Spencer only said that because MS wasn't ponying up the cash for big timed exclusive deals anymore. If the shoe was on the other foot, he'd be taking those deals left and right.

You can have your assumptions. All I can speak for is the evidence out there. MS has been marketing tons of 3rd party games this year and last. Since Spencer made the comment, I haven't see any deals including times exclusive content for same day release titles. If there has been, please point them out. 

The evidence is staring you in the face, but you can choose to ignore it. Xbox had these deals last gen and the beginning of this gen. However, MS wasn't going to spend that kind of money on XBO anymore. Instead of taking a PR hit, Spencer spun it as him hating these deals so he wouldn't do them anymore. Even though he most likely played a role in getting them last gen and the beginning of this gen, as well as full games as timed exclusives for XBO even after that comment, albeit smaller ones.

We'll see how deep his hate for this kind of stuff really goes at the beginning of next gen, when MS gives him another shot at making Xbox a success.
