Who wants to bet he's just talking about gears of war, forza, halo, quantum break, etc.
Listening to gamers and offering exclusive games is the future of XONE - Phil Spencer

I want neither right now. I'm pretty much a PC convert at this point. First and second party exclusives are what make things interesting for me. I can see myself picking up one of these systems down the road as their libraries grow. Money hats and timed exclusives aren't compelling to me.
Absolutely. If buying away exclusives from other platforms is what they mean by this, then I do not want them to succeed. Making games via their studios should be the focus.

Honestly, I couldn't give a shit. It didn't affect my enjoyment of GTA 3, it didn't affect my enjoyment of TitanFall or any game put into this situation. If it meant people kept jobs and become successful from it in creating quality games then I'm not bothered.

This makes me really, really excited. I just hope these games are actually exclusive to Xbox One and not "the Microsoft ecosystem."
Titanfall wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for MS.
I think the situation was similar to Bayonetta 2's situation according to the final hours of Titanfall.

Well as long as you're listening to fans give me a Halo that isn't entirely bogged down by novel lore and semirandom Callofdutification elements and you'll have my money

Make an RPG like Alpha Protocol only with better gameplay, voice acting and visuals
Who's going to make it?
I think everyone can agree that saying without doing doesn't amount to anything. Clearly, Phil Spencer is being more vocal about his and the team's ambitions over at Xbox, but that's the reality of being connected wth fans more so than ever; especially ones who have been disappointed in the output and actions of the Xbox division over the last years of the 360 and subsequent release of the Xbox One.
I know I'm not alone in the excitement of seeing what they have to show. I believe they've been working hard on getting games for the platform that wont just be expected sequels, and hopefully, E3 will be a joy to watch in regards to all platforms and publishers.

Obsidian, but this time give them a real budget and time to make it properly.

I'll take that bet. I bet you will see several new games,a mix or more new ip and at least one returning old franchise similar to KI.

This is just like Shu saying Sony has exciting things planned for E3 etc. Of course they are going to say the things people want to hear.

meh. just compare 360 and ps3 exclusives for the past 4 years. 2013 alone is telling.
xbox keeps on harping about games when in recent years they have nothing to show for it relative to the competition. they've been striving for other goals and now suddenly they're talking about games.
they've been playing catch up the whole time. when gamescom dropped they've only announced their id@xbox program while sony revealed all the indie games coming to ps4/vita like rogue legacy and hotline miami 2 and even exclusive like volume.
so far, i can see microsoft moneyhatting for exclusives. i just feel like they'll moneyhat a multiplat to come first on xbone just as they did with 360. they can keep doing that but that's not what i'd call an investment to gamers but rather "here's something that you'll get to play first on xbone. buy xbone if you want to have early access."
and they have to expand their library. honestly, there's a reason why the halo/gears/forza/fable joke is the way it is. it's good that they have remedy but don't depend on a single studio to come up with a new ip. invest in smaller games.
it'd be funny if they got thatgamecompany's new game.

Last i checked those were exclusive. If you're implying that is all they will have at E3, you're likely in for a rude awakening.

Phil Spencer, please listen to this wise guy.

Not really. Spencer has been trying to hype up the fanbase ever since the DRM fiasco.
Whereas Shu pretty much trolls anyone who tries to hype up, E3, Gamescom, PAX, etc. implying to them that they shouldn't get their hopes up
he's usually right
I assume you are referring to Titanfall which wasn't even the case with that game.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I see Quantum Break has made into the "MS only has 4 exclusives" rhetoric. Fable must be pretty sour about losing the spotlight in such a coveted list.

I've had zero interest to buy an Xbox One, until Spencer took over. My interest went up a small amount. E3 will be what speaks loudest.
I think you're seeing something that isn't there. Until your post I had never seen anyone claim MS only had 4 exclusives.
OT this E3 is huge for MS , it's where we find out if this new message is just better PR through saying what people want to hear or if they have genuinely changed course.
Until then "it's all about the games guys, honest" is just empty words.

I think the Xbox is gonna be a wonderful console to own just like the Xbox and Xbox 360. Their message was just as bad as it gets at the beginning but their actions have been pretty damn good and with the regime change it will only get better.
How exactly are the last few years of the 360's lifecycle ( when Matrick ran the division) "telling" for what to expect now that Spencer is running it?

When he doesn't mention "games", people question why he didn't. Of course he's trying to fix their image, that's his job.
They basically co-funded it and as a return, it was always gonna be a timed console exclusive on Xbox platforms. Microsoft then made a late deal with EA regarding "full" exclusivity which Respawn apparently weren't involved in.
Because, brace yourself, the decisions made by the Xbox division were not solely coming from Don Mattrick.
Phil Spencer was backing the DRM stance just as hard back before the 180, they follow whatever direction the Xbox team is heading. It's naive to think a company is going to do a complete reverse of every policy simply by appointing a new head.
Wasn't there a thread recently that said something about if Microsoft didn't jump in (pun intended) then Titanfall wouldn't have been a thing ? I could be wrong though.
He ran their first party studios.
Funny how some complain about Spencer talking in a interview.
Spencer has proven himself for not only blowing smoke. Gears IP bought and Killer Instinct brought back are two solid examples.
And when he says this years E3 will be games, games and games, then I believe him.
This is the internet, everything has been done before.

You expected Phil to go against what was happening. At the end of the day he still needs to do his job. All of this is irrelevant now since they changed those policies and are under new leadership.
He didn't have as much power as now.

No. They only need to get the price down Kinect or not.
That's an odd way of thinking seeing how Sony pretty much changed their approach to consoles after Kutaragi was no longer running the show. But the Box division will be exactly the same as with Matrick?
Agreed. Actions speak louder than words, after all. Don't just prove this to us by talking about it, prove what you've been saying to us by showing it.
I'll just wait & see if he lives up to those words.
True, products will be the same, the portfolio of games in development hasn't changed since he stepped up (he was already responsible for that anyway before he became Head of Xbox). I disagree that certain massive "emergency decisions" such as a price drop or announcing a Kinect-less SKU aren't possible in time for E3, though. They really have to deliver on all fronts in that press conference, and Phil knows that (and he seems to have a strong backing by Nadella).

THIS!
Microsoft spends too much time just buying crap instead of investing in their own titles.
You mean like they did last E3, oh wait.....
