Xbox boss would love for Minecraft Switch to have achievements, relationship with Nintendo is “incredibly strong”

This information comes from Xbox boss Phil Spencer…
“I don’t know yet. I’m guessing no. And this is a collaborative relationship between Nintendo and I; they don’t have Achievements on their platform. If they want us to, I would love to be able to do it… The relationship with Nintendo is incredibly strong. We obviously did the Mario mash-up pack into Minecraft; that doesn’t happen that often.”

This information comes from Xbox boss Phil Spencer…
“We use Xbox Live as the way to make sure we know who our players are, controls around parental controls and other things that we put into our platform are there. And as you’re buying things in Minecraft, you want to make sure you have them available on other platforms, so we have to know who you are. If you have a realm that you’ve created on the PC and you want to get to it on the Switch, we have to have an identity system and we just use Xbox Live.”

This information comes from a PressFire interview with Mojang CEO Jonas Märtensson…
We’re tying everything together with Xbox Live. So you log in with Xbox Live …
Even on Switch?
Yes. (Laughs) That’s pretty unique as well! But everyone that’s in on this, all the platform holders, have been pretty pragmatic and understanding of that what we’re trying to do is create a good experience for the players. We needed a good system to connect everyone, and Xbox Live is a good system.
