Phil Spencer: "Minecraft is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch"

You are underestimating GAF.
Quoting hoping this will stop the insanity, Phil shared a Verge article stating that. Not that it would have made big difference imo. He has praised Nintendo a lot.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. While I don't see eye to eye with Miyamoto on this, you can definitely see how some of the design elements of Super Mario RPG are influenced by Miyamoto and his viewpoint on RPGS.

After being massively disappointed by Yooka-Laylee, I don't think I'd want a Banjo Threeie. I wanna leave my good memories with my nostalgia where it belongs
Hahaha
I think they could find someone to do it justice. Maybe they can give it to Playtonic. ho ho ho

Wut?
Miyamoto is loved here, sure we take the piss but still love the guy.
Phil just comes across as a smug prick with that forced ass smile through gritted teeth he does all the time.
Phil Spencer could literally say the sky is blue, and there'd still be people in here argueing.
Blue? Like Playstation branding? Third party confirmed.
If you click the share button on the Verge website, this exact tweet will appear. Try yourself. He just shared an article.

Yep. This is the copy you get when clicking the Tweet button on the article.
Either way, he didn't disagree

Man I would love to see Banjo and Kazooie in Mario Kart, along with a themed stage.
What a mess.
First of all, regardless of whether sharing the article automatically copies the title, Phil is very much saying/agreeing that the Switch is perfect for Minecraft.
Second of all, yes he is a salesman repping his product, but it is still interesting to me to see the head of Xbox directly (or indirectly) repping the hot new console of a competitor.
My biggest takeaway is Phil must have balls of steel or he has very good job security because he never seems scared to show support for Sony and Nintendo. Whoever he answers to must have a lot of confidence in his ability to grow the Xbox brand because he breaks a lot of the traditional rules for developing brand identity in the console space
Complimenting the competition, porting owned IPs to competitors consoles, repping games like Uncharted 4 and Horizon on Twitter, talking in interviews about owning and playing non Microsoft consoles, talking in interviews about moving away from exclusivity.. these are all very different choices for a head of a brand to make. You would (probably) not see Reggie doing many of the things on this list, not that there's nothing wrong with that.
Whether you dislike Phil, or Microsoft, or the Switch, or everybody, you've got to admit... Phil Spencer is interesting.

There is no love or hate. There is no emotion, only financial business decisions.
Fucking Phil Spencer changed her crackers for a toast
How in the hell are you so sure of what's on her toast?
EDIT: Or even what she's drinking?
Did he take a shit and set it on fire outside of your door or something?
My lawd.

Dude. The print has white and black.
Nobody drinks tea out of that cup.
(Propper beverage while having toast)
If the glass was white it would be milk.
If the top of the glass was filled with dots it was soda.
It is clear so it must me water.
What else do you put on a toast? Besides butter and marmelade?

Dude hit the share button on the article. Isn't exactly the same thing as saying it himself.
Also, does Minecraft hace co op? I could see it being a good Switch game if it does

Spencer should just give up and go full evil so everyone can hate him for an actual reason other than his stupid face.
With those lips and teeth.
So stupid.
Also I wish MC was $20 on switch...but I'll give in and buy it at $30 at some point to play with my niece.
It could be juice though... none of your conditions account for juice.

yes remove squiggly line in glass
squiggly line hints that the so called beverage is see through
which plenty of juice drinks are... could just be diluted from a solution. the picture can't portray gradients.

if you look close at the book you can clearly see gradients
Nah, that's just jpg compression.

I think you are mistaken this is jpg compression.
she the strange wiggle rainbow like artifacts around this black font?
If you look closely in the right corner on the upper book you can see they are using some kind of gradient.
and it is by fact no compression artifact AT ALL.
If the glass on the table contained juice they could have used gradients,
So this girl was drinking water and that makes her a stupid bitch.
Reminds of a tumblr post I saw once

What!? No...
That shit's everywhere on the image (as would be expected, considering the entire image is compressed), not just in the book's corner. Even in the cropped section you provided you can see almost the exact same thing on the outside where the book meets her dress. Everything in the image is either black, white or pink with no subtlety in between. She could be drinking a whole bunch of different things for all we know.
Plus, I've ignored the whole "butter and marmalade" thing only because it seems that any suggestion otherwise would be likely to piss you off royally.

Topic went full circle, now branched off to a different multiverse where we talk about what she is really drinking and whether or not she has butter/marmalade on her toast that is/isn't a cracker.

I agree with Phil (or rather his own agreeing with the verge) since it seems like best way to play it portable.
So this is what happens when combine an xbox thread shit show with a switches. I would say I'm surprised but I'm not. Still a sight to behold.

I agree as well. I'm not sure why so many people have taken offense to it, like at all.
