Actually, that was pretty much what was said.

“This is our mobile platform for games,” said Kevin Unangst, senior global director of PC and mobile gaming at Microsoft. “The same people who make the Halo game, the same development folks, work on this. This is our mobile console.”
@ OP
I think the difference is that it's not just a games console, it's a phone, and that's what it needs to be first and foremost. That means having a bunch of smaller games out there as soon as possible, and then just maybe we might see something bigger in the future. But getting "big" games on it is not the priority here, because it doesn't fit the audience well enough.
