Why? game rated 59/64% on metacritic, it's meant to be as dull as dishwater is going to be ported onto a platform where the other offerings in the same Genre include Yooka and Mario Ody? Imagine how well something like Halo would do on the platform instead where there are far less competition for a game of its type on there. Very strange choice, would be like if Sony announced they were going to move a game onto the Xbox... and picked a FPS
Why would MS need to bring there high selling flagship title to the Switch?
would be a way to sell it in Japan, There was plans to bring it to the DS for this reason.
Japanese dont like products outside of Japan. Its a cultural choice not a quality choice. There are some exceptions like iPhones but majority of anything made in the US doesnt set the country on fire unless its owned be a Japanese brand. Halo wont do well in Japan and it doesnt need Japan to sell high figures.
Metacritic doesn't mean anything
Other than Minecraft, it's hard to imagine Microsoft publishing a game for a rival system but it's certainly possible.
MS dont see Nintendo as rivils, the audiences are almost completely different.
It wouldn't surprise me at this point. Microsoft seems to be interested and changing the thinking on exclusivity. Save us actively and eliminated Xbox exclusivity already, by putting everything on PC. They have their largest software franchise on all platforms right now, in Minecraft. So, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find them putting their properties all over the place.
Sorry about the typos there. But, I think you can get the point - MS doesn't seem very concerned about exclusivity these days.
Microsoft is bringing their games to the Windows Store, not the PC in general. They still care about exclusivity but they have 2 platforms now.

Its true, however they look at the best possible scenario rather than giving everything away. The Live eco system is there focus now. Games tbat undersell seem to get released on other platforms. Thats where the money is.
That's a good point. If a game doesn't sell well enough to break even, it makes sense to bring it to other systems to try to recoup the losses.
Theres a reason why MS are a flithy rich powerhouse. They have some of the best software and buisness men in the world and they know how to make money.
True, whereas Japanese companies like Sony and Nintendo seem to be much more rigid and traditional about these kinds of things.
Is the Lucky's Tale IP owned by Microsoft?
It doesn't really say, only says MS have published. Its likely they brought the IP
The first game was self-published by Playful for the Rift, so there's a good chance they still own the IP and are publishing it on the Switch.
