Only thing I would say is it sounds like Phil Spencer is putting time and money into rare classics like banjo and conker |
Microsoft already pissed over Banjo, I very much doubt anyone with any working brain cells would be happy to see them do it again.

Phil Spencer is in charge now. Things are already a lot better. And he knows what he is doing. Microsoft have already started the gen well with exclusives. Sony is struggling outside indie games which can be found on pc and tablets. Apart from a last gen game which reviewers used last gen scores for Xbox is winning at retail exclusives. With no answer to horizon 2 or titanfall atm.
The order is also getting bad press. Another exclusive that could meta low 70s or high 60s. If sunset overdrive reviews well 85+ then Xbox is going strong. It's difficult to know what halo mcc will score, but like gran turismo it will sell regardless of score.
I believe Phil Spencer will put a proper team together for a banjo 3 and new conker. He's doing wonders at the moment. As a Nintendo gamer there is much more promise for Xbox than ps.

Just stop. What on earth has Phil Spencer done in the past to earn this respect?
During the 360 from launch until 2008 he worked with Lionhead and rare. The first made increasingly worse Fable games until the studio founder left and rare utterly collapased in quality. Viva, Banjo Nut and Bolts and Kinect Sports - all utter shit.
After which he became head of Microsoft Studios whos original content decinded and dwinded to the point that they only had about 1 game in 2012.
I have no idea what good will Phil has built up with you to put such a huge amount of faith in him, but I think It's mis-placed.

He wasn't behind Microsoft studios dwindling. That was a direction don matrick took the Xbox division as a whole.
Since he's been head of Xbox, he's done nothing but good things. Listening to gamers and giving us what we want. As head of Xbox I have no reason he won't continue in the same fashion. He's even listened to the gamers about parity clause. So all those Indies will likely head to Xbox. He's done a tremendous job.
