Mobile was "gap in our portfolio", Phil Spencer says. Microsoft lawyer points to related internal communications (about the importance of mobile games to Microsoft).

He said they had 1,000 possible mobile targets...
I feel like if MS/Xbox were to get anymore studios, they would have to have a mobile presence, correct me if I'm wrong. Kinda rules out of lot of studios. :/
I know Japanese studios have a lot of those gatcha games like Street Fighter and such though.

This may be an attempt to counter the FTC's claims that Microsoft is actually willing to eat losses to ignore its financial models in the short term, keep CoD off PlayStation, lose money because of that, but win long-term

Doesn't Sony own the film rights to Spider-man while Disney owns the merchandise rights? I'm assuming that made it easy to get the ip for gaming.

Sony only owns the film rights, Disney own basically everything else, from the character itself, to the merchandise, to the videogame rights and I believe they share certain TV Show rights (or own them outright).
And even at that, I think Sony's film rights are only a license which is renewed every certain amount of years.

Plan is that users will come to that new store to find Xbox apps but also third-party apps.

Launch of a store is critical part of Microsoft*s strategy and a high-risk part. Key thing here is not just to launch a store today and find users, but to gain exposure for the store through engagement with games like Candy Crush.

This segment is a really interesting deep dive into Xbox's business, Lol.
Monthly meetings with the CFO and weekly check ins on metrics with the CFO

This whole segment is just completely dismantling the "Xbox has a blank cheque" stuff, Gaddamn.
Phil has a seriously stressful job. Microsoft is REALLY watching over.
Phil Spencer: "This deal has nothing to do with growing Xbox share."

Phil Spencer, together with Microsoft's CEO, had a conversation with Sony Group's CEO. Explained rationale, wanted to remain partners by shipping games on their platform. Sony Group CEO apparently reacted positively. Longer conversation with Jim Ryan but he understood.
