Spencer: "The battle is really September, October, November, and December."

I love Spencer, he has the exact right mentality for gaming industry. It should never be about the competition loosing, but you winning.

That's BS spin right there. If you want to live and let live then winning should not be in your vocabulary at all. Competing should be all about creating a respected and valued brand that allows you to sell a lot of your product, while at the same time remaining acutely aware of what others are doing within your own market niche. End of the day wanting to outright beat the competition is counter productive because the law of diminishing returns means the cost of edging out the competition is more than the benefit. Selling enough to make a good profit and support long term viability of the brand should be the goal, not "winning".

Phil sounds all cool with thing but in the end its the same shit wrapped in prettier words. It's the way completion is perceived to have to be.

Anyway in terms of the ambition to be number 1 I think MS will need to focus on getting through this generation in reasonable shape in order to shoot for that elusive goal next gen.

Also it looks like, in the context of what he's saying, that they are only looking to win USA,  given he believes Oct-Dec could be winning months for Xb one this year. That ain't gonna happen on a globally global basis, but is a chance globally in the USA.
