======================================================================

Xboxs chief financial officer, Tim Stuart, has been speaking about the 
companys future goals, including its "mission" to eventually bring its 
subscription service, Xbox Game Pass , to every screen that can play games. 
That includes devices from rival companies, like the Nintendo Switch and 
PlayStation. 

According to GameSpot , Stuart mentioned this while speaking at the Wells 
Fargo TMT Summit this week. Acknowledging that its a bit of a change of 
strategy from what the company has done before, he said: Not announcing 
anything broadly here, but our mission is to bring our first-party 
experiences [and] our subscription services to every screen that can play 
games. 

That means smart TVs, that means mobile devices, that means what we would 
have thought of as competitors in the past like PlayStation and Nintendo." 

Xbox hasnt previously been shy about discussing expanding onto the Nintendo 
Switch. Last year, it was confirmed by the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil 
Spencer, that Microsoft has entered into a 10-year commitment to bring Call 
of Duty to Nintendo following the acquisition of Activision. He also said 
that Microsoft is committed to helping bring more games to more people  
however they choose to play. 

Furthermore, in October this year, Spencer reiterated that he wants Call of 
Duty players on PlayStation - and in the future, on Nintendo - to feel 100% 
part of the community. At the same time, he claimed that following the 
Activision acquisition, parity across all platforms will apply to future Call 
of Duty launches and content. 

Back to Stuarts latest statement though, and its worth noting that he 
specifically stated that he was not announcing anything broadly, so theres no 
guarantee that Xboxs ideal plans will come to fruition.
