Nintendo Congratulates Microsoft on Xbox's 15th Anniversary

@PrpleTrtleBuBum: They dont do it anymore because it doesnt make sense anymore. Back in the day it was dog eat dog and the companies were ran by Ceos who were concerned with pissing contests. It no longer has context or meaning in todays market. Only the fanboys still carry it on to make themselves feel good about the piece of plastic and circuits they bought and the corporation theyre a fan of.

@Atzenkiller: Did you hear a WWWWOOOOSSSHHHHHH sound by chance?

@Atzenkiller: I'm pretty sure they're celebrating the anniversary of Microsoft getting into the console market (something Nintendo shouldn't be happy about LOL)

@swavo13: Because you have read it and are commenting on it online.

You, personally, have justified its existence as an 'article'.

@swavo13: Because Eddie Makuch says so! Never question the man, he knows what he's doing around here, posting news whatever it is :P

@consolehaven: Spencer is a class act. I've always liked the guy though I don't necessarily agree with his ideas. He's honest, smart, and respects the competition; something which his predecessors didn't do.

@davillain-: You should have stated "majority of the fan base"

Not everyone is like that_

@davillain-: The thing about people is that there are always more young, dumb ones on the way.

@davillain-: That's because a lot of them actually are bratty 10 year olds. The more vocal of your stupid camp (and it is stupid to base your identity on a piece of consumer electronics), the more likely you're a dumb kid trying to prove something.

@inkman66: Lame joke dude. If Nintendo went third-party companies would be throwing money at them for exclusive's, like when Kojima left Konami.

@GatzbyIGN: In terms of sales, Nintendo owned the previous generation.

@tom_cat_01: Perceived failures get killed off faster, look at the Wii U that's about 4 years.

@tom_cat_01: The 360 was 4 years after, but support for the original Xbox continued for at least two years. The Xbox 360 actually had a 7 year life span before Xbox1 which was planned and made official, but I never believed it. Funny thing, there is a clear evolution in graphics from the first year all the way to the last on both Xbox 360 and PS3. Having a mid cycle refresh is smart, in my opinion. Not having exclusives doesn't mean games won't take advantage of its horsepower. There will be better graphical fidelity, and more effects as well as better resolution. The only criteria is that the games can't play better / give an advantage to Scorpio owners in terms of frame rate. So, there is lots and lots of room for Devs to play with, especially in terms of artistic vision.

@tom_cat_01: technicaly the pro is the ps5. we just wont get to see any games that show off its power because its being forced to run at the same speed as the ps4. if you get me. no exclusives.

@louixiii: Microsoft has published games on Nintendo platforms before.
