Xbox head - Nintendo relationship is "incredibly strong", "would love" to bring Achievements to Minecraft on Switch

Coming from Xbox head Phil Spencer when asked if players can earn Achievements...

"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."
