Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Phil Spencer isn’t retiring as the chief of Xbox “anytime soon”
He’s overseen major initiatives like the launch of Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft is denying the rumors so we'll see what happens.
Can't feel too terrible for a guy whose been able to rake in mega millions while running an unsuccessful business division, but we'll never know how many of the bad decisions we attribute to him were really his or a direct order from the top of the house of a corporation where gaming is such an insignificant fraction of their total revenue.

Only good thing he has done I think was to push for backward compatibility if that was even him...

Normie masses are so easy to control.
I remember when he made 'pro-consumer decisions' like games day 1 on gamepass, day 1 on PC, even day 1 on ps5, his always-positive PR talks. It was IMPOSSIBLE to criticize this guy. Sure he was making decisions that sounded incredible for customers in the short term but I think it wasn't hard to see where it would lead Microsoft one day. And now that a bunch of people get fired, its near impossible to praise this guy without normies screaming at you, LOL.

"So what are the options for people who don't own a PC ?"
"Well for these people we have an option, it's called Xbox Series X"

Don't think so, it's not like it wasn't obvious from the start.
"We're struggling with our sales, what should we do ?"
"Make more appealing games ?"
"No we're gonna release everything on PC day one"
"No that's, stupid, what else ?"
"We're gonna put our games in a subscription service with a refundable 1$ trial"
"Well that doesn't sound to be a good idea, but if it's only old games that would let people buy them afterwards, why not"
"No, we're gonna put day one games in it"
"Are you insane ? That's the worst decision you could possibly come up with"
"We need more day one games, let's buy studios, or even publishers like Zenimax"
"Stop it, you're burining too much money for no return"
"We need even more day one games, let's buy Activision for 70 billion dollars"
"Gosh, just don't put CoD day one there"
"Let's put CoD day one there"
"Okay I'm done"
"Oh noes, it doesn't work, let's put our games on PS5 then"
"..."
"Well, let's just lay off everybody"

"I see commentary that if you just build great games, everything would turn around. It's just not true, that if we go off and build great games all of a sudden you'll see console shares shift in some dramatic way"
Still my favorite Phil quote
The worst thing about that quote is the people interviewing him at the time never even questioned it, just sat there.
If what he said was true then how did Nintendo and PlayStation achieve success over the years?
At a guess what i think he was trying to say is it's not worth the effort and they don't see the console market as a high priority, if at all.
Imo it's pure wasted potential because I believe if they got it right across the board it would be a amazing platform alternative to PlayStation and Nintendo.

Gaining Steam, it will have ascended to something greater. Master race hybrid.
Locking this thread since the original tweet has been deleted by the author, and we also have this report from The Verge with an MS spokesperson denying the rumor.
