They already have cloud streaming games like Control on the Switch. Allowing xCloud on their platform would encourage hardware sells. Can anyone think of a good reason why they shouldn't do it.
This is a huge selling point for Nintendo to adopt gamepass, it would sell an absolute shitton of switches and add value to that platform.Perhaps Nintendo will have integrated Xbox Game Pass into their ecosystem by the time Switch Pro releases later this year, allowing them to market the Pro as the definitive mobile platform for hardcore gamers. Imagine if Nintendo announced at a Direct that you could play all Bethesda titles through Xcloud Day 1 with a simple subscription...mic drop

Imagine being this arrogant.I think Gamepass will come to Nintendo. Another sizeable revenue stream for Xbox, while not really being a direct competitor in the way Playstation is.
The premier Xcloud device is a mobile phone. There are a whole lot more of them around than there are Switches.
Only Microsoft would benefit from this.
No one would go out and buy a switch just to stream games on that shitty screen.
Just buy a series S then. It’s about the same price. Plus it’ll look better and play games from the hard drive.Couldn't you stream at 1080p on your TV.
Relax it wasnt a dig at Nintendo. I just mean Nintendo do their own thing, and have their own part of the gaming market.Imagine being this arrogant.
What cannibalization? Anyone who wants to play the scant few overlapping games that are both on Gamepass and on Switch would not be able to play those games offline if they didn't buy the native versions. Bad take, imo.I dont see Nintendo doing this. At one point I did see potential for a joint partnership, but sales of switch hardware and software is so strong I'm not sure why they would take the chance on this cannibalizing switch software sales.

Like I said it would make 0 sense for Nintendo.
Sounds way too in touch for Nintendo to ever do.They already have cloud streaming games like Control on the Switch. Allowing xCloud on their platform would encourage hardware sells. Can anyone think of a good reason why they shouldn't do it.
That’s my point. If Nintendo isn’t selling any extra Switch’s then what do they get out of this arrangement?You already got a Switch. A Series S cant play Nintendo games.

If Nintendo wants to get into the cloud space, they may be able to get their games on xbox as well. Aren't they working on a cloud solution?I don't see the appeal for Nintendo. They sold over 80M systems. Would more people buy a switch if they had gamepass? Probably, but would that reduce the amount of switch games that the existing users would buy? Probably too. So it is not clearly a plus for them and is thus very risky. Nintendo doesn't take those type of risks.
Xbox players gains nothing with GP on switch.Xbox fans really need to take a break from dreaming about this shit. Good lord.
If they were that tenuously held on the platform, they likely weren’t buying much anyway. Nintendo first party is under no threat at all. There is no equivalent.A casual gamer who sees xcloud as a viable gaming platform and has a game on gamepass, is 100% not buying the switch version. Also every minute spent playing gamepass is a potential minute away from a Nintendo first party game game. If you have a backlog of 10 gamepass games your less likely to go and buy a new switch game.

Totally disagree. Still a bad take.
...?? Maybe because Xbox is a fucking competitor.They already have cloud streaming games like Control on the Switch. Allowing xCloud on their platform would encourage hardware sells. Can anyone think of a good reason why they shouldn't do it.
