Xbox boss doesn’t believe Sony is “doing a better job” shipping more exclusives
Comparison’s between the output of Xbox and PlayStation when it comes to exclusive games have been happening since the dawn of consoles, and will continue to happen. Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, however, believes Microsoft has been doing a better job at this recently.
Speaking to GamesIndustry, Spencer said he’s very proud of the games shown at the company’s E3 presser. “When I look at this year, I’ll just take the E3 conferences… we showed four big games launching exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10,” he began. “When I think about Gears, Forza Horizon, ReCore, Dead Rising 4 – all of those games are launching this year and they’ve been announced, there are dates next to them.”
“And I think on the indie side, we’ve got Inside which I’ve been playing. We’ve got We Happy Few. We’ve got Below. We’ve got Cuphead. There are a ton more, but I’m just thinking about some real highlights in indie games that are coming this year. “When I watch the other platforms, it’s not always clear to me when the games are shipping or how many of them are shipping this year.”
I don't own any of those consoles and don't engage in their wars, but I just have to say this is not a shade, it's just a lame a** comment. Sometimes it's just better for the product to have time to get finished properly than work under given deadlines, and in the gaming industry, I think this holds even more importantly, since there are so many things that can go wrong. So you can stick your "fixed dates"....on your fridge.
