is Phil Spencer still considered the right guy for Xbox?

[Trapperman Dave]

This delay pretty much buried any chance of making next gen competitive. Thought this gen was an ass whuppin..... It might be worse next gen

Man the PR screwed them over this gen and they just never fully recovered from it. From 2021 n forward they need to be dropped new ips and get feedback to improve them. Scalebound definitely needs to return it could have been a good rival to horizon

After the news about Halo Infinite being delay to 2021, and all the other mistakes xbox have gone through under Phil's management ...can he still be considered as the right choice for Xbox? I believe he took over Xbox in 2014 (correct me if im wrong) , and i still havent seen any positive changes for the Xbox brand.

Yes he is. Phil has done a great job. Backwards compatibility, multiplatform multiplayer, Game Pass, expanding Xbox Studios.

Xcloud, making the more powerful consoles

You didn't mention games or actually selling consoles. Their biggest game is minecraft and it was big before they bought it.

I play everything and I think the whole xbox ecosystem they’ve been setting up is excellent. GamePass, XCloud, and Xbox All Access are all great. They just need more exclusives to compete with Sony’s first party offerings but I’m excited for what they have in the pipeline, particularly the Western RPGs

 

[Rekkapryde]

right now it basically looks like an upgrade of the Xbox One X in the most safest sense. Basically a PC getting a hardware upgrade but everything else is the same.

that's EXACTLY what it is. Down to the T.

Games? Whats that? This is why xbox will never get anywhere. The players are too comfortable with services being their primary go to. Xbots deserve all the 360p, unfunished, 6 metacritic games they do eventually put out .

PlayStations stance is clear. A focus on next gen, AAA games. The services and bc are there too but they are not the main selling point

 

[Koba St]

I think he’s done fantastic regarding services and hardware. Cloud gaming and streaming is clearly the future even though it’s still too early and their Gamepass service is great for those who like Microsoft games and if they start adding third party AAA games day one it will become even better. The Xbox hardware; One X and Series X has been brilliant.

But what he fails at and that’s the most important in gaming is games. Their software output has been awful under his watch and even though they’ve bought new studios, it’ll take a long long time for first party games to match Sony’s. Matt Booty and that fat clown Aaron Greenberg should’ve been sacked a long time ago as they’re both useless.

Here's the thing. Microsoft can continue to build Xbox as a service. There's nothing wrong with that approach. You keep looking at Microsoft through the lens of wanting them to be more like Sony. They don't need to do that.

If the future of Xbox is Gamepass then Microsoft shouldn't be putting out AAA Sony style games. They need to focus on service style games that people play long term.

Or do both. Subscription services need a diverse line up to be successful
