Ngl I was hoping Nintendo would buy Activision Blizzard, but Microsoft is just as good. Hopefully they’ll be able to fix all internal issues, and maybe even thing their games to GamePass

@LucasPe49505931 @coreybell25 I have all 3 major consoles I'm worried about the overall health if the industry when you have one company buying so many big fishes. I have a big problem with tencent as well. If sony bought Nintendo I would have a problem with it.

@goldboatlost @AustonMarner2 @nytimes No one is saying they're going to be taking stuff away...crash 4 isn't going to be taken off nintendo and sony stores...but if a crash 5 was made it'd be a microsoft exclusive. Minecraft is a poor example.

@PlaystationSize they acquired the company that while makes good shooters and are own Crash and Spyro, the whole issue is still there, it will always be there. So while every joe is saying Sony or Nintendo needs to worry, let's stop this competitive console war BS from a decade ago.

@Gdjdkdkdk1 Microsoft problem is that they don't have enough big IPs compared to Sony and Nintendo

As a guy who hasn't purchased a 9th gen console, I'm seriously consider #Xbox. First Bethesda now Activision Blizzard. Wow! COD, DIABLO, WOW, FALLOUT, ELDER SCROLLS, CRASH BANDICOT, STARFIELD, DOOM, QUAKE, SPYRO, & STARCRAFT. Not to take away from Nintendo or playstation but WOW

@LarryBundyJr Yikes. Glad we got those Spyro & Crash games on Switch while we could. Microsoft's still not even doing anything with Rare; can't they just give them back to Nintendo? Or at least Playtonic?

Literally Microsoft has a record of doing this with the invention of Internet explorer being stolen from Netscape by Bill Gates. Microsoft isnt a clean company and if there isnt diversity in gaming (besides Nintendo) the western gaming market will crash. Believe that.

A lot of tweets about how Microsoft is getting PlayStation-associated characters Crash and Spyro... but man, half of today's players weren't born back in the PS1 days when that was actually the case. Only slightly less out of date than saying Final Fantasy is a Nintendo series.

@RCAstudios Right, doesn't mean Sony or Nintendo can't come out with a similar service. And Netflix aquires companies all the time.

@JoeBoyrmd @DorianOver9000 @IGN I don't have any problem with microsoft buying them. I have a problem with buying multiplatform publisher and blocking their games in one ecosystem. That's just bad for Sony and Nintendo as well. I won't be able to play new Crash or Spyro etc. on switch, cuz fking xbox. :/

@titanw0lf @XboxP3 Pretty much all of Sony's big IPs came from studios they bought, they didn't just start up a gaming studio and that gave birth to Crash, Destruction Derby, Solid Snake, etc, killed off Sega and nearly Nintendo it's practically Karma

@SpawnWaveMedia Super Crazy, now Nintendo has quite a few Microsoft Properties running on their systems: Minecraft, Diablo, Crash, Spyro, Overwatch, and Skyrim. What's next? XD

Kinda worried that this is gonna force a land grab from Sony and Nintendo. The exclusivity issue is gonna get a whole lot worse from here.

It's getting hot in here.

@rileyjbrewer @DMC_Ryan Yeah I don't know if it is too much. There are plenty of other publishers out there. If it was only Sony, Nintendo and Xbox that would an issue. I doubt EA or Ubisoft will sell.

@tbyrd4230 Technically its not actually running on the Switch. The game is running on a server while your Switch just handles button input. Problem with that, is you're now at the mercy of Nintendo's online infrastructure and your own network connection.

It's wild when you think about how crash went from being playstation exclusive, even heckling Nintendo in a commercial, to being on all platforms including the switch, and now owned by Microsoft

@AbstractCT I don't know much about antitrust laws, but there's still Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, Capcom, and several other rather large AAA companies (EA, etc.). My guess is there won't be an issue (at least not one brought up to the public).

@geoffkeighley Maybe, i can see them maybe portino AN eventual Crash 5 or Spyro 4 to nintendo after tot years, just because platformers today seems to sell only on Nintendo Even in the Gamecube days multiplatform platformer selled more on N

@AtrioxCP @Demon6880 definitely. nintendo and playstation will always be busy doing their own thing. i honestly respect what xboxs trying to do with the whole games as a service thing. its not for me but there are people who want that so i respect it. but they have yet to put out a game i need so idk

@Jasonpeeepooo @b0gur Fair enough, as long as they fix the work environment it's an improvement. But also considering that there's basically 3 video game companies now (Microsoft Sony and nintendo) it'll be a lot easier to do mictrotransactions

Nintendo should try to buy Crash and Spyro quick amid the confusion. They didn't even put them on the list. It could work.

Everytime Microsoft buys a game studio people throw a hissy fit at how "oh they are trying to start a monoply" When let's be realistic, if sony or nintendo bought this those same people would be cheering and dancing in the streets, It's only a problem when microsoft buys a studio
