I absolutely despise the tribalism in gaming culture over PlayStation versus Xbox (or PC for that matter). There was a time when Xbox was new and PS had a near 10-year head start where the argument could be made that Xbox is an inferior product, but 20 years later the gap has closed. Xbox has matured into a respectable platform with compelling reasons to buy in. Both are solid platforms.
I absolutely agree , I'd just wrote my comment saying the same thing before seeing your & I could agree more & that's one thing among many that phil Spencer is working on trying to change. I've said this alot XBOX is the future of gaming & phil Spencer as well as the CEO have definitely fast tracked that.
@@GoTeamScotch It just feels...weird. Y'know what I mean? I feel like the business model of which hardware to buy has been so important for so long that getting to this point where xcloud is going to let ANYBODY play xbox games and the idea of exclusivity is gone and the incentive of buying an xbox is kind of gone...it's like...idk how to feel. What's the point of buying a series x if I can just play series x games on my xbox one??? On my laptop? I can go buy a ps5 cuz I want the exclusives and then just get game pass to play Halo Infinite. And that's fine because MS is getting money anyway. Series x could have crappy sales and they would still make just as much money as Sony. And as a gamer...I don't have to choose anymore. Phil Spencer has effectively created peace in the console wars in order to fight the larger war on the horizon between Stadia and such. And if you have supported xbox for so long it's like wtf was the point? They could bring back Scalebound and everyone would be super thrilled but xbox supporters can't rub it in anyone's face lol. Meanwhile, Horizon Forbidden West comes out and playstation fanboys just can't resist rubbing in our faces. It's like great, this wasn't peace, this just gave tribalism all the ammo.
@@Radb707 You're kind of bringing back that tribalism with your "what's the point of buying an Xbox anymore". Xcloud for console will only be on Xbox, and Windows gamers can benefit as well. So if you want to play an Xbox game on the TV screen and you aren't invested in PC gaming you get an Xbox.
Funny, that quote holds no water after reading the Quotes from Him through FTC investigation on the Buyout of ABK Deal. He wants Playstation to be what Nintendo is now, which would make them not a direct competitor to Xbox anymore, lol. Nintendo doesn't reinvest their money like Playstation does in VR, PSN, new studios, hardware like pro controllers ect. Snake oil sales man comes to mind..,.....
Paulo Vargas he’s speaking to Phil Spencer as a life long gamer while Phil is pitching the idea of Xbox being a third party rather than a first party whose job it is to compete for your dollar.
This interviewer is awful. I get the vibe that he thinks he's asking "bold questions", but his body language, tone, timing, and delivery all point to him just being disrespectful.
BrewNCode Totally agree with you. This guy interviewing Phil is so rude and seems to be trying to create unnecessary tension. I truly believe that Phil and the team are gonna knock it out of the park next generation.
I have to say when Microsoft put Phil Spencer in charge of gaming it was a master stroke. I find him very smart and very calm, he knows what he is talking about and that self confidence is contagious.. Microsoft is in great hands.
@@nathan_drake1237 I own both mate, the way I see it if you want single player gamers go ps, if you want backwards compatibility and gears, forza etc go xbox.
@The_ b1zznotch It's not what he's really saying though, When he says console are here to stay I believe that. And btw the reason behind cloud gaming is not just microsoft. It's the quote on quote "FUTURE" that every platformer keep talking about like Sony and Nintendo. They know that's the future going forward so...Not saying it will be.....but it just might be the last console generation as we know it. But please, Don't quote me on it.
@The_ b1zznotch I know what your talking about, and I won't be surprised either. But honestly let's just see how next-generation plays out in order for us to get the full effect on these three companies. It's going to be very interesting. But one more thing, Isn't Sony a Software company too, I know they have separate divisions but there not a hardware company either i believe. Including since their playstation division is what's saving Sony ass for all these years??
That was a adversarial interview but Phill still managed to answer without slinging mud. I appreciate that. He offered his view on the industry and laid it out pretty clearly that what hyper fans think the industry is, is far from reality.
What is with the interviewer? He's so blah and condescending. Looks like he just rolled out of bed and does not want to be there. Phil was regular ol' Phil, still a good interview from him.
This interviewer asked all the right questions, and I commend him for not sugarcoating and beating around the bush in regard to the harsh reality of the Xbox brand’s perception and success this generation with the Xbox One overall. However, he’s got a very condescending manner of speaking and presenting his questions. Almost like there’s an entitled and unapologetically arrogant air about him. Very off putting and experience breaking in what would have otherwise been a really great interview. Props to Phil for keeping it professional and very light.
@Jeff V that's what I'm talking about... they were struggling financially plus the lawsuit. With new console generation they could also optimise cryengine to work best on their hardware. It's wasted potential but I guess if it was possible they would do it. Maybe the lawsuit with Amazon is a barrier here...
Who is this guy interviewing Phil? He sid a fantastic job. He kept giving Phil the tough questions and kept him on his toes @Forbes Magazine start adding interviewer credits to your videos please!
@@tudor_trader I wasn't talking about the questions he asked (I mostly agree those were decent), but rather the way in which he asked those questions. Which was devoid of any kind of enthousiasm.
As someone who has owned all the consoles, I'd say that XBOX definitely has its challenges and needs to pump out some quality first party content to rival Sony's, but getting Phil in front of the players definitely helps such as how he handles an interview like this professionally and doesn't get drawn into mudslinging or letting the negative tone of the interviewer get him flustered. There is a passion for games in him that seems genuine and gives us gamers confidence in the brand for the long haul. Besides the XBOX One X, which made us all sit back and say, "Woah, Microsoft is serious about console gaming", I'd say that Phil himself is the next best thing that has helped the brand with the core gaming audience.
I have always bought both consoles , PS & XBOX .... fanboys are just that , BOYS! Gears Of War & God Of War , Halo & Uncharted , i enjoy the games....#Gameon !!
Why would they put the title Stadia competition? If he literally said he doesn't see Stadia as a competitor because they are focusing streaming in 2 different ways.
interviewer asking hard question or being harsh is actually a good thing and more professional...you don't want to pander to companies but check how they response under pressure, which Phill did great in that regard. stop attacking the interviewer... he's just doing he's job
Basically he is saying he doesn't care about Sony or Nintendo, in fact they are helping them, but they see their competence more like Amazon and Google
@@____uncompetative I don't know if you're being serious or just trolling for fun, subtleties of language are lost on the internet.

1st time checking out this channel. Dont really like this interviewer! He doesnt seem genuine, hes seems real short in his response / inquiries and it feels as though hes talking down to Phil.
And he didn't even dress up or try to look good for it either. Then he puts Phil down a bunch like you said. At one point calling their investing in servers and growing as a service rather than short term profit as something a start up would say. Like okay bro...what's your job again?
Phil is fantastic and transparent in all his interviews, which is why I respect him so much. And I'm a PlayStation fanboy. This interviewer btw seems pretty dead inside.
"Everyone was scared of stadia"? We knew it would die before it even hit the markets. Google does not have a good reputation when it comes to trying new things.
People say that, but I don't want to game on a PC. I want to play on a console on the television because I like that experience. If you like to game on PC sure, but if you like to game on consoles, then no.
That's the whole point. Microsoft doesn't care (well they do but not as much) they just want u to play their games on any service or device as long as ur playing those games that's their goal. It's called pro consumer.
He asked difficult questions, pressed for straight answers, kept the interviewee on track and kept the interviewee talking. He did a good job. An interviewer is not their to kiss the interviewee's arse.
@@stopthetories I don't think the questions were that difficult, they were answered pretty easily. And these questions were nothing Phil hasn't addressed to the public before besides maybe the stadia question. But That is a subjective point. The interviewer routinely cut Phil off, interrutped him, talked over him, made odd noises while Phil was speaking. These things I'd argue are less subjective than difficulty of questions and keeping the conversation on topic.
@@Anthony-zh2cp The interruptions were to stop Phil waffling. He did ask difficult question regarding the profitablility of Xbox (which Phil struggled to answer) and the lack of competitive spirit from Xbox.
This interview is amazing, Competition is good for gaming, I hope Phil understands that. Sony and Nintendo are not Phils buddy. They want to destroy Xbox in sales and see Phil lose his position.
Tekno I think he does. He did say they compete for time and money of each gamer. It just isn’t always in the traditional locations anymore. It’s not always on Xbox or PS4. Truth is, if you’re playing Minecraft on a PS4, MS is still winning, and that’s the point.

Todd Howard - "We don't think about where we listen to music, we just pick up any device and use it to start listening to music... it should be the same with video games"
Damn props to the interviewer he made Phil sweat and dodge so many questions if you watch Phil body language almost every question the interviewer made Phil sweat and reveal so stuff he obviously didn't mean to well done whoever's you are
It’s also a horribly misleading question and clearly edited answer. Phil has been clear on his role in leading to the Xbox One's initial failure. But since then he's risen from a general manager of their internal studios to directly reporting to the CEO of Microsoft.
Meanwhile all gamers want is great exclusive games making the purchace of Xbox one X worthwhile. Mine is gathering dust while my PS4 Pro is used daily, I wonder why?
It was a tought interview, but very clarifying. It's so much better than those other medias. I see media sites like gaming informer just putting the click bait title, instead of bringing the full content. It's completely out of reality. And sadly, Xbox fans falls in these traps without seeing it.
There are loads of other interviews that have asked the same questions. There really wasn't anything new said in this interview if you have been paying attention.
You can hire all these studios but console needs games for that platform to sell. Playstation and Nintendo has games but Xbox has what exactly...Another Gears, another Forza... Also i know what people will say about Playstation and Nintendo. But Sony has games coming exclusive to their console or first to PS4 such as: Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Medievil, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Concrete Genie, The Last of Us 2 and probably more in development. Nintendo has Breath of the Wild 2, Pokemon Sword and Shield, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Astral Chain, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and more. Xbox has Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Battletoads, Age of Empires II Definitive Edition with indies exclusive to Xbox but more if not all games are coming to PC so Xbox One the console has no exclusives that are strictly made for Xbox one. Nintendo and Sony has games strictly made for their consoles. I understand what Microsoft is trying to do but streaming games is not the future that will shape the industry, it will only hurt the industry. Now keep in mind, Nintendo is bringing games back as a remake or making sequels to games we been asking for a LONG time coming. So i think they get a small pass on the sequels that are being made. Sony has their 1st party studios already working on New IPs for PS5 and finishing up games that started on PS4.
As somebody who owns all consoles, I can definitely agree with the above. If I were only on Xbox, I'd be pretty disappointed in the 1st party output by Xbox, because it's literally just Halo, Gears, Forza when it comes to the bigger titles. I really hope that these newly acquired studios don't work on existing IP's and come up with their own ideas instead or at least very old IP's that haven't seen a title for quite a while. Ideally, we'd get a wide variety of game genres, while at the same time the games actually release in a state, where you don't have to wait months for meaningful content, like in the case of Sea of Thieves, which is now a much better game, but since the first impression wasn't that good, people already moved away.
Totally agree with you. Microsoft needs to really step their AAA output up because none of their plans will work greatly without some compelling new ips. The biggest issues Microsoft has now is time and hype.
Yeah, because the others interviewers just wanted to promote console wars and to have some material to promove clickbaits. These media doesn't make any real quality stuff these days.
There is a huge difference between growing gaming as a cash cow for your company and growing gaming as an entertainment medium with substance. You are continuously proving where your priorities lie.
I mean....their idea seemed like competition a year ago. Since then it's just been a mess. Any impressions I've read from people testing out xcloud say it's much better than Stadia.
The interview was informed which is the point of interviews. Other then that the profitability of xbox question/scene was awkward. I would say when the next gen hits next year, yes! Why? Well cause what xbox is offering it's consumers compare to sony and google. To me it seems like Xbox is giving you a combo of both and without VR lols
You may disagree, but since Phil took the leadership on Xbox, the industry just keep growing. Never leave us Phil, you are really unique and focus on us, the customers. PD. Since I choose the 360, then the One, gaming has been never so smooth and versatile
Jesus. This is the most annoying interviewer I’ve ever seen! Half of the time it’s like he’s testing him to see he answers the “correct” way! Wtf... Well done Phil, I would have lost my shit 😂
As a long time fan of the brand, pretty nice to get some statements like that admission about this last gen. Even with the efforts they put in to make the console something to be proud of after the initial announcement, I personally lost faith in the direction their established franchises had taken, and even originals like Recore launched with content promised at launch MIA for a year until it had a major update. At this point I only want Series X because they game they've talked it up for Backwards Compatibility means it's just marginally better than the Xbox One S I already own for playing games (graphics aren't a major selling point to me but I understand its importance). I dunno, interviewer kinda met what I wish I could say to Phil.
I remember enjoying Xbox 360 for early-access content for Call of Duty and Skyrim. Xbox Achievements system was instant. Remember when Xbox 360 and PS3 sales were so competitive and close? Remember when PSN was always down and took forever to load trophies online? Now PS4 gets early access for many multi-platform games, access to numerous AAA exclusives with solid narratives, trophies load instantly and are sorted with a Platinum trophy, and have DOUBLED console sales of Xbox One sales. Xbox One sales are hidden on wikis now. What has happened??? ...Phil Spencer happened. Making every exclusive available to every other platform defeats the purpose of owning an Xbox One. I understand he’s doing it for the gamers but Xbox loses money they could be gaining. That’s why Sony is destroying in sales and they don’t plan to stop (if it’s broken, don’t fix it). When was the last time Microsoft had a successful game or console with crazy sales? It’s constant God of War is the top exclusive, Spider-Man is the top-selling Superhero game and the fastest selling-exclusive, Persona 5 being the top JRPG in a long time. Outside of these platforms, Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console of all time. PC plays every multi-platform game better than Xbox because of superior frame rate+resolution AND you can hook up your Xbox One controller to it. Soon, the Halo Collection is going on PC. It renders the Xbox One useless. Definition of an Exclusive Game/Content: Having them one platform and consumers have no choice but to go to that one choice. Sales go up. Cause and effect. It’s simple logic. It’s the mindset of business. I agree that the interviewer was rude, but he was being brutally honest. Consider it constructive criticism. He mentioned how watching Game of Thrones being only watchable on HBO and nowhere else and that shows he’s hinting and reminding Spencer what an exclusive is and how it pulls people away from other choices. It’s called competition. Phil Spencer claims gaming will grow, sure and it’s cool that he’s being considerate for us gamers out there to utilize Play Anywhere+CrossPlay and give us GamePass. But Xbox as a brand isn’t growing (plus he is in denial and an Xbox fanboy would say otherwise). You need competition and freshness to grow (higher sales and new IPs). Stagnancy and repetitiveness won’t do that for you (more Halo, Gears, Forza). And that’s goes for everything in life, not just games.
How are any comments as you call it damage control. There is no damage that exists apart from in your own close minded thoughts and opinions. If you're holding up the wall then you're missing the point.
Phil getting annoyed with this guy trying to press on the topic of us vs. them in gaming. A mindset that needs to end.

He kind of reminds of the interview that was so rude to RDJ that Robert walked out the the interview early.
He asked difficult questions, pressed for straight answers, kept the interviewee on track and kept the interviewee talking. He did a good job. An interviewer is not their to kiss the interviewee's arse.
@@stopthetories I don't think the questions were that difficult, they were answered pretty easily. And these questions were nothing Phil hasn't addressed to the public before besides maybe the stadia question. But That is a subjective point. The interviewer routinely cut Phil off, interrutped him, talked over him, made odd noises while Phil was speaking. These things I'd argue are less subjective than difficulty of questions and keeping the conversation on topic.
@@Anthony-zh2cp The interruptions were to stop Phil waffling. He did ask difficult question regarding the profitablility of Xbox (which Phil struggled to answer) and the lack of competitive spirit from Xbox.
Best interview EVER!
This interview is amazing, Competition is good for gaming, I hope Phil understands that. Sony and Nintendo are not Phils buddy. They want to destroy Xbox in sales and see Phil lose his position.
Tekno I think he does. He did say they compete for time and money of each gamer. It just isn’t always in the traditional locations anymore. It’s not always on Xbox or PS4. Truth is, if you’re playing Minecraft on a PS4, MS is still winning, and that’s the point.
@@BrentLooyenga ms is always winning, they have windows, cant say the same for xbox brand.

"Phil Spencer on working with the gaming industry and competing with news media"
Todd Howard - "We don't think about where we listen to music, we just pick up any device and use it to start listening to music... it should be the same with video games"
Yeah but that's not gamer culture. We're not ready for peace.
Makes sense that he and Bethesda joined Xbox Game Studios... Because that's what xCloud is all about.
@@Radb707 Gaming should be about peace, It being a war is stupid
Learned so much.
I saw Phil walking today. Almost said something!
This guy wasn't having it with Phill's bs
And Phil wasn't having it either
yup.
Phil is such a gentlemen, didn't lower himself at this prick's level.
Fortune, please get a better interviewer next time.
Phil Spencer is a smart person
The interviewer is doing performance art
Nah he's doing bias tribalism trolling art
Interview or interrogation?
Both
Interview or Interruptions? lol
@@JellalFernandes1991 Both
Phil is an awesome person, he has a we are all together vibe that makes him an amazing person to listen to..I think he should run for President 👍
The interviewer , “ that’s hysterical “ 😒
google needs to stick with being a search engine nothing else
Damn props to the interviewer he made Phil sweat and dodge so many questions if you watch Phil body language almost every question the interviewer made Phil sweat and reveal so stuff he obviously didn't mean to well done whoever's you are
Whatever. It's not anything we haven't seen in regards to questions.
@@jamestomlinson8861 it's nothing to do with the questions just the fact he had Phil's back against the wall
12:40 the interview gets spicy
It’s also a horribly misleading question and clearly edited answer. Phil has been clear on his role in leading to the Xbox One's initial failure. But since then he's risen from a general manager of their internal studios to directly reporting to the CEO of Microsoft.
Meanwhile all gamers want is great exclusive games making the purchace of Xbox one X worthwhile. Mine is gathering dust while my PS4 Pro is used daily, I wonder why?
It was a tought interview, but very clarifying. It's so much better than those other medias.
I see media sites like gaming informer just putting the click bait title, instead of bringing the full content. It's completely out of reality. And sadly, Xbox fans falls in these traps without seeing it.
There are loads of other interviews that have asked the same questions. There really wasn't anything new said in this interview if you have been paying attention.
You can hire all these studios but console needs games for that platform to sell. Playstation and Nintendo has games but Xbox has what exactly...Another Gears, another Forza...
Also i know what people will say about Playstation and Nintendo. But Sony has games coming exclusive to their console or first to PS4 such as: Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Medievil, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Concrete Genie, The Last of Us 2 and probably more in development.
Nintendo has Breath of the Wild 2, Pokemon Sword and Shield, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Astral Chain, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and more.
Xbox has Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Battletoads, Age of Empires II Definitive Edition with indies exclusive to Xbox but more if not all games are coming to PC so Xbox One the console has no exclusives that are strictly made for Xbox one. Nintendo and Sony has games strictly made for their consoles. I understand what Microsoft is trying to do but streaming games is not the future that will shape the industry, it will only hurt the industry.
Now keep in mind, Nintendo is bringing games back as a remake or making sequels to games we been asking for a LONG time coming. So i think they get a small pass on the sequels that are being made. Sony has their 1st party studios already working on New IPs for PS5 and finishing up games that started on PS4.
As somebody who owns all consoles, I can definitely agree with the above. If I were only on Xbox, I'd be pretty disappointed in the 1st party output by Xbox, because it's literally just Halo, Gears, Forza when it comes to the bigger titles.
I really hope that these newly acquired studios don't work on existing IP's and come up with their own ideas instead or at least very old IP's that haven't seen a title for quite a while. Ideally, we'd get a wide variety of game genres, while at the same time the games actually release in a state, where you don't have to wait months for meaningful content, like in the case of Sea of Thieves, which is now a much better game, but since the first impression wasn't that good, people already moved away.
Totally agree with you. Microsoft needs to really step their AAA output up because none of their plans will work greatly without some compelling new ips. The biggest issues Microsoft has now is time and hype.
Awesome interview and very honest interviewer. Thank you. Phil couldn't just give us vague bullshit like other interviews!
Yeah, because the others interviewers just wanted to promote console wars and to have some material to promove clickbaits.
These media doesn't make any real quality stuff these days.
Phill is the man very honest and a real gamer
There is a huge difference between growing gaming as a cash cow for your company and growing gaming as an entertainment medium with substance. You are continuously proving where your priorities lie.
Phil did great for such a bad interview
"Competing with google stadia" yes let that sink in.
I mean....their idea seemed like competition a year ago. Since then it's just been a mess. Any impressions I've read from people testing out xcloud say it's much better than Stadia.
@@Radb707 and now it's even 10 times better.
the interviewer is rude.
Yeah he is and very bias towards PS
Xbox is the absolute best
The interview was informed which is the point of interviews. Other then that the profitability of xbox question/scene was awkward. I would say when the next gen hits next year, yes! Why? Well cause what xbox is offering it's consumers compare to sony and google. To me it seems like Xbox is giving you a combo of both and without VR lols
You may disagree, but since Phil took the leadership on Xbox, the industry just keep growing. Never leave us Phil, you are really unique and focus on us, the customers.
PD. Since I choose the 360, then the One, gaming has been never so smooth and versatile
Julio Guzman i choose all 3 so 🤷🏻♂️
What type of interviewer consistently interrupts the interviewee?
Jesus. This is the most annoying interviewer I’ve ever seen! Half of the time it’s like he’s testing him to see he answers the “correct” way! Wtf... Well done Phil, I would have lost my shit 😂
I love you Phil!!! No homo
thank you phill for this interview, it will shed light on a lot of question that gamer have. this is why i love xbox
is the interviewer an xbone fan? or into the pc master race?
What master race? 😂
The interviewer is a Playstation fan
The hell with fortune magazine, they don’t give 1... 2 shits for the people they interview. Dude couldn’t be bothered. I’d fire his ass.
As a long time fan of the brand, pretty nice to get some statements like that admission about this last gen. Even with the efforts they put in to make the console something to be proud of after the initial announcement, I personally lost faith in the direction their established franchises had taken, and even originals like Recore launched with content promised at launch MIA for a year until it had a major update. At this point I only want Series X because they game they've talked it up for Backwards Compatibility means it's just marginally better than the Xbox One S I already own for playing games (graphics aren't a major selling point to me but I understand its importance).
I dunno, interviewer kinda met what I wish I could say to Phil.
Who’s this muppet asking questions sound like biggest XBOT I’ve heard in a while
With the purple suit and the green background, the interviewer looks like a knock off asian joker
Cmon the joker is smart, this guy is lame

Before claiming such things you should may be use one if they were all garbage they would not be selling so much
now i get it why the team respects him so much
Phil is great, as always. But man, that interviewer probably needs to look into a different line of work.
Great 'uncle Phil'!
Was guy typing without looking at the screen btw because if so 👍 that's crazy skills i still have to look at my keys when playing on pc
Man, next time take a shower, get shaved, comb your hair, have your coffee first before doing an interview. Jesus.
Fr, bro was looking like he just got the job 🤣
And learn how to dress. It's like he just put a blazer on whatever shirt he walks around the house in. Wtf man. It's not even a cool tee shirt!
Phil is the man!
I remember enjoying Xbox 360 for early-access content for Call of Duty and Skyrim. Xbox Achievements system was instant. Remember when Xbox 360 and PS3 sales were so competitive and close? Remember when PSN was always down and took forever to load trophies online?
Now PS4 gets early access for many multi-platform games, access to numerous AAA exclusives with solid narratives, trophies load instantly and are sorted with a Platinum trophy, and have DOUBLED console sales of Xbox One sales. Xbox One sales are hidden on wikis now. What has happened???
...Phil Spencer happened. Making every exclusive available to every other platform defeats the purpose of owning an Xbox One. I understand he’s doing it for the gamers but Xbox loses money they could be gaining. That’s why Sony is destroying in sales and they don’t plan to stop (if it’s broken, don’t fix it). When was the last time Microsoft had a successful game or console with crazy sales? It’s constant God of War is the top exclusive, Spider-Man is the top-selling Superhero game and the fastest selling-exclusive, Persona 5 being the top JRPG in a long time. Outside of these platforms, Nintendo Switch is the fastest selling console of all time. PC plays every multi-platform game better than Xbox because of superior frame rate+resolution AND you can hook up your Xbox One controller to it. Soon, the Halo Collection is going on PC. It renders the Xbox One useless.
Definition of an Exclusive Game/Content: Having them one platform and consumers have no choice but to go to that one choice. Sales go up. Cause and effect. It’s simple logic. It’s the mindset of business.
I agree that the interviewer was rude, but he was being brutally honest. Consider it constructive criticism. He mentioned how watching Game of Thrones being only watchable on HBO and nowhere else and that shows he’s hinting and reminding Spencer what an exclusive is and how it pulls people away from other choices. It’s called competition.
Phil Spencer claims gaming will grow, sure and it’s cool that he’s being considerate for us gamers out there to utilize Play Anywhere+CrossPlay and give us GamePass. But Xbox as a brand isn’t growing (plus he is in denial and an Xbox fanboy would say otherwise). You need competition and freshness to grow (higher sales and new IPs). Stagnancy and repetitiveness won’t do that for you (more Halo, Gears, Forza). And that’s goes for everything in life, not just games.
You’re saying Don mattrick wasn’t the reason for Xbox one’s problems?
I love watching phill give interview's it gets me hyped for next genaration
All these damage controlling comments!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like what? "Damage controlling" has been used so much lately and so incorrectly that it's starting to lose its meaning and weight.
How are any comments as you call it damage control. There is no damage that exists apart from in your own close minded thoughts and opinions. If you're holding up the wall then you're missing the point.
