Is this Phil Spencer's final test for Microsoft? Is his job on the line?

Considering X1 has like half the userbase of PS4, several of their exclusives do pretty well. But not every exclusive will be a hit.

Sony themselves said most exclusives won't make money but you support them anyway, obviously because consoles need exclusives content.

I don't think it really matters how far ahead PS4 gets per se, the biggest priority for Xbox should be keeping their userbase viable. A large userbase worth bringing games too. Getting the huge 3rd party exclusives on a regular basis is what helps both Xbox and Playstation thrive.

I don't attribute PS4's success to "hot new IPs." Because a lot of its popular games are sequels and many of PS4's best selling games are also on X1.

 The Xbox One sold faster than the 360 and were on the third year now. Thats the same year Halo 3 came out. No excuses. The fanbase has spoken. Single player experiences are not where its at. Spencer said it himself. Nintendo and Sony have those games tailored for their fanbase. I hope they have some great mulitplayer experiences ready then. Microsoft only needs one though. Seriously....the standards for Xbox have never really been that high.

I'm not sure what you're saying...

Sometimes when you argue you don't elaborate your points and its just a jumble of words.

Are you saying X1 needs more exclusives? Does it need multiplayer games? Are cinematic experiences what Sony fans want?

I still give the edge to X1 in 1st party exclusives, but they do different things in regard to gameplay.
