Phil Spencer is interested in bringing PlayStation and Nintendo games to Xbox
The head of Xbox is interested in offering PlayStation and Nintendo titles on this platform, but at the same time, he does not expect the same from his competitors.
Recently , Phil Spencer , the head of Xbox, had an interview with Stephen Tutillo's Game File media about Microsoft's recent plans. He explained that their plan to release four Xbox games on other consoles was not to force competitors to follow suit: "It's not like a trade-in system to me. "We did this for Xbox's commercial interests."
Of course, he welcomes the release of works from other platforms on Xbox and pointed out that this action is especially suitable for multiplayer works; Because having a large online community is important to the game's survival. "When I look at a game like Helldivers 2, which is a great game, and I congratulate the team that made it for PlayStation and PC, I don't see how it's good for the [video game] industry not to have it on Xbox," Spencer said. "If you're not honest with yourself, you can say it was a good fit for someone."
But he understands this exclusivity: "Of course I understand. There is a legacy in console gaming that we will benefit from by not releasing works on other platforms. We do the same thing." The head of Xbox then pointed out that Hell Divers 2, which was released simultaneously on PlayStation and PC, did well on PC: "I would say that releasing more titles on more platforms and making it available to more people is a good part of the game business. "
This week , the future president of PlayStation, Hiroki Totoki, said that he wants to be more aggressive in monetizing the company's gaming division, which can be done by focusing more on the release of first-party titles on PC. In the meeting with the shareholders, he said that he feels that the multi-platform release of first-party works will be the future plan of the PlayStation developer; However, he later clarified that he meant only the release on PC.
