So you ignore everything else he has done and only look at a few games that did not score great. Is that your only measurement because if so, I guess we do not need to continue this discussion. You already made up your mind. I am looking at the entire change to not only the Xbox division but MS outlook on studios and games period. That include the PC space as well. I see that MS noticed as a company their lack of high quality software and has purchased companies to fill that gap. Its not like this is something that can be turned on a dime or that companies with high quality talent are just sitting out there waiting to be purchased. From interviews with the companies that did get purchase and some that MS was interested in, it appears they have been active in seeking and making deals for years. Come the next Gen, this will be a full gen where Phil will be the boss, so it will be interesting to see what comes out from all the new studios and the current ones. |
So, in the 4+ years that he has been in charge, he had enough sway and power to completely change the direction of Xbox into a more service oriented product, but can't oversee the development of games to make sure they are of good/high quality and have a decent flow of them, even the ones that have been in production for the same amount of time he has been in charge? And remember, he wasn't just birthed the day of his promotion. He has been overseeing the development of games during the 360 era onto the XBO, as he was a head of MS Studios. No, that blame gets put squarely on the man who left almost 6 years ago? Yea, sure, got it. You are right on one thing. This convo is over.
