Regarding Spencer's upcoming announcement, let's refresh our memory with past announcements.

I think what you're saying is that if he announces Xbox is going 3rd-party, then we can expect all their releases from now on to be exclusive on Xbox Series X?

Kinect 3.0 is coming!
 
My favourite was the e3 show where Phil announced the Xbox One S at the start of the show, and made it pointless by the end of the show as they started talking about the Xbox One X. Genius move.
 
Xbox One exclusives were pretty good up until 2015. After that it all fell apart. They didn't have Bungie. They didn't have Epic. They didn't have Lionhead. Third party exclusives became more expensive because of their diminishing market share.

Even if they had done everything right with XB1 hardware, they had put themselves in a bad situation for software, thinking that they can pay to build a new AAA studio and the results will be just as good as with a battle tested studio.

I remember when it was made clear that all games would have to run on Series S.

Still the most boneheaded thing Phil's done… aside from having zero exclusives.
 
"We're not in the business of out-consoling Sony or out-consoling Nintendo."

"There isn't really a great solution or win for us
..."

"…if you just build great games everything would turn around. It's just not true that …that if we just focused more on great games on our console that somehow we're going to win the console race doesn't really lay into the reality"

Guy must be suffering from red ring of death syndrome.
 
Hopefully Phil is going to reintroduce Don and give him a second chance to right the ship.
Give him a muligen.
It couldn't be much worse.
