He was now the head of Xbox, and I honestly thought things were looking great. E3 2014 comes, and we see Scalebound, Crackdown 3, Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Ori, and plenty of great 3rd parties. Well today, 2 of those are canceled, and one of them still isn't released. But oh how little we knew... [...]E3 2017 was by far the biggest mix of disappointment you could imagine. [...]In the end, Phil is nothing but a corporate mouthpiece. He won't stand up for the brand like Peter Moore did, and he certainly won't try to do what gamers want. But, I will give you ONE more chance Phil. One more chance to prove that you can do this brand right. E3 2018. And I will know for certain if your years at Xbox did shit. But so help me god, if E3 2018 is as bad as this one, I will never, ever, invest in this brand, because I honestly feel like MS is treating it like it is dying. I will buy Playstation (in case you didn't know, I bought a PS3 at launch, so yes, I was into that bramd at one point), or maybe a PC, but I will not look back. |
This, and more precisely, Phil is Nadella's mouthpiece just like Mattrick was Lardmer's one, neither of them ever had the authority to decide general strategies and important deals with third parties, at most very short term tactics. You could even say that Mattrick was actually better, as most of his mistakes depended on his first chief back then heading for his career's sunset boulevard. Just look at Reggie, until very recently he had to troll American Ninty users on behalf of Ninty true rulers also in USA, the Japanese HQ, now he's at the top of his glory as his chiefs command him to give mostly good news to US gamers and stop trolling them.
