Thats the problem, Phil Spencer's true plan can only unfold at this point towards and onward towards next gen. All Phil could do was fix what the past leadership had done. Whatever happens with Gamepass and Xbox next gen is all on Phil. If Gamepass does succeed it will depend upon exclusives to hoist itself up because it will worth its own weight in gold (literally). It would be more profitable than selling games by themselves.

Phil Spencer has been head of Xbox for years now, and he was even head of the dev studios before that. The "it's not his fault, it's all because of the guys before him" excuse has stopped working a long time ago.

 

And if someone says "You can't recover from a launch fail", the PS3 proved that wrong. 

Sony already had those games planned before their financial issues started. Sony has always been more first party dedicated than Microsoft. Also, yes, I am willing to give Phil Spencer the benefit of the doubt (for now) because of the fact that he had to turn a ship around that was screwed up. Microsoft has never had or been known for great first party so a restructuring process has to take place. Phil has only recently been given access to the checkbook where he can gather studios and make new ips as everyone has asked. If you dont believe me, look it up.
