Microsoft has had a pretty good relationship over the past couple of years. It’s led to characters such as Banjo & Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, not to mention the Ori games on Switch.
In an interview with Kotaku, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that he’s had good conversations with Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa and Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser. He also mentioned the following about the relationship between the two companies:

Super Mario 3D All-Stars has sixth-biggest launch month physical dollar sales of any Nintendo-published title in U.S. history
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Mario 3D All-Stars narrowly missed out on the top spot as the best-selling release of September in the United States. We now have more news from this month’s NPD report that gives an even greater idea of its impressive debut.
The launch month physical dollar sales for Super Mario 3D All-Stars rank as the sixth biggest for a Nintendo-published title in U.S. history. Additionally, it generated the second-highest launch month physical dollar sales of any 2020 release – only Animal Crossing: New Horizons was bigger. We’ll also mention that Super Mario 3D All-Stars is already the tenth best-selling game of 2020 year-to-date.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars launched in mid-September, so NPD’s report doesn’t account for a full month – making the game’s strong start even more meaningful.
