought Nintendo and Sony then we'd have problems lol

@Stealth40k I can’t see Nintendo getting involved in buying studios, they’ll just keep doing their thing & surviving like they always do. Sony needs to watch out - if Microsoft make a deal with a dev like Square-Enix they will be in serious trouble.

@theeKMc The Playststion was created because of a broken deal between Sony and Nintendo, how fitting if Sony bought Nintendo?

"Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard $70 billion" sony & nintendo? last gaming platforms that reach the people? everything else is worthless & limited to certain sections/people? microsoft wants all guys digital on their cloud service? turning game products into $0 value?

@PixelGuff To be honest, with the way Microsoft is pushing Games Pass, it wouldn't surprise me that Xbox will cease to be a console but a service that will appear on both Sony & Nintendo platforms. And maybe even Linux & macOS. 🤔

@Unitedtunic @havehopehut I also predicted that eventually they will move XboxGamePass onto other platforms like Nintendo and Playstation even Apple TV even, just like a streaming service like Netflix or YouTube or Twitch.

@loki6662 @SophNar0747 I think the problem is that Microsoft only has like one flagship character (Master Chief) while Sony and Nintendo have multiple (Mario, Kratos, Link, Ratchet and Clank etc.) They need to put more emphasis on making iconic games and game characters

@GoldMetalSonic I think Nintendo is safe on that regard; Sony in other hand, I think depends of lots of different factors in place; I just hope Microsoft do something with legacy content of Spyro and Crash and get the PS2-GC-Xbox titles rereleased soon enough..,

@blerghwhatever When I press "Nintendo eShop" I get a "currently unavailable" error message. I noticed that it's indeed an US cartridge, I'll have to take the DLC on the US eShop and therefore lose my three "1M%" saves... So happy! -_-'

@hishnash @shameermulji Part of what Apple has to recognize is that Metal/Xcode/macOS has issues for game development. And they're moving towards solving them, slowly. But buying Nintendo is just throwing IP at a platform that isn't technically ready for it.

@Warden201 @JELKK11 @mr_evaporation "Variety" =/= "All", Microsoft has played well with Nintendo so you might see Crash and Spyro appear on Nintendo platforms still Also, they said this about Bethesda games when that acquisition happened and have since announced the next Elder Scrolls and Starfield as exclusives

@Thordansmash I said this awhile ago when the series x and rumors of Bethesda buyout was swirling around that it be a good idea to hedge your bets and buy a series x.. Microsoft is coming after Sony and Nintendo in a BIG WAY.. I think their plan is subscription based service that is

Also I find it very funny that in the early 2000s the iconic Nintendo platformer Banjo-Kazooie became a Microsoft IP and now the same thing is happening to Sony since Microsoft will own Crash Bandicoot and Spyro now.

@OhSoLaciee No. But Nintendo systems are always the ones I sink the most hours into. I don’t a **** over Sony is a proper word for it, but can’t deny it have potential to hurt. With them having ownership of COD, Diablo, along with even Crash and Spyro.

@shameermulji @hishnash In my mind, Apple's biggest issues are developer tooling, ecosystem, not enough Macs, etc. Buying Nintendo does get them some users via the Switch. But it's not really curing Apple's problems like buying Epic or another developer with strong technical experience would.

@AN7HAZ @KixNobody Naw I see Nintendo being around forever, Xbox becoming a service, and Sony I’m not sure. I do think Gamepass will in fact hit ps someday though. Microsoft has better infrastructure than any of them. They are generations ahead. But we still have to wait and see if this is for sure

@Egregious_P I think the disconnect for me with Nintendo is I like the big AAA 60 hour games and that's just not something they offer other than Zelda

@May_Wyvern @KINGDOMHEARTS Well let say if Nintendo have issues with the online service you will not be able to play it to it back up or if ur internet not good it will not play well

@catgirl_megan people don't get that corporations having such tight control over IP *in the first place* is a problem, and increasingly large megaconglomerates is *bad* even if it seems to allow funny crossovers nintendo didn't have to buy sega to put sonic in brawl

@nintendolife All I ask is that if a new Crash game is made it still comes to Nintendo consoles, that's the only thing from those companies I care about

@TheMichael2Rule I don’t think that’s the case. Microsoft and Sony were both TERRIFIED of Google and then Stadia crash-landed. This is about putting giant exclusive games in the Xbox ecosystem. Microsoft and Sony are certainly more direct competitors than Nintendo is.

I really personally dont see this as that big a problem esp because no matter what microsoft do i dont think they can have a major monopoly over video games because nintendo is nintendo and sony makes spiderman games (and their other exclusives but lets be fr spiderman sells)
