Phil Spencer is the reason why xbox it's failing, Microsoft made a big mistake to put Phil as a CEO at Xbox. He has to go.

phil spencer should not have been xbox ceo
he said only lies over the years
lied about xbox series x power
he didn't keep many promises
lied about xbox games quality
phil is the enemy of xbox he killed xbox and made it a disaster

i don't know how people think phil saved xbox, phil actually made xbox worse

Also..

he plans to put other storefronts on the Xbox console, it will change Xbox forever and it will have massive ramifications on Xbox itself, if sales on the platform are already low on their own storefront right now, imagine if they alow other storefronts on the console? it will destroy Xbox even further and in the future it will put regulators against wall garden consoles like PlayStation and Nintendo, it will screw our consoles too so that all consoles need to have other storefronts, this man is destroying the entire industry and accelarating the death of console gaming at an insane pace

What are you talking about? Phil Spencer is a fucking visionary; I now have more exclusives to look forward to on PlayStation than ever before.

They need to give the man a rise.

Also, just a word of advice, you should probably flesh out your opening posts a bit more, perhaps giving some quotes or facts from articles for people to discuss.

We usually remove many low-detailed posts; I hope that helps and welcome to forums.

Apparently you weren't able to play free games like fortnite on Xbox until 2022. I might be wrong though.

But Sony just came out completely swinging with the Ps4, they also gave out games with PS+ which was incredible at that time. Also the game sharing and used games and price, while pushing kinect..

Also Phil's emails about buying out sony out of business, buying Nintendo/zenimax/Warner bros is so cringe.

While also buying out Inxile, Ninja theory, obsidian, zenimax. Which all had games on Playstation just to make them no longer available on Playstation, (Hellblade 2, Starfield, Outer worlds 2, etc.)

While sony hasnt done with a single IP or acquisition, sure they acquired bungie, but it's still releasing games on Xbox.

MS is buying stuff out just so they won't release stuff on PS, while the exclusives PS has were never out Xbox, such as bluepoint IPs, and guerilla back in 2005, or they're just acquiring solid studios which have no games.

You really have to think how absolutely horrible the console industry would be if sony didn't exist to give competition.

I don't think Phil Spencer is the cause xbox as a brand was in decline at the backend of the 360s lifecycle long before he had decision making power.
Incidentally, Phil became head of Xbox Game Studios (or whatever MS called first party) back then. So, his damage on the brand started even before the Xbone announcement.

There's a reason people refer to Hulst as "Sony's Phil Spencer".

He is the reason why Xbox has been failing since at least 2008.

All along their main problem has been that their games fucking suck and this dude was put in charge of that for the second half of the 360 gen (before that he was destroying Rare and Lionhead).

Over 15 years in charge and the dude has nothing to show for it, not a single relevant high quality new IP. Halo, Gears and Forza beaten to death. Is there even a single prestige studio that this dude was able to nurture over this time?

All their hardware problems, bad decisions and abusive behavior would be but footnotes if they actually had been showing up with high quality games for the past 15.

Bethesda and ABK acquisitions aren't going to help at all with their quality problem as well, even before they were bought they were already struggling big time on that front and I doubt Phil Spencer will be the guy to fix it.

Phil Spencer has been PlayStation MVP all this time.

Replace him with anyone else and it doesnt change anything.

Hes just a frontman. Decision has been made behind him.
Nope, dude has been given pretty much limitless resources and time and still failed miserably. It's incredible actually, that MS is somehow satisfied with his work.

xbox is dying because they lost bungie, they lost almost all their big 360-era exclusives, and they completely failed to establish new hits. they allowed playstation to catch up to them in online multiplayer features, and they ran out of ideas to stay ahead. then they committed public suicide with the Xbox One drm, kinect, overpriced, underpowered, TV-focused agenda.

The rot is deeper than phil spencer.

for most of those, Phil was responsible for it. it is literally was his job.

but of course, Phil is not responsible.

Xbox wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Spencer lmao

Xbox was beyond dead back in 2016 or so. Xbox barely had 4 studios under their umbrella.

He certainly extended the lifetime of the platform convincing Nadella to believe on Xbox and the possible future of a subscription ecosystem. (Nadella loves subscriptions)

However, like others have pointed out, he's just a clown in front of the crap show. Replace him with anyone, and nothing will change at this moment.

how i am twisting anything? you wrote what you wrote, and i wrote that he is responsible because he was responsible.

what would be twisting if you wrote that he isn't responsible and i would agree with you because that he wasn't responsible when in fact he was.
