Phil Spencer: Xbox Series didn’t need a system seller at launch

Don't need to do ALL this workaround tô defend Phill. Just ask yourself the question, If Halo Infinite launched with the console would be say It isn't important to have a good launch lineup? Since you know he wouldn't then it's quite obvious he is doing damage Control.

And at the same time you should ask yourself  one question, if Halo Infinite were launching with X|S and was phenomenal and rated 95 meta, how many more X|S consoles would be sold at launch versus what is being sold now? The answer of course, is zero. 

I doubt you read the interview, he was asked directly about the Halo Infinite delay and launching without a “marquee game” as a result. So yeah, obviously if Halo Infinite wasn’t delayed, he wouldn’t have been asked that question and thus wouldn’t have given that answer. That’s called common sense, not “damage control”.

The good thing about you is that you are consistent. And you are consistently wrong. I read It and you seem to be the one to Go in denial. Again I already Said the lineup wouldn't change Sales as It would be sold out regardless, basically determined by production with pre-orders working as thermostate. But he used It as a way tô deflect the problem that wasn't only Halo missing, but he doesn't have a single 1st party. And when innevitally PS5 numbers show and we know It Will be bigger what Will be the excuse? They couldn't produce more?
