ahahaha
you tried to do that several times, failing miserably every time, even in collaboration with nintendo.

Someone PLEASE get rid of this ckowb. . .

This guy annoys me with all his bullsh*t. Whatever floats his boat

Success for Microsoft is creating the most synergy between Xbox & PC. Everything else is a side benefit

I think Phil puts his foot in his mouth every time he does an interview

XB will never pull Sony down in the gaming dept. Next.

This clip is meme-able.

PR talk. Reggie always did this with Nintendo. When you're beating the competition you brag about how and why you're beating the competition. When you're losing against the competition you explain why you're really not in competition. It's not about competing.

Considering Scarlett is most likely going to be the last MS console it's a given.

im finding it worrying that xbox fans are just following anything microsoft says. if xbox says we are into streaming i bet you a dollor xbox fans will spring onto n4g to defend that decision. more over i would like to know if for over 5 years of letting you down why do you cling on?

xbox games will be on a ps console soon. the division will be Sega 2.0

Phile Spencer is certainly one of the more mature figures in the gaming industry. Gotta love him!

He's right. For the gaming industry to survive/thrive, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo must balance what type of services they introduce, and how they compete against one another. If it's clean competition, you know like one upping each other in services, games and appearances that's a great thing. I personally believe that all 3 companies offer something a little different, especially Nintendo because Microsoft and Sony are more on the cutting edge in the tech and gaming department. Nintendo innovates with their hardware to makeup for that raw cutting edge power. I love all 3.

Patches the Hyena doing another interview.

Cant this guy just keep quiet for a while? Seems like almost everyday, I see some some new interview from him.

Thats funny because thats the vibe Ive got from MS since they came into the industry. Even now, they want to scorch the industry as we know it. But, even if what he says is true in the slighest, I comment him for it. I just dont think he is being genuine.

Microsoft execs just seem to talk and promise and posture and talk and talk and talk. So much talk and so little substance. All we seem to get fromt them is an endless stream of marketing pr bushit. Heres an idea, how about just shut the hell up and 'show' us why we should give a shit.

Of course it doesn't, but it also means they can't go toe to toe in the same space as Sony. The Xbox only makes sense as a cheaper alternative to PC gaming and that where it stops. And so does Playstation, but they have quality exclusives (for the most part) to separate themselves.

Honestly, I would get an Xbox too, if they offered good games that can only be played via an Xbox. However, as it stands, I might as well save up for a gaming PC and keep playing my PS4.

Clearly MS doesn't want to do games like Sony and Nintendo. They want to be the vehicle that provide other people's games but not the one that actually make games. They suck at making games and can't compete. No different than Azure, which is where MS want everything to go. Listen to what he is saying and talking about. Not games but how to get games to the most amount of people. Hence why he claims it doesn't mean pulling Sony down. He wants Sony and Nintendo on Azure.

He is completely lying about not getting rid of the consoles. They want to get rid of the consoles because it a business they cannot win. Notice the games he mention. All MP games that requires little power to play on all devices. You really think you will play Last of Us 2 on your phone? Single player AAA games is not in their business. Sony wants to see you fail and consider you a direct competitor like it or not Spencer. I will not be buying anything XBOX again. Their idea of gaming is NOT mines

Double talking phil selling whatevers is left of xbox fans a bill of goods yet again. This guys all talk and no action. Sony loves this guy because he just bends over for them and now nintendo. The sooner he leaves the better it will be for the xboxox brand.

In the UK when we hear people say things like this about others "brown nose"
Let's not upset the Sony fans as we love Sony which translates too we've failed so hard and better stick our tongue and noses as far up Sonys arse as possible so we can benefit from some kind love we desperate need.
Well Phil Spencer fuck off we ain't falling for it, concentrate on your own company and release AAA games is your answer.

He’s been doing a good job of pulling Xbox down

What Phil really meant in his statement was - we tried to pull Sony down and screwed ourselves in the meantime so now we want to pretend to be friendly because we want the money

Did Spencer learn nothing from Conan? What is good in life?
“To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."

Do people genuinely believe having one console platform would be better? Why is it always one vs the other who gives a fuck at the end of the day its a plastic box.

If one of them had a monopoly it would be awful for us, Sony and Microsoft are businesses they don't care about us they care about the bottom line. if you think Microsoft pulling out of the games industry would be good for us you are an idiot we would end up like the CPU market pre-ryzen, Intel had no competition in mid or high range and they decided to do small 10% performance upgrades because they could and it cost them less that is until AMD woke the fuck up a few years back and started to compete then Intel suddenly had larger performance jumps as if by magic!.

Don't say they would still have Nintendo to compete with they are in their own world sure they have some multi plat games in common with ps4 and xbox 1 but they aren't competing with either of them, Nintendo is like Disney its selling a brand these days not a games console you don't buy Nintendo consoles for their graphics or for their processing power you buy them to play Nintendo games.

Just buy the console you prefer and stop worrying about the competition...

This interview has had phrases pulled out and articles written for a week about this.

Quit it.

Being successfull actually means you beat your opponents.

At least one.

Sony came out and said they don’t see Nintendo as a threat but does see Microsoft as one Sony themselves said this yet there fanboys dumb as they are highly underestimate Microsoft while Sony sure as hell knows better then to do that. Sony fanboys act like Microsoft is no competition complete delusional morons.

Lucky for them.

What success??

Get tired of all this loser talk

It’s just damage control. Phil is already accepting defeat on console sales by saying that’s not what they are going for. They are playing a risky game. I hope it works out for Xbox but I am just not interested in streaming yet. I like to own physical copies and collect them. I wonder if they will release an entry level streaming box and then the Scarlett? I just don’t see it going the way they want/plan.

Jeez, I'm worse for even trying to read and find a response not seething with hate. Close to n4g being blacklisted.... Lose more sites than I find to check in with

Only little kids thing this is a zero sum game

*Fails to pulldown Sony for over a decade
"Well our success doesn't depend on pulling down Sony"
Lol Phil must have a degree in redundancy.

I think MS can be very successful in the gaming area. I am not saying they have not been successful so far. They are doing great moves by releasing their first party titles on PC. As well as releasing the smaller titles like Cuphead on the Switch and also still releasing titles on the PS4 from developers they have recently bought out.

But I think it would be best for them to release their first party titles on all systems as possible. I am not saying get out of the console business altogether. As people might simply prefer to buy a Xbox console than a PlayStation or prefer the controllers ect. That way they will still be shifting a few consoles (not as much as Sony just like it has always been tbh). But they will be seeing more game sales from the PlayStation and Switch owners. Meaning more money for them.

The crazy thing is I keep hearing people say MS wants to be a streaming service.... yet everything in Gamepass is a download. I haven’t seen a single option to stream anything in gamepass. Am I missing something?

Because the all in one entertainment system went down well lol the Infrastructure for the internet isn’t good enough yet

Very good statement.

What success?

Phil Spencer has a very different view of what success for Microsoft looks like

Nothing wrong with being humble...

Because you cant.
