Maybe it's weird, but this is always one of my favorite parts of "E3" and each year I always look forward to this interview. It's nice to strip away the marketing and just listen to a couple of chill guys who love games talking about lots of game stuff. Thanks Giant Bomb and Phil Spencer :)
YES ! A much as the other interviewees of the 3 nites are interesting or funny, this is always the most interesting interview of the bunch. I wish the other two bigs had the same openness, but who am I kidding. We'd sooner see a new F-zero before someone like this at Nintendo.
Man, it’s literally my favorite thing about E3 other than the conferences. But I really wish they could do more interviews with Phil through out the year. I could listen to them for hours if I could.
@@MilkyHazard no just some insight to one of the most influential person in the industry right now, people love him just like people love Reggie from Nintendo and Gabe from steam. Exclusive is not his fault it's the fault of a person were handling before him, there was a backslash and Xbox lost all their exclusives. It's clearly not his fault, they are clearly working on it.
By all appearances, he looks like a great guy. But he has to be Pro-Gamer as possible; the previous Executive regime f*cked Xbox into the ground from where the 360 left them in the previous console cycle. Video games are on the cusp of another major shift in the market towards service providers and market place eco systems. Microsoft needs to bolster their user base anyway they can, to drive up their user counts, because Sony / Playstation and Nintendo both beat MS / Xbox this console generation.
Sure is man he's the reason I purchased an Xbox one console, the launch was terrible almost made me quit gamming because I was so invested in the Xbox brand, the online always and the other regulations the console had were terrible. Glad Phil turned the studio around
Honestly think Phil is one of the best people in the industry. I'm no Xbox fanboy but he gives me hope for the future of their platform, and it shows in the work he's been doing the past couple of years.
@Phil Mike Hunt I would call myself a Sony and Nintendo fanboy and don't own an Xbox but I think Phil is great and I truly respect the man. Someone already called you an idiot and said you were wrong, but I'll do it again. You're an idiot and wrong.pv. tt
@Phil Mike Hunt Well he didn't start leading Xbox until 2014, so I'm not sure what he would have even been talking about unless it was something small or unimportant, however, I do recall seeing him at conferences since 2011 so it's possible he's been lying to our faces since 2013. I feel like I know about a lot about the man and Xbox but if he is such a profound liar you should be able to tell me some of his most egregious untrue claims. Please enlighten me!
As far as I’m concerned, in the gaming world..Phil is an absolute global treasure. I hope he never leaves Xbox. He’s a legend. And while I’m here, god bless GB. Been watching you guys for years. Still the best.
This is such a fascinating conversation, i'm so impressed with how good jeff's questions were, and how phil answered everything he could so openly. I wish this sort of thing was more common in games media
SO WHY DID HE MAKE US GO 4 YEARS WITH NO NEW EXCLUSIVE AAA IPs? PHIL SINGLE HANDEDLY KILLED XBOX. 6TFLOPS FOR FUCCIN CARTOONS AND 3RD PARTY. FUCC PHIL.
Jay Henny you don't pay attention. The checkbook opened up 2 years ago. You want a bunch of 2 year developed games??. No. None of Sony's AAA games were built in 2 years. Be patient, if you can't then just play whatever floats your boat.
Jay Henny he had to fix the clusterfuck that was the Xbox one launch, and he did it. They brought all those studios for a reason, and yeah waiting sucks but hopefully it'll be worth the wait. I know it's easy to look at all the amazing Sony exclusives but they weren't built overnight, they had the advantage of having a clear vision for the PS4 and they delivered on that vision. Hopefully Xbox has a clear vision for Scarlett and it'll be a lot better than the Xbox one has been this generation.
Jeff and Phil talking shop about games and the industry has become my favorite thing about E3, and being a Nintendo/PC gamer has never been better. The future of Xbox shines bright with Phil at the wheel.
I'm on here clicking everyone's like button because I feel the same way about Phil Spencer for so many years. I had a great time at the briefing this year. Thank you Phil Spencer and thank you Giant Bomb for having such a great relationship with this man. Looking forward to the future for XBOX.
Kudos to Phil Spencer for being a gamer and not forgetting about Phantasy Star’s legacy on Xbox. It truly is surreal to so PSO2 finally coming to the west and we owe that to Phil for making this happen.
Don was the worst, and also the guys who was the head of $ for Microsoft. Who gave like nothing to Xbox, because he hating game. So glad he left 2 years ago.

It speaks to how much Microsoft as a company (not just Xbox) has transformed in the last decade. After the 360 became successful, very cold/business minded, which is how Mattrick got the job. Totally different company today, from the CEO on down.
@Jeff V 100% agree. It's a game changing service for so many different audiences. People who can't afford $60 games get access to everything Xbox puts out, at the same time as everyone else. People like myself get to play games like We Happy Few/Halo Wars 2/etc that I probably would've never tried otherwise. It's a powerful secondary revenue stream for game makers, and it's a powerful discoverability tool for players. Not to mention, now on PC, and coming to Switch. Microsoft is a stone throw away from being in a Netflix like position.
I love this Phil Spencer interview piece every year with Giant Bomb. Phil always seems like a super cool dude and sells a pretty cool vision for the future of Xbox (IMO).
"We're not building Scarlett to not be the best console. Like, I wanna be #1, I'm as competitive as anybody. But that doesn't mean I think I need somebody else to somehow suffer from a business standpoint; I'd rather be #1 because somebody else sold one fewer unit than I did but we both sold more than we ever have before, because I think that just shows that the industry continues to grow and that feels like a much better focus for us as an industry than 'I need to push you down in order to push me up'. I still don't see it [crossplay] as a fight. The biggest fight is, can we create things that people love." - Phil Spencer You're breathtaking. No YOU'RE breathtaking.
Yes and no to some extent. He works for Microsoft one of THE largest companies on the planet. With the direction of their streaming service they have the means to buy up major companies etc. In a way it's scary. Them amazon and google fighting for studios to have on their streaming services!
Phil's sit-down with Jeff is one of my annual highlights of Giant Bomb's E3 coverage, along with Jeff and Game Informer's Andy McNamara getting together to reminisce about just how relatively old they are.
Seriously, one of the greatest interviewers in the business paired with one of the more genuine gaming heads in the industry always delivers my highlight of post E3 madness!
"Let's Grill Phil" I really enjoy his couch segment every year, he comes across much more charismatic in these interviews than he does reading a teleprompter on stage. Seems like he's a good person to have running the ship at Xbox.
I’m looking back on this in 2020 during the Covid pandemic and I am sad that E3 isn’t going to happen. I hope we get to see an Interview like this again in 2020.
Great questions by Jeff, and honest, open answers by Phil. The fact that everything is clear with streaming and local storage ... phenomenal interview!!
So hard to trust Microsoft when it comes to PC due to there history. But man, being able to play Metro Exodus on Game Pass PC sold me. Not only that, I have not had a real need to play my Xbox One X in awhile. After trying game pass on PC, I upgraded to Game Pass Ultimate. This breathe new life into my One X. Such a great value. Also, I really like listening to Phil speak. He comes off genuine.
You can tell Phil loves and respects both Jeff and these interviews. It's just two guys in the industry chatting and talking about the what's what of gaming.
Not an XBOX owner but a PC player here. I LOVE what Phil said about cloud gaming not being replacement for gaming but rather an extra option that you might, but don't have to use. I like to own my games and play them on my gaming PC so hearing that from head of Xbox is sooooo good.
I feel the same way about Game Pass. I want to own my stuff. Game Pass has become a supplemental way for me to try stuff I wouldn't buy/don't know if I would want to own, and if I enjoy, can buy it, with a 20% discount. They've don't a masterful job giving people options.
I got hooked on these back in e3 2016 when Phil was on the show discussing project Scorpio "X-box one x" I love hearing about the company's future plans and how they want to improve the consoles!
Was watching the Nintendo press conference talk over but saw this interview was uploaded! Paused Nintendo to watch the Phil Spencer. So look forward to this every year!
I have never owned a Microsoft console, yet, I found this conversation to be so fascinating. What a great guest Phil is! I love hearing these guys talk about where things are going in such a candid way.
Phil is one it the main reasons I have stood by Xbox and now why I am enjoying Xbox more than ever. Thanks Phil hope you stick around for a good while.
This is legit one of, if not the most interesting part of every E3 for me. Jeff is an incredible host, and Phil gives so much interesting information/perspective. As always, great work!
Such a great interview, always is every year, its ine of the biggest Highlights at E3, talking long form with the head of Xbox.

The future is brighter for the Xbox brand and there's so much more to go. We need quality games like what Nintendo and PlayStation are offering. The future will be amazing in this industry
Incredible guy and leader. I have always been a PS guy, but ever since this guy took the helm, the XBOX has been on an incredible trajectory. I am now a proud subscriber to game pass, and I love it. Keep up the good work Phil.
Man i had a Xbox x and didn't care hole loat but now this interview showed me that Phil is on right path for future of Xbox gonna get new one for sure!
I think even though this is uploaded and streamed for free on YT, this interview is a major reason why I keep my Giant Bomb Subscription alive year to year.
I seriously need to re-up mine. I feel guilty when I remember that I haven't in sometime. This e3 coverage + interviews and the GB video podcast on YT it's so worth the cost imo.
zyex666 I don’t even watch anything on the site or participate at all. Pretty much just listen to the podcasts, GOTY, and E3 coverage and I figure I’d do my part to keep those going.
I'll agree the exclusives have been a little light this gen but with all the new investments by MS and the studios working on stuff, next gen should be a lot better as far as quantity and quality goes.
@@KizaruB That stuff takes time. He had to get the checkbook opened first, then start making moves. Once he got those studios, then development can take anywhere from 2-5 years depending on the quality of the title. Something like Fable or Halo take many years while something smaller that would just be brushed aside as "Xbox still has no games," might take 2-3 years.
Two years later after this interview, Xbox now owns Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, Spyro, Crash, Elder Scroll, Fallout, Starfield, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Evil Within, Tony Hawk, StarCraft and Warcraft.
I'm sure I'm the first to post this but it's always great seeing this interview each year. Glad Phil is willing to come on and be so (seemingly) candid each year. Would love to see a series at GDC or something each year with Jeff doing relaxed interviews like this.
I absolutely love Phil Spencer, what he does & has done for Xbox . & what Microsoft & Phil do in continuing to support the Gaming community as whole on all platforms. As well as Microsoft continually driving the the future of gaming .
Listening to the PSO2 stuff is great, hopefully it means a UK/EU release sooner rather than later as it’s NA only so far :-(. Also PSO Ep1&2 on BC would be epic!
Phil Spencer is not just the face of Xbox these days but is also becoming the new face of MS... he is so grounded and down to earth in this interview...
back compat = delivered smoother xbox experience = delivered tons of useful features = delivered People complained about the xbox being underpowered = delivered Now people want the games and their clearly gunning for it.
Wonderful talk. Very bold with his speech. One thing I like is people may not believe in his vision but you can't deny that he believes in it. It's one thing to listen to someone who try's to get you to believe something they themselves don't believe. But to say " that Phil Spencer is so full of it, I don't believe anything he says, but one thing is for sure is he believes it!" ...and for that I respect him.
Mr Spencer is one of the few people within the industry who displays an genuine level of openness, you guys must have a good "bond" cause I dont think I have seen him this open and relaxed before. Just as the lads from CDPR, he doesnt sound, look and feel like the stereotypical corporate suit. Its impressive how he turned that ship around, but also has a real vision for what to come. Ive got the feelings he truelly believes in revolution and evolution.
Yeah, i think my next gen console is gonna be Scarlet because of this one man. Such an awesome and genuine dude. Hope he gets on the podcast once in a while.
My Xbox One has definitely taken a backseat to my PS4 and Switch this "generation", but the path MS seem to be taking and the games on show is beginning to win me over. I'll likely have every console next gen too, but I do like to mix it up and I will always go where I feel like I have more freedom with my games. Xbox has finally reached a place where I don't know what console I will by first next gen and that's exciting. I enjoy these interviews with Phil Spencer every year. He's a man who seems to balance his business speak with a sincere gamer-attitude and I appreciate that in a company lead.
NEONswift so what do you play when those single player one done games are well done .....so I guess you have a base Xbox one because if you had an X that PlayStation would be catching dust because you would be playing all the multiplats on the X ....
Always great having Phil on the show. Dude is a class act and he's essentially running the Xbox brand which makes me even happier since hes a true gamer. Also please bring back Banjo. His appearance in Smash was well done but now its time for a game
I can listen to Phil Spencer talk for hours, he just seems like such a great dude
Couldn't agree more. Very happy he has been the one leading the charge so to speak. Great things are happening now and coming for Xbox in the future.
Very honest person
So true! He is just damn awesome!
That's funny, because I could eat a peach for hours

The marketing is still there but it feels like he genuinely believes the message
Waiting for Phil Spencer Giant Bomb's interview even before e3 started.
One of my favourite events of the GB coverage! Phil's great. Second only to the old Justin Mcelroy round up of Sherlock Holmes games.
You and me both man. It's always so insightful.

zyex666 I don’t even watch anything on the site or participate at all. Pretty much just listen to the podcasts, GOTY, and E3 coverage and I figure I’d do my part to keep those going.
Phil Spencer is such a good dude it seems like. I am more of a Sony fanboy, but i freaking love this guy.
And Thank You a lot for making the Darkness 2007 backwards compat! It's a hidden gem and one of best 360 games
Just out of the blue, but I really appreciate the great sound quality 👌 The voices are nicely compressed and clear ❤️
Extremely happy that Phil Spencer is in charge of Xbox. Can't wait to see more on project scarlett, day 1 buy for me.

Glad he’s in charge of the brand. Don’t like how the exclusives have worked under his and his predecessors‘ s leadership so far however.
I'll agree the exclusives have been a little light this gen but with all the new investments by MS and the studios working on stuff, next gen should be a lot better as far as quantity and quality goes.
@@KizaruB That stuff takes time. He had to get the checkbook opened first, then start making moves. Once he got those studios, then development can take anywhere from 2-5 years depending on the quality of the title. Something like Fable or Halo take many years while something smaller that would just be brushed aside as "Xbox still has no games," might take 2-3 years.
Got to love Phil
Two years later after this interview, Xbox now owns Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, Spyro, Crash, Elder Scroll, Fallout, Starfield, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Evil Within, Tony Hawk, StarCraft and Warcraft.
I'm sure I'm the first to post this but it's always great seeing this interview each year. Glad Phil is willing to come on and be so (seemingly) candid each year. Would love to see a series at GDC or something each year with Jeff doing relaxed interviews like this.
What I love about Phil is that he truly seems to want to better the industry, and not just make money.
Thank you, thank you Phil for helping to get PSO2 out to the states. Been waiting for this game for years!
Some may not like him, but Phil is so friendly and insightful. Like how candid he is.
Is it weird that at the same time I also don’t like being candid because it ruins the surprise? Maybe it’s just me.
This is my absolute favorite thing about E3 I love both Jeff & Phil! 💚
I absolutely love Phil Spencer, what he does & has done for Xbox . & what Microsoft & Phil do in continuing to support the Gaming community as whole on all platforms. As well as Microsoft continually driving the the future of gaming .
Phil Spencer is the best! Thank you guys
Listening to the PSO2 stuff is great, hopefully it means a UK/EU release sooner rather than later as it’s NA only so far :-(. Also PSO Ep1&2 on BC would be epic!
Phil Spencer is not just the face of Xbox these days but is also becoming the new face of MS... he is so grounded and down to earth in this interview...
This video is stellar. The interview done by Jeff and the interaction with Phil is excellent. Thank your!
Forget Master Chief, Phil is the biggest gun Xbox has in its arsenal. They should be thankful.
They should make a game where you play as Phil Spencer bringing diplomatic peace to the universe.
I'm not a fan of X-BOX but there's a real feeling of trust that I get from Phil Spencer.
that feeling of trust is what a good con man and liar gives you.
back compat = delivered
smoother xbox experience = delivered
tons of useful features = delivered
People complained about the xbox being underpowered = delivered

@@whothou have fun with features ill play real AAA exclusive ips on the play station...enjoy your feature experience...lmao.
@@hvdiv17 That's why they are Investing in studios not to make Mac and cheese
@@frequencyatom7052 B rated studios...lmao,.
A Phil & Keanu buddy cop game would melt the internet.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!
Giant Bomb - you did it again. Excellent interview - kudos.
Always love these talks. Phil seems like a good dude.
He seems like a bad CEO!
@@blackrosepanther said no one ever.
Wonderful talk. Very bold with his speech. One thing I like is people may not believe in his vision but you can't deny that he believes in it. It's one thing to listen to someone who try's to get you to believe something they themselves don't believe. But to say " that Phil Spencer is so full of it, I don't believe anything he says, but one thing is for sure is he believes it!" ...and for that I respect him.
Phil Spencer is awesome. We love you Phil
Mr Spencer is one of the few people within the industry who displays an genuine level of openness, you guys must have a good "bond" cause I dont think I have seen him this open and relaxed before. Just as the lads from CDPR, he doesnt sound, look and feel like the stereotypical corporate suit. Its impressive how he turned that ship around, but also has a real vision for what to come. Ive got the feelings he truelly believes in revolution and evolution.
I love how this guy is being honest, every time he answers questions.
Yeah, i think my next gen console is gonna be Scarlet because of this one man. Such an awesome and genuine dude. Hope he gets on the podcast once in a while.
My Xbox One has definitely taken a backseat to my PS4 and Switch this "generation", but the path MS seem to be taking and the games on show is beginning to win me over. I'll likely have every console next gen too, but I do like to mix it up and I will always go where I feel like I have more freedom with my games. Xbox has finally reached a place where I don't know what console I will by first next gen and that's exciting. I enjoy these interviews with Phil Spencer every year. He's a man who seems to balance his business speak with a sincere gamer-attitude and I appreciate that in a company lead.
NEONswift so what do you play when those single player one done games are well done .....so I guess you have a base Xbox one because if you had an X that PlayStation would be catching dust because you would be playing all the multiplats on the X ....
How is it that I feel comfortable listening to this.....long time coming
yes! been waiting for this
Always one of the best parts of E3. The difference between Phil and Don Mattrick is night and day. Glad he's running the show now.
Bringing PSO2 to the Xbox is everything. Thanks Phil and Sega. Legends.
Always great having Phil on the show. Dude is a class act and he's essentially running the Xbox brand which makes me even happier since hes a true gamer. Also please bring back Banjo. His appearance in Smash was well done but now its time for a game
