Phil Spencer is a likable guy, but I'm starting to feel that he's simply paying lip service to Xbox fans.

He says his strategy is more about "first party franchises, and investing in franchises we own" and "we should be pushing harder on genre and control" but I see very little evidence of these strategies.

Halo Wars 2 is a step in the right direction, but I want to see Spencer and company follow through more completely on these ideas.

The 1st party games and deals were made under his watch. He was the head of first party studios since 2010(+/-) until 2014.

ReCore is MS's, so is Scalebound, Ori, Screamride, QB, etc... all new ambitious IPs investment.

Killer Instinct was brought back, Crackdown and Gears is being given a proper budget and staff to be worked on.

In a year a half span, we gonna have a galore of AAA games owned by MS gracing Xbox Ones, which is more than what Nintendo produced for WiiU. The biggest 1st party producer according to most.
