As we informed you, recently Phil Spencer He broke his silence about his difficult week X-Boxwith negative Redfall reviews released just days after Activision Blizzard’s UK takeover was blocked.
In more detail, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division gave a full interview to the Xcast broadcast, and even made some interesting statements about the general direction of the Xbox.
In detail, Spencer was asked if Microsoft was neglecting the experience for Xbox console owners, focusing more on the PC side than it should. His answer was very long, as he emphasized among other things that Microsoft does not aim to sell more consoles than Sony or Nintendo.
In fact, Spencer closed by saying, “And 11/10 if Starfield gets people who won’t sell their PS5,” suggesting that Xbox’s market share wouldn’t change if Microsoft started making great games.
For more information, you can find excerpts from his remarks below, translated into Greek, as well as the entire interview:
We have a different vision. It’s this: play the games you want, with the people you want, wherever you want. We want Xbox to be something that people who buy Xbox consoles feel like they’re a part of, but also when they’re playing on PC or in the cloud. To feel like normal members of our own ecosystem. Xbox Game Pass members can play on many different devices, and we’re committed to continuing to do so.
We have no intention of beating Sony or Nintendo hardware.
There really is no good, win-win solution for us. And I know that’s going to upset a lot of people, but the reality is when you’re in third place in the gaming hardware market and the other two players are just as strong as they are in that situation and they have in some cases a lot of, very clear objective of making deals and doing other things You make it hard for us to be Xbox…and that’s something we’re responsible for, nobody but ourselves.
Our vision is that everyone who plays on console should feel like they have a great experience and that they are a first class citizen. They have invested heavily in our platform. But we are unable to…
And I see that there, and I see comments that if you just made great games, everything would change. It’s not true that if we start making great games, we’ll suddenly see a drastic change in console market share.
We lost the worst generation we could possibly lose with the Xbox One, when everyone built their own digital library of games.
So when you go and build on Xbox, we want the Xbox community to feel good, but this idea that if we focus more on great games on our console we’ll somehow win the race is very far out of line with the reality of most people.
90% of the people who enter a retail store each year to buy a console are already members of one of the three ecosystems. And their digital library is right there. This is the first generation where the big games they play are games that were also available in the previous generation. When you think of Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft, generation-to-generation continuity is very strong.
I see a lot of critics who want us to go back to the days when we all had tapes and records and every new generation was a new beginning and you could change the whole market share. This is not the world we live in today.
There is no world where Starfield will get an 11 out of 10 and people will start selling their PS5. It won’t happen.
