"Microsoft made the right, if not belated, decision of appointing 20-year company veteran Phil Spencer to the position of Head of Xbox earlier this year, according to Capybara Games (Super Time Force, Below) president Nathan Vella. Speaking with GamesIndustry International, Vella sung Spencer's praises through and through.
"Phil is the best case scenario for Xbox, by a f***ing million miles," Vella said. "To me it's inconceivable that he wasn't doing it before. I have a lot of respect for the guy and he's been a huge supporter of the studio."
"He's a guy who will actually listen to people who tweet at him or message him on Xbox Live," Vella said. "He'll actually read it, and that's not that normal. But now it is normal for both Microsoft and Sony. And I think that's very interesting. That's them working in the present, living in the time we're working in. And I think that's going to be nothing but positive for both platforms... Both platforms have done way better than anybody expected. Part of that reason is because people are excited about new games, but the other part of it is that there are reasons for them to be excited. There are things they asked for that are in there, changes that got made when they asked them to be made."
...they liked the price drop as well...go figure...why??...
"Anything that gets more people playing Xbox One is great," he said. "There's a lot of power in the hands of players. And in some cases, you've got to listen to what they want. Even if you're only listening to the most vocal 20 percent or whatever, that's still a huge audience of people. And those people wanted a Kinect-less Xbox One."
Hmmm...nice shirt Phil.
