1. Wow….. trophies…. woopie

2. This is such a weird move, but also a historic move. No one would have ever thought that the Nintendo Switch is getting Xbox Live support. This is the future: all services available on all platforms.

3. Surely we’re a step to a goldeneye remake.

4. Microsoft is officially like Sega

5. CUPHEAD ON SWITCH

6. Dang another big middle finger to Sony

7. Microsoft and Nintendo work together to defeat Sony

8. So that means I'd be able to play Nier Automata on Switch?

9. ?

10. Sony not joining the party on this one really makes sense. Why have one heavily competing subscription multiplayer service on your console with one you get 100% of the revenue from. PSN is selling point selling point for PlayStation and Sony. Nintendo on the other hand has a very inexperienced and poorly received subscription service. Maybe, Having a experienced online gaming service provider on your console, so you can stop worry about your own online short comings. Have them focus on the multiplayer subscription service and Nintendo rake in some side cash from it, don't think I will be that extent but make sense if they did. This whole thing no matter the extent really makes me want to buy switch, now I have don't have to start a game over on the switch or Xbox one, can start off where I left off, hopefully

11. Sony will follow soon

12. Wait people.. the ones who saying there no reason to buy Xbox no more..that not true. When they said Xbox live come to Switch does it mean games..or maybe some game..here why Nintendo want Xbox live
    1. Better online service
    2. Achievements
    3. Maybe Nintendo release some games to Xbox
    Same for switch
    Didn't President of Nintendo saying he don't want to do no more Standalone consoles just handheld devices..
    It seems like Microsoft and Nintendo are very close relationships…
    I can see Rare games make a come back to Nintendo and Banjo Kazooie and Master Chief in future in DLC that would be cool….there going to be upcoming Microsoft games will not be coming to Nintendo I don't see it happen anytime soon same with Nintendo but they can do some I can see that… Xbox Live on switch that's cool

13. Is it me or is MS and Nintendo trying to team up and take down sony a few notches? Honestly this should be the future of gaming where all 3 expand alittle. Consoles should be equal as a platform.

14. Would be nice to get Xbox achievements and gamerscore from Nintendo and Playstation games, maybe at some day….

15. i only ask for fortnite stats on switch tbh

16. Won't happen but sure would be cool if the switch got this streaming service that Microsoft is going to have

17. Excuse me whaaaat???

18. As a Nintendo PlayStation supporter, I have to say that having Xbox Live Gold for the Nintendo Switch (along with mobile devices) would be an epic idea. If you thought the #BetterTogether campaign is over… think again. I care less about the console wars.

19. Banjo For Smash Bros!!!

20. well this great if you own both an xbox and a switch but as someone who dosn't like xbox at all: this sounds pointless

21. Rare replay anyone!! ??

22. Hit like if u had to read that title more than once

23. nani!? An ultimate anime crossover. now, we need Sony in this for the Super supreme ultimate anime "made no sense oh well" crossover

24. How far we have come in the gaming world. This seems to be the beginning .

25. Microsoft is going all in. What's sony doing to improve itself?

26. Xbox to Nintendo: We're like brothers…Only Closer

27. They are literally telling people to switch over to others competitors's platforms. good job Microsoft ! When will it be available on ps4 too?

28. Forza on switch OMG

29. So remind me again, why anyone should get an Xbox at this point?

30. the future of the cloud is coming

31. Master Chief in Smash 5 confirmed

32. Earn Xbox Achievements while playing Smash Bros Ultimate.

33. Bring master chief to smash bring him home

34. Oof

35. Microsoft just make games….. no one cares about achievements anymore…..

36. When u cant sell your own console…

37. Its about time, because nobody Wants a Xbox.

38. So i can play forza on my switch?

39. The notion of playing on my iPhone while using Xbox Live is just…weird…

40. Well I have all 3 let's see how this works out

41. Microsoft is the greatest company!

42. They still hate ps4.

43. And yet another reason not to own an xbox

44. Awesome!!

45. NOOOO

46. This is actually great.

47. Ah man, I really want Nintendo Switch do bad!

48. Wait what the…hold up….wait a min…this smells fishy
