LOL at MS PC gaming spiel, same BS every year.

If Phil Spencer promises, I believe. He and his company never lie. 🤪

Get lost Phil, you've ruined the Xbox brand, poorly funded, badly managed and too few exclusives that you can now get on a PC, what's the point of Xbox? MS should just do a Sega and publish their games on multiple formats, cause they don't give three sh*ts about improving their own one.
I've owned every Xbox, except the X and I won't be getting another, especially as we now have a good PC in the house.
Sorry Phil, your tactics have lost a loyal Xbox customer in myself.

Glad I own a PC

Regarding the non-committal response to Steam, there's no way MS is putting more games on to Steam in the future. They're not going to give up on the store, if anything they'll double down on it. They're not into building random games to peddle on other people's markets, they're building a platform, and you need your own storefront and exclusivity for a platform. GamePass is part of that strategy too. They'll want to strike at Steam now while they're weak...

What a punchable face

so, no exclusives again, for next gen?

Suddenly Phil is no longer talking about the most powerful console of all time... Is all about Xbox as a service now, and how all gamers should enjoy Xbox games on other platforms, creating depth across platforms and so on...

"Phil Spencer talks" should be engraved on the Xbox one tombstone.

Xbox is done. But Microsoft can make lots of money still if they release their games on other platforms too next gen.

Can't wait to play all my Microsoft exclusives on my new graphics card

shouldn't his commitment be to Xbox games?

Commitment to 2018 worked very well.

Xbox won this generation because Phil Spencer talked much more than all Sony's executives combined.

Trash sony only can provided quality games but poor talking with less promises.

This industry doesn't need qualtiy games anymore, we just need more promises, more ambitious talking, more gaming as a service to produce half-baked games to attract people's attetion and discussion.

Phil Spencer talks...and talks.........and talks..................

I'm told if you search for hot air balloon in the dictionary you'll find this guy's face grinning back at you.

Its time for Halo to make a big push to PC again. MCC and Reach is a good start.

Looking forward to E3 this year, and to next gen. I'm probably going to skip the RTX 2XXX cards, and wait to see what Navi ends up being like, and also see what Nvidia comes out with around the time that the next Xbox/PS5 launches. I think right now is not the right time to upgrade, since the next gen consoles are still 1 1/2 plus years away, and by that time, GPU specs will no doubt be even higher.

As for consoles, i'm not sure that I will purchase the next Xbox, as Id rather upgrade my PC. Being a PS2/PS3/PSP owner, I didn't like what PS4 offered, outside of Uncharted 4 and possibly Infamous Second Sun. After taking some time to look into God of War 4, and originally being a skeptic, I am interested in that game too.

If PS5 offers something that I find compelling, and they offer backwards compatibility with PS3 games, or at the very least, come out with remastered Killzone 2&3, and perhaps the Resistance Collection, along with Metal Gear Solid 4 and Motorstorm remastered(which would be awesome), I will probably get in on Sony's next console. However, PC is definitely the future, and I always seem to spend more time on there than I do with any of my consoles.

Ms needs a new leader and team. Because phil and his friends are just collecting checks and pr lying

Is funny to see how in the comment section the new defend line is "Xbox doesn't matter", is now about the PC.

Very jaw dropping how the Xbox community is willing to drop their loyalty to the Xbox so easily.

RIP Xbox consoles

This gives me even more reason to upgrade my gaming PC rather than purchasing the next gen Xbox. Thank you Phil. We can count on you to destroy the Xbox brand within itself. At this point, Sony and Nintendo don't even have to worry about Xbox as a competitor.

I like a lot of thing MS has done over the years with the XBOX. Unlike a lot of the Sony fanboy haters, I've enjoyed my XBOX consoles along with Sony's and Nintendo's (even though I skipped the Wii and WiiU). I still prefer the XBOX controller over Sony's, what they did for online gaming on consoles with XBOX Live was great. Titles like Halo, Gears, Forza have been great and even games like Cuphead and Ori are excellent titles. Really, the crowning achievement for MS in gaming was the XB360. There were 3rd party exclusives that ended up being killer multiplatform games like Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc.

However, I think I'm moving on from Phil Spencer and his idea of what is XBOX gaming. This brand needs a new YOUNGER guy to replace Spencer and Major Geezer Nelson. Sorry but I just think they work so hard to appeal to gamers that they are out of touch with most gamers. There is a core of gamers they appeal to but they can't and won't get beyond because the leadership is stuck.

As good as MS has been for gamers, they have been atrocious in other areas. The RROD was a nightmare. It cost them a complete domination of the console market. Coming to the end of the XB360 cycle it appears that MS moved on from games as Shane Kim moved on.

The XBOX1 has been a failure no matter how you slice it. I have an XB1X and to date I can't say this console has brought anything to the table that's a must have. 4K gaming? Well its nice but marginal compared to its direct competitor. Online gaming? Nope. Exclusive games? Weaker in just about every category except racing with Forza. Backward Compatibility? Nice but not game changing.

Sad part about it is that there are tons of opportunities and MS just let them go by the way side. Almost like they didn't care about games and left it to the 3rd parties. Yes, I still think 3rd parties make some of the best games but Sony has shown that their exclusive games are just as impressive. Not the case with MS. Yeah, they bought some new studios but its a bit to late for this generation and the studios they bought aren't that impressive IMO. Also the Dashboard UI is has become a cluttered mess with tons of stuff that I'm not interested in. Plus its slow and not well organized.

Anyways, this is looking like the last console I'm buying from MS. They have got to do much better to win me over to spend my money again. I'm no upset since they have and will be good for console gaming. They just seem to stop appealing to the kind of gamer I am. Those gamers need XB360 gaming days without the console malfunction. MS you should consider calling Shane Kim back. Spencer isn't cutting it.

would love to smoke a bowl with spencer, suggest that his games should be accessible on other services e.g. steam. trends are flexible, gaming should be too - regardless of platform

Based on the fact that they have Age of Empires and Gears tactics exclusive to PC I would say they are more committed to gaming on PC than console. Play anywhere apparently only works 1 way.

He reminds of a used car salesman . He also talks like one.

Bring exclusives please to compete with Playstation

Phil Spencer is talking.... Well, no surprise there

Microsoft has a hell of a lot of things which needs to be made clear at E3 and GDC for Xbox fans Switch fans and Pc players. I hope they succeed with their messaging. We don't need another disastrous 2013 pr message right now Microsoft.

But no more microsoft store give it on all stores.

"Microsoft will not influence the kind of games inXile makes. "They've not once said 'we'd really love you to do more of this or less of that'—that's never been a conversation. Really, it's going to be up to us, and very much us talking to our fans about the things they'd like to see."

This is great news. I now their was some "concern" from certain sectors about how Microsoft will seek to control these studios...but as always, I rather here from the people themselves, not from so called gamers on the sidelines that are really just looking to push an agenda at the end of the day.

As a software only company, it would seem the obvious direction is software only. Console is the short term for them, a way to deliver "their" games and content. You will probably see one more console from them and they will transition into Xbox as a service to other areas where you can only play their content when you pay for the Xbox service. The writing is on the wall, Look at EA access, Xbox game pass, PS Now.... physical media has been killed by the used market, Billions of dollars have been lost by these companies to the gamestops of the world, Digital delivery and games services are the new world order.....unfortunate....but unfortunately true.

lol MS hasn't learned a damn thing! XD, they are doing the same mistakes before the release the xbox uno. :D

I dont understand why its so difficult for people to understand MS has the chance to sell its game on a wider platform that is all MS. Moving forward it will be no more next gen crap just like we have on pc. So we will get the compact but still more powerful xbox console along side another very powerful one. Then we will get a very good xcloud streaming platform for people like me that dont want to upgrade any pc or buy a console. Then you have the windows platform and it will all be universal xbox gaming now instead of how its sorta divided right now.

People can ramble on about game streaminng but its coming and when it does its going to be very main stream. Just like the movies we stream and music we stream

let's see if these studios even exist two years into the next gen.
How much of a saint will Phil Spenser be when they shutter Ninja Theory?

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
