Was this a problem before? Everyone knew what the issue with halo was. They accepted it needed more time. But Phil has to do his daily attention whoring and bring negative attention to an issue that was pretty much forgiven already. This guy really needs his spotlight time reduced. He is just hurting the brand more trying to spin when spin is not needed.

He's literally answering questions he's being asked. If you really think Phil is hurting the Xbox brand, then I just don't know what to say. Imagine if Don was still in charge, Xbox might not being be around anymore. At least the future looks bright for the Xbox brand, where at the beginning of last gen, there was no way anyone could say the same thing confidently. 

Don might have been much worse, does not take away from phil being bad. And I dont mean the way he has handled xbox, cuz there has been some improvements even tho none of their acquisitions have bared any fruit and dont seem to untill at least 2022. But his constant PR spin is detrimental. Theres no need for interviews or 20 tweets a day. He is like the trump of gaming. 

Grounded even in early access has been played by 5 million people :). But I can see how it’s frustrating. When he talks people like us dissect it. Those who don’t want to hear him are suckered in to the conversation, just like now lol. 

In the end his interviews get us gamers talking Xbox like it or not. While Sony stays largely quiet. In the end I think many are jelly only Xbox execs talking...because I’m 100% sure if Sony execs talked more you guys would eat it up. 

Its mostly cuz most of the time he is on, something negative looms over the xbox brand. This time is the lack of games wich has plagued xbox for years. Even if he tried to talk about something possitive he would be draged down to talk about the negative cuz fans ask questions then eyes focus on that and all he will say sounds like spin. you even see this happen in holliwood when some bigshot makes a mistake, the worst thing to do is do a pr tour apologizing. Its best to wait untill it passes while working to fix it in the background and once you got it done then bragg from the rooftops. Because you cant tell me you are happy always being on the defensive for this guy. 

And no, sony does not need to be live for us. They are doing great and the hype is through the roof and while the world was claiming week console and the like they said nothing, games came out and did the talking. This is what phil does not get.
