On People saying Phill haven't promissed in the past https://www.polygon.com/2015/4/20/8456445/phil-spencer-e3-2015-first-party-exclusive-games and also don't remember there being that many 1st party on their E3 on that year. http://hardwareblitz.com/microsoft-invested-expanding-first-party-studios-says-phil-spencer/ http://fortune.com/2014/04/25/new-xbox-head-phil-spencer-discusses-evolving-games-industry/ and this one is funny when talking about the mistakes of the reveal he doesn't criticize the ideas they had on what Xbox should be nor the mandate Kinect, he said they could have made their vision more clear. So here also goes that defense of Spencer having fought back and nothing Don Mattrick done being also on his responsability. |
They showed a lot of first party stuff at E3 2015. Gears 4, Halo 5, Forza, Fable, ReCore, Gears Ultimate, Cuphead, Rare Replay, and Sea of Thieves. That's nine games. Also remember that Papa Phil considers anything with a partnership to be first party, so thats why he'd consider Cuphead first party. That's a ton of content.
The rest of your links don't provide an ounce of credibility to your argument. Did you even read them? The only relevant one is the first one where he says that they will increase their commitment to first party studios... and it's from 2018, aka last year, the year they bought like 6 studios. The second one discusses no more buying third party exclusives and that seems to be the case? Maybe I'm mistaken but I can't think of any after Tomb Raider. The last one is mostly generic PR stuff throwing out names of exclusive launch window games and other exclusives not released yet.
So in those links, in one he said they were going to commit harder to their studios and they went out and bought a bunch of them. What a liar. /s
