You dont need to be a hater to not believe a word that comes out of phil spencer mouth, he is a PR guy, he tells his crowd what they want to listen , the " papa phil spencer saved xbox " type of crowd. I will never understand the jerking off to guys like phill spencer and the amount of attention press gives him everytime he farts a tweet gaming journos make a article sometimes they squeeze and make 2 or 3 with a bunch of nothing. This thread about the fact that he reveal this ( if its real true devs said it is not ) ahead of time was stupid as fuck because its taking money from the devs , people can spin this all they want but there is only negatives to the makers of the game. Or he is dumb or this was a little bit malicious pr , IMO its just proof he needs to shut his mouth more.

Actually, you are incorrect.  Phil is not a PR guy, he is the head of the whole game division at MS.  If anything you are getting the strategy from the guy who calls the shots on all gaming related issues at MS.  Phil cannot just tell people what they want to hear because if it doesn't happen he is held accountable for it and people will come back at him on what he stated.  So yes, when Phil farts a tweet its much bigger than someone like Major Nelson stating something.  Maybe you do not understand the position that Phil holds within MS.  He only have one person he reports to and that is the CEO.

So if the person who is in charge of all game related endeavors at MS makes a mistake, then so be it he made a mistake but to act as if Phil is just some office boy seems like you have no clue of the position he holds within the company.

Whenever he is talking public in the name of the company he is a PR.

And he have said a lot of wrong stuff, which were plenty discussed in this site, and I do remember some defense of every blunder he have said.
