Help us find a Sony or Nintendo device in the Microsoft circle of life.

More from Trill Phil

Phil Spencer on exclusivity, monetisation and game development

I had this feeling or belief that we were underinvesting and I was head of first-party, so I felt it directly. I wanted to invest more, and we weren't able to. So when I got into this job, I needed to put the business in a good space while getting the support of the company. And then we built a business model that prioritised investing in content knowing that we would have to invest early and wait a while for those investments to pay off.

The long game doesn't involve Sony or Nintendo with the exception of GAAS games like Fallout 76.

You don't buy IP to share with the competition.

I'm willing to see that I know that they will place the zenimax games on ms's platform I know that...:mjgrin: but like I said, it can go either way... the game could be a success or it could flop because your limiting what was once a multiplatform series to one console...:beli: it just seems redundant you know..:francis: like I said we gotta see how it turns out...

Those games will never flop the following is too huge online.

:francis: I mean yeah PC gamers having a great time but I remember playing fallout 3, skyrim, and Fallout 4 on my playstations... its fukked up they got brought out...
Msoft better hope it pays off it could be a huge backlash having these games only for one console...
