Xboxは昨年に引き続き東京ゲームショウに合わせて「Xbox Digital Broadcast」を配信した。XboxのボスであるMicrosoft Gaming CEOのフィル・スペンサー氏も来日し、Xboxコミュニティやパブリッシングパートナーと相次いで面会。一般公開日初日の23日には会場にも直接足を運び、日本のゲームファンとの交流を愉しんだ。ビジネスデイではなく、わざわざ一般公開日に訪れるのは、スペンサー氏がゲームファンと直接触れ合いたいからで、トラブルがないように対応するスタッフは大変だろうが、コミュニティを最も重視するスペンサー氏らしいこだわりだ。
Yeah, I call complete bs. Should they ever get a large amount (majority) of marketshare with the Xbox brand, they’ll absolutely do that.
Microsoft is gonna Microsoft. Just look how they abuse their Windows marketshare to try and shove Microsoft Edge down your throat. The latest trick I encountered at work was that Outlook now has its own setting for which browser to open links in, it doesn’t respect the OS default browser anymore by default.
The problem with statements like these are even if Phil is telling the truth right now there’s no saying what will happen 7 years later.
Xbox could be losing much more badly than they are now and could try new ways of getting exclusives
shareholders could want more and more
Phil could be replaced by the next Don Mattrick
Consumers don’t own games especially on consoles where they are too tightly tied up with the company who made the hardware. Don’t take this statement too seriously because you never know what will happen.
But he’s not even telling the truth right now. All the FTC documents have shown everything he’s publicly said in the last 5 years has been nothing but lies.
Of course they will claim stuff changes, but the internal documents show that it’s always been lies, always.
