Former Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aimé in an interview with the magazine Gaming business says he's surprised Xbox hasn't released more of its games for the Nintendo Switch 2 as the company pursues a multi-platform strategy.
“I'm surprised Xbox hasn't fully embraced it yet Switch 2 from a software perspective,” Fils-Aimé said. “Of course, some games can easily be ported to Switch 2. And I'm surprised we haven't seen more of that. I thought there would be a lot more of them, especially around the holidays. All fall I was looking forward to some special announcement. And I'm surprised that didn't happen.”
Fils-Aimé believes that the years of direct competition between console makers – Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox – are over, and Xbox is now a third-party publisher that also produces its own consoles.
“I think the years of direct competition are over,” he added. “Since most of Xbox's business now is in publishing, they are by definition a large third-party publisher that also produces some hardware. From this point of view, they no longer compete directly with Xbox. PlayStation business.
“What they really need is outside support. Sony to ensure Microsoft software reaches the largest audience. And as I said earlier, I think it would be in their best interest to find ways for Xbox software other than Mining craftto get on Nintendo platform. So, from this point of view, direct war is over.
“But, on the other hand, gamers have limited budgets. You have to win for every dollar you spend, you have to win for every minute you spend in the game. And that's why there will always be war. It may be hidden under the surface, but there will always be a battle for attention and for thought share.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella last month stated that Xbox will continue to release games on as many platforms as possible.
“We're going to be everywhere, on every platform,” Nadella said at the time. “So we want to make sure, whether it's consoles, PC, mobile, cloud gaming or TV. We just want to make sure the game is enjoyed by gamers around the world.”
Xbox has released Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch 2 and is coming soon Indiana Jones and the Big Circle next year on the console.
