Yes sure... Just like Phil Spencer was very front with Tomb Raider exclusivity deal right?

Or there was a very big need to clarify that Xbox had a very good SSD.

Or there was a need to confirm UE5 was available on XSX.

Or that Destiny was going to Xbox.

There are so many examples of him going out of his way to try and bath in the spotlight of others that it is shameless. It is always he crying wolf when others do the practices his company was doing until they didn`t got leverage for it anymore... I`m certain he was in a urge to tell when the new Yakuza was going to show on Playstation. Owww he didn`t, neither did Sony. Because Sony respects the agreements MS got and only talk about their own stuff.

I forgot what Phil said about Tomb Raider, but I’m pretty sure nobody believed Xbox got full exclusivity. It was timed and we all knew it. There was a big need to clarify the Xbox SSD, Sony (and their fans) made it seem like their SSD came from God himself. There was a VERY big need to clarify that yes, many Xbox Studios use UE for their games and no, Sony studios do not in fact use UE much at all. Destiny Sony marketing rights all but made the Xbox version non existent to the general gaming public.

Hey he ain’t perfect but he’s doing a service. Sony is by far much more vague when they show gaming trailers in terms of platform availability. 

MS reveal of the game gave the ilusion of full exclusivity. Phil stayed silent until he was pesterized with questions and confirmed it was timed (but didn't say the lenght) and SE wasn't allowed to say anything.

All the games Sony revealed from 3rd parties on the show had very clear information of timed exclusivity.

MS just prefered to use the most unclear information possible.

Phil doesn't really wan't transparency, he wants to have the information as favorable as possible for Xbox, so if he is the one saying he will omit, if other company is saying he will run to "clarify".

Just keep an eye on the news reported here, whenever there is a new about Playstation you'll certainly find something of MS commenting or competing, when there is a new about Xbox you won't see anything from Sony commenting on it.
