Why would you care about anything until he was actually head of the Xbox division. Where you in the conference rooms when decisions were made. Do you even know how any of those decisions went down or if he fought for them and lost. You are making judgement on information you have no clue on what happen. I have worked for MS in the past and can tell you that certain titles may sound important but there are a lot of layers to them. I have no clue what he contributed or not during the times he wasn't the boss, but as the boss, I can directly see what his vision is now.
I am not covering Spencer ass, for some reason you believe a huge company like MS moves like a developer. So what exactly are you blaming Spencer for since he gain control of the XBox division. How hard do you think he may or may not had to change senor management to actually purchase new studios and the other efforts since his term. Stop acting as if you have all the information or even know how MS work because right now only thing I see is you making an opinion on what you believe happen or has happen. Nothing moves fast at MS, that is the first thing you should know.

Problem is, that Phill have promised for like 4-6 years to improve 1st party. And we have had people in the site defending that it isn't something he can do over night, but then on 6 month window they buy/increase/create 5-10 studios? It clearly shows that it wasn't something in the top of their list until now, and he have been lying for a long time.

Read Ryuu's comment. It sums up perfectly the situation with Xbox. I'm sure if it was up to Phil, he would've improved 1st party presence sooner than he had, but with Xbox still being under the Windows division and Phil having to report to Terry Myerson, he only had so much power. Shortly after Xbox became its own division and Phil became executive VP, Xbox started buying up studios and increasing their 1st party. It's not a coincidence.
