Changed that to reflect the truth of the situation.  Spencer knows if XBX isn't an instant hit, Xbox HW is on the line.  MS has already cut spending to that department for advertising and exclusives, timed and real.  HW will be the next thing to go.  So, he's throwing any shit at Sony he can, since their gamers are happy and have little interest in an XBO, and it's not working.  And he's throwing love at Nintendo, hoping their fans will choose the XBO over the PS4 as their 2nd console.  Again, not working.

We've had a lot of reports from this thread, from both sides of the argument.

Stop with the snide attacks on each other. You know who you are.

Phil is such a cool guy.

Exactly what did he lie about the power of the X1X.  The specs are right there for all to see, nothing hidden.  Do people just dream up lies and then state them as facts?  Also why do he need to have evidence of his relationship with Nintendo to justify your opinion.  If anything, if he was telling some type of lie I am sure some Nintendo exec would be right oncue to denounce his claim.  Really what do any of us know the business to business relationship any of these companies have.

I guess because you have not liked some of his statements, he is a lier.  There is one thing to not like a person opinion and another to label them as a lier.

I get the sense some people are quite nervous about Nintendo-Microsoft have a warmer relations. Hmmm.

Perfect example of an angy post. And its pointless, - all business execs tell things for PR sake and you would be naive  to think otherwise. And in saying that why does it bother you so much that Phil Spencer makes a positive statement about the relationship between his line of business and the competition. Mate he is a business man and is enetitled to make statements about extending business relationships etc etc. So why take it personally? And in regards to me hugging my xbox I think I should give it to someone more in need of one at the moment 😊 there there don't worry yourself too much about Phil and his bad bad so called lies. Terrible Terrible man. How dare he do his job.

Fixed

You are once again ignoring that HW isn't the only way Microsoft can make money off the Xbox One. There is live revenue, accessories, software, etc. Hell in their quarterly fiscal release they even said their revenue from gaming is doing really well. Just drop this nonsense, you already proved that you don't like Microsoft or Xbox for some reason.

You say Phil keeps saying bullshit things but did you heard the reason why Sony won't allow cross play for Minecraft? Their reason is so LOL worthy that it even if Phil's comments are PR BS(which is not) Sony deserves to be called out even more because of that statement. You know what's actually a big joke? People actually defend Sony for this. If there are people who needs a hug it is people like you who are getting screwed over from them.

Well all 3rd party games have trophies and achievements... so they don't really need MS for that... and Nintendo is quite competent to create the system if they wanted.

Will MS release their exclusives on Switch? Or they want Nintendo games on Xbox?

The hell am I reading? Nintendo has been known to send props XBox's way.
