Exclusives on initial sales will not affect: Phil Spencer spoke about the prospects for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S

As you know, new generation consoles Xbox series x and Xbox series s went on sale without high-profile exclusive games. Shooter Halo: Infinite it took additional polishing time, which is why he moved to the next year. A similar fate befell the horror adventure The medium

But as he thinks Phil Spencer, a strong lineup of games at launching new gaming systems is far from being of paramount importance today. The head of the Xbox team has several arguments to defend this position.

First of all, Spencer I am convinced that the limited supply of consoles due to the pandemic this year will still go into the hands of the most hardcore gaming enthusiasts – the lack of high-profile exclusives simply will not stop them

“I understand that there will be publications among the representatives of the press who want to write headlines about comparing the initial projects of the Xbox and PS5. But the fact is that if we manage to sell absolutely all the supplied consoles, then the games with which the systems will enter the market, no they will not make much difference with themselves, except perhaps for additional figures in the reviews.

In this case, the games will not dictate how much we sell our consoles. Sales are not driven by competition, Halo, or starter projects. The only thing that matters in 2023 is the number of boxes that we have collected and delivered to stores, “explains Phil Spencer.

On the other hand, Spencer is well aware that such a situation is temporary, therefore, in a year, expensive and attractive projects for a wide audience will become a really important aspect of the development of the gaming business Microsoft

“The launch of Xbox Series S / X with Halo: Infinite is just a question of our branding, an emotional moment for fans, not something critical for the first months of sales. But the holiday season of 2023 is already the period when games begin to play a serious role in relation to direct competition. By that time, I very much hope, there will be absolutely no problems with supplies, which means that the audience will not worry about the opportunity to buy this or that platform, but about the advantages that this purchase will provide them ” Phil Spencer concluded.

Consoles Xbox series x and Xbox series s are available for purchase today.
