This is pretty simple, really. It's a calculated move to make people believe Xbox is on the side of gamers and that they care about games above business and corporate politics. It falls right in line with their current PR direction.

Honestly, not a bad move right before E3. Their entire strategy is going to center around humanizing the Xbox division and presenting it as gamer-friendly. Spencer's mug will be plastered all over the internet as the face of Xbox. He'll be their John Cena.

Will he be booed by over half the crowd, like Cena?  That would make for a very interesting, and awkward, E3.  Just hope they don't start up the "Let's go, Spencer!"  "Spencer sux!" chants. 

I'd like to see that, actually.

The thing is, Cena wasn't hated originally.  That's simply the culmination of many years of throat-shoving and a lot of grade-school level jokes.  Spencer has at least a few more years before someone throws his tshirt back at him.
