| AlfredoTurkey said: I knew this was going to happen after I saw the video. Phil has transformed the Xbox One into a hard core console that works well with a controller. It's pretty amazing really because the the Don Mattrick Xbox One was a TV/Kinect based nightmare. For Phil to put together a team of people talented enough to fix that cluster fuck... hats off. |
Have to disagree with you. Phil isnt the reason the XB1 is getting better in terms of Hardware/Software. Windows 10 and DX12 and Cloud Computing were all drawn up when Don Mattick was in charge. The difference is when XB1 launch, Don or Phil didnt know the direction the console was heading. This OS update was going to come no matter whos in charge of Xbox. Phil is the man behind the scenes now but that doesnt mean these are fresh ideas he has brought to the table. In other words, all these updates were in the making anyway. Don wasnt a crowd pleaser like Phil and unlike Phil, Don lost his job because he was bad at PR.
I love Phil for the image he has given Xbox, not for its updates or improvements because like i said, even if Don was in charge this would have happen regardless. Remember Don was in charge of the 360 and that turned out to be the most own Console for last gen. If Don could have PRed better for the XB1 launch then he would still be around today. Its a business that has many years planning, these arent just On-The-Spot desicions. Phil is the man for XB1 and Don was the man for the 360. Either way PR is PR and Improvements are Improvments. Good to see the XB1 becoming the console it was meant to be, i truly believe the console was released way to early. These updates are proof that the XB1 was easily misjudged at launch.
