Phil Spencer Promises Microsoft Is Still Committed To Xbox One

4.5
Over the past few weeks some major concerns have risen regarding the future of Xbox One, and how Microsoft plans to handle its Xbox business overall. Some major Xbox exclusives are being moved to Windows 10 and many like – Gears of War 4, Halo 6, Forza Horizon 3 – are rumored to be in the pipeline.

Microsoft on the other hand has now come forward to explain how Xbox is still its priority, and it isn’t planning on killing the console business or shifting all focus on Windows 10 gaming.

Phil Spencer said that there is a lot of passion among Xbox gamers. However, they do not need to worry about Microsoft’s commitment to Xbox One and Microsoft’s console business.

The fundamental concern that people have is, ‘Are we losing focus on the console?’ ‘Is Microsoft somehow going to back away from our console focus and have us only focus on Windows?’ Absolutely not true. We are more committed to our console and the future of that console than we have ever been

Phil Spencer isn’t the only one, Aaron Greenberg also assured fans during a recent interview.

Aaron Greenberg:

People should know: Xbox is a big priority and a huge commitment,” he said. “Please do not let the fact that we are also launching a game on the same day on Windows 10 change your perspective on the importance of the console business [or] our commitment to innovating on console.

He added:

From our CEO down at Microsoft, there’s tons of commitment and enthusiasm for our [console] business [and] we’re having tremendous success,” Greenberg added, noting that Xbox One exclusive game sales were strong in holiday 2015 and that overall, “business is good

Assurance is always very….reassuring. However, if they bring Halo, Forza Horizon, and Gears to PC there will be a major blow back. They need to make sure there is a balance between Xbox and Windows 10 gaming even if these are being presented as a unified platform.

This is a lie, no matter how you look at it, this is them honeycoating. do you honestly think they fix problems?
Otherwise Xbox wouldn't be lacking behind PlayStation.

There still going to be commuted to it because its making them money, but they need to did the problems.

SeamPosted:

I think the main problem people are losing faith in them for is the constant problems they've been having lately.

HarmonPosted:

Of course they're still interested, the console didn't launch too long ago and look at the amount of time and effort they dedicated towards the predecessor, the Xbox 360. They aren't just going to "give up" on a next-gen console which still has so much more to offer.
