Blast from the past. Crazy that this was real.has he though?Spoiler for Hidden:
He's done a great job leading xbox but their first party games are just as bad today as they were 9 years ago.
no doubt he is the industry leader of using social media. he's got no scruples and therefore is always saying exactly what fans want to hear. but is he really being a good leader?
okay first off the things in that chart:
1. xbox coming to china announced 1 month after spencer. do you really think that was a spencer decision?? clearly that was an effort years in the making. you don't just walk up to china and get approval to enter their market 30 days later...
2. kinectless xbox? does it take leadership to read the internet and realize that launching $100 more expensive due to an expansive peripheral is a thing people didn't like?
3. adding games with gold? does it take leadership to realize that sony was releasing games with ps+ and that made their service more attractive?
so what has he done in the 8.5 years after that first six months? what are we pointing to that makes xbox soo good? has there been anything out of xbox worth celebrating outside of gamepass?
listen,.. when 343i is publicly criticizing "leadership" as the reason halo failed it's not a big leap to say "leadership = spencer". even if spencer didn't make any particular decision himself he hired the guy that did. honestly if you group xbox's first party into
A) under spencer's leadership
B) recently acquired so that recent games are not to be credited/blamed on spencer
...then i would say that xbox first party games under A are probably worse than ever.
xbox is being kept afloat by acquisitions from the success (aka $$) from MS's other divisions like Azure.
