Following the showdown at Gamescom Microsoft’s Xbox Division Head Honcho Phil Spencer had a few comments to share on Twitter, especially on the games which for now have been announced just for PS4.
First of all, he had words of praise for the PS4 exclusive Wild by Michel Ancel:

He also mentioned that he had a chat with the creators of both No Man’s Sky and DayZ, and he’d want them on Xbox One:

Yet, he specifie that there’s nothing to announce yet on DayZ:

Talking about first party studios, he mentioned that there will be more to talk about for the new Gears of War next year:

It’s quite unlikely that we’ll see anything about it at Tokyo Game Show, even if Spencer mentioned that he’s now working on the plans for the event:

As an added bonus (and it0s a big bonus for me), he promised that a screenshot feature for the Xbox One is in the works, even if there’s no ETA for now:
http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/themes/dualshockers2/images/blockquote_icon.gif) 20px 0px no-repeat transparent;">Working on screenshots, lots of requests for this feature. We’ll get it done, just not locked on when.
Can’t say I’m not eager to be able to snap screenshots on my Xbox One. Hard to understand why the feature hasn’t been implemented to begin with, but at least it’s coming.
