The head of the Xbox division seems willing to make clear certain matters that have emerged as rumors, and that have taken on an enormous magnitude
Today has been a mixed day, in a way, when there has been speculation about the arrival of games like Starfield or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to Playstation 5. And the rumor has continued to grow, to the point of letting it be known that Phil Spencer will go on CNBC to clarify Xbox rumors. It can be said that the last few weeks have been chaos for the interests of some, where the loss of exclusives and certain cuts have dynamited the trust of the most traditional community.
And this whole mess has been created through rumors. Rumors that have been taking on such a large magnitude that it is practically taken for granted that all Xbox games will reach the rest of the platforms. The force of the rumor mill on social networks is so exaggerated, to the point of giving in and ensuring that the console war was over.
And it is precisely the need to clarify things that seems to have led the head of the Xbox division to come out on stage. According to some media reports, Phil Spencer will go on CNBC to clarify the Xbox rumors. As we see in the post published by GOAT Gamingat 20:00 GMT, one more hour in Spain, Phil Spencer will be on CNBC to talk about this matter.
An issue that is not new, but that does not mean it is completely clear. The changes that are taking place around Xbox seem to clash with the predisposition of many users to understand how they want to maintain this business. We are seeing that neither of the two consoles are knowing how to keep their games exclusively traditional. The PC market is covered as a potential market to obtain additional income to what the consoles themselves can offer, assuming that the new exclusivity was that it did not see the light of day on the rival console.
This has led communities to a fierce fight in a console war that has not favored the gaming community. This unhealthy fight has had a major setback today for those that give more importance to exclusive quality than to product quality. Meanwhile, the interests of a company like Xbox, intended to offer services and increasingly willing to offer itself to any user, wherever. In the absence of an open market for Cloud Gaming, Enabling certain games on more platforms and boosting sales and income may be the main motivation to be able to get more performance out of certain products.
This does not mean that anything is denied or confirmed. At least until Phil Spencer officially communicates it, it seems that the intention is to open up. But, To what extent are they going to offer games to other platforms? Will there be untouchable licenses? Let’s hope we can find out in said interview to prevent the snowball from turning into an avalanche.
