If anything he undersold it, since its less holiday exclusive, and more like Holiday, Spring, Summer and Autumn exclusive.

Certainly more fun than some random armor in Destiny and the controversy has raised RotTR profile 10 fold.

As an Xbox exclusive? No, it isn't. Not to mention that autumn ends on December 21, and I'm quite sure SE plans to publish the PS4 version well before that day.

Still Phil Spencer didn't spin much. It's thanks to him that we knew it was a timed exclusive. That Aaron guy, instead.. He must be the best friend of Don Mattrick.

Phil spinned a lot first, saying " we wouldnt fund a game to see it coming on other platforms", but when he saw people were understanding the truth, he told part of it to prevent people to call it a liar, but still

Did he really say so? I remember reading a lot about this timed exclusive deal after the infamous announcement, and Phil Spencer was actually the one specifying that "exclusive for Xbox on Holiday 2015" just meant exclusive on that time window, as SE later confirmed.

But if he said anything like that, he is liar. MS is notorious for "funding" third party games just to delay the games on the competiting console(s). Still I wonder why the truth came out so early.
