This seems to be the exact thinking of some XBox fans. They HAVE to believe it was all Mattrick's fault, even though he wasn't the only one making decisions or proposing things. This was not a Matrrick problem, it was a MS problem. And yes, Spencer was involved in a lot of decisions at Xbox before he became the head. He was the freaking general manager of Microsoft Game Studios EMEA, then he became the general manager of Microsoft Studios and before he was completely put in charge of Xbox, he was MS Studio's corporate vice president. If you think he was just some puppet who played no part in the screw up of the launch XBO, you are quite naive. But, I guess some just need a scapegoat, taking the blame completely off of Spencer and MS.
Like I said before, this has more to do with Spencer being upset with MS not putting as much money into Xbox for exclusive content from 3rd parties. Do people actually think if the XBO had 15M more units under its belt and MS was still pumping money in for COD marketing rights and DLC, Spencer would still be saying the same thing? Hell no, he wouldn't. And many Xbox fans would be here defending the policy. Just like they did last gen. Just like they don't care that FIFA had exclusive Xbox content.
