Τον τελευταίο καιρό, ειδικά μετά το PlayStation Experience 2016 event της Sony, δεκάδες είναι οι χρήστες που έχουν βομβαρδίσει τον λογαριασμό του Phil Spencer στο Twitter με προτάσεις, ερωτήσεις και παρατηρήσεις σχετικά με το line-up παιχνιδιών του Xbox για το άμεσο μέλλον. Ο επικεφαλής του Xbox, όπως συνηθίζει, απάντησε σε πολλούς χρήστες εξηγώντας τι θεωρεί προοδευτικό για την gaming βιομηχανία, καθώς και τους λόγους που δεν υποστηρίζει τα marketing deals για αποκλειστικό περιεχόμενο.
Τόνισε επίσης τους σημαντικούς παράγοντες ώστε ένα νέο IP να δει κάποιο sequel και πως οι ανώτεροι της Microsoft υποστηρίζουν το Xbox και πως για τα καλά και τα κακά ευθύνεται κυρίως αυτός. Τέλος, για το επερχόμενο Project Scorpio απαντώντας σε ένα χρήστη που ήθελε να το προ-παραγγείλει, ανέφερε πως είναι καλύτερο να περιμένει, μέχρι να δει κάτι που θα τον πείσει να αγοράσει την κονσόλα.

@Manfry75 Console gaming needs growth, doesn't happen via existing games/markets. Old keeps core happy, new can grow market. Balance is key.

@JezCorden Sales are part, IP has to have room to expand and team to expand. I'm always learning, sometimes painful, sometimes with a smile.

@fcruzsierra @Manfry75 Back Compat was good as it brought a bunch of nostalgia back without all the games needing to be redone or rebought.

@fcruzsierra @Manfry75 New things should be trying to expand the base of players while appealing to the core. Not all IP/games can do this.

@Sobski117 @Manfry75 Yes, this is balance. Redoing launch portfolio will keep some happy but we should all want all of gaming to be growing.

@Sobski117 @Manfry75 Just hard when so many get caught up in battle between platforms when the real battle is console growth. Growth is key.

@StarkyLuv73 I like new. And sometimes with games like State of Decay you start smaller, build and then do a bigger sequel when things work

@StarkyLuv73 Truth is most games that get started don't finish, most don't even get announced. I like Game Preview, helps with this.

@BeastFireTimdog @Sobski117 @Manfry75 EA Access, FO Mods, Game Preview, xplay , I think move gaming forward. Our 1P IP should do the same.

@BeastFireTimdog @Sobski117 @Manfry75 It's why I love what people are doing with H5 Forge right now, amazing creativity.

@BeastFireTimdog @Sobski117 @Manfry75 Paying marketing funds so another consoles base can't play a piece of content doesn't feel like growth

@bxrocboy People getting worked up on this, Never said Xbox has never done this, not calling out others, just not practice I like, that's it

@Acekidder It's just where people focus energy, I try to stay positive and on making Gaming more relevant and growing, I see that as my job.

@fcruzsierra Feeling in games has come so far. LO was great. I loved Firewatch, Ori, Last of Us etc. Games that make you feel.

@SandiChapar @Xbox Wait until we show you gameplay worth buying, then you can decide on your pre-order.
