Yes. In fact, the next time he sees a PS executive in person, he should offer to fight them right there and then.
Yeah, maybe this thread's misguided. I have no idea what Phil's doing behind the scenes, just what he shows us in public, and I really like how genuine and humble he comes across as.
I have thread-maker's remorse. The mods can close it if they want.
People here think that these companies are lurking on Era all day every day with some of the things I see posted like "Thanks [Company]!" in response to a sale or a free game or information released.Like do you really think someone in the position of Phil Spencer needs tips on how to do his job or if he's doing his job well from random posters on the ResetEra message boards?
losing COD lost them like 40 million players at least it feels like.
They could have purchased 20 new studios. It wouldn't have made up for losing COD
if you want it closed, i'd recommend reporting your own opening post to say you would like to see the thread closedYeah, maybe this thread's misguided. I have no idea what Phil's doing behind the scenes, just what he shows us in public, and I really like how genuine and humble he comes across as.

wasn't this exactly microsofts' approach throughout the first 2 iterations of the xbox? & isn't this exactly the approach that, half-way through this gen, ms decided to abandon? because it wasn't working?...
I mean, they went from getting destroyed sales wise to taking a very significant portion of marketshare from xbox to 360.
It definitely worked at the time because they had the right console, tons of amazing games and aggresive deals with third party.
Warriors out in full blast this week because........war.....war never changes.
Right.How has he not been aggressive?
Bought a ton of high caliber studios
Going nuts with Game Pass
Will have the most powerful next gen console
I think it's unfortunate that Sony is paying for third party exclusivity and I don't want Microsoft to go down that path again so I think it's good they're not doing that at this point. I'd wish Sony knock that shit off though. If that's what we're considering aggressive behavior, they can fuck right off with that.

I agree. Sony money hats it's way into COD exclusive content, Destiny exclusive content, etc, Final Fantasy VII remaster, etc. I don't necessarily want that out of XBOX, but there's no point in just standing there and taking it if you keep getting punched in the mouth. All these folks preaching kumbaya on here also own a PlayStation for the shitty reasons and cosign that practice when they buy the machine and validate their strategy.
Can you articulate that a little better because "do your role" makes no sense.
This is always so simplistic and unimaginative. Guess what, I am not a captain of a boat but I bet I could give a couple of pointers to the guy steering the Titanic.
Maybe people also own a PlayStation because they aren't console warriors like you seem to be.
It's simplistic because the 'advice' to the captain is always 'don't steer into icebergs, yo'. Xbox is not Titantic becuase Aaron Greenberg gets your goat, ffs.
Cheers for that, says cap'n.
Uh....this right hear doesn't sound good to me to be honestHe really shouldn't be so supine about it, he should be a bit pissed off and driven to do something in response that specifically serves his customers.
I know, I think Doug Bowser and the head of Sony feels the same, but they stay quiet uuntil after the presentation. Don't get me wrong, he's doing his role as boss well, It's just the expectations he sets when he open his mouth that he needs to control.
so you feel that we've now somehow returned back to that time?
Yeah because of the rest of the world, Xbox doesn't have that privledge so they need CODThei didn't lost COD... PS3 sold 80 million without COD marketing deals
He should challenge them to push ups. Loser forfeits rights to one of the exclusive ip.Yes. In fact, the next time he sees a PS executive in person, he should offer to fight them right there and then.
Of course it's a war. Ask Zune owners. Ask Windows Phone owners. It's a war and if you don't play it well you go to bye bye. Business is competition. You don't need to be an ass about it but you have to compete.
He talks to Xbox fans, don't people want game companies to be more open ?? Its also his job to hype his own show, the heads of the other companies don't tend to communicate on twitter or even interact with people really.
yeah you can see it in his eyes, the man is carrying a deadly spirit
