Spencer: "The biggest demand is Shenmue"


Newly appointed head of the Xbox division , Phil Spencer has played the game of questions and answers along with the cream of the American press.

He said in effect at Venturebeat :

For me , over the past 12 months, I found that the comments , both positive and negative , fans of the Xbox brand , are extremely important in the construction of our strategy. Many of them stayed with us for many years . They grew up with some of the franchises that we have built . They want to be fans of what we do and the products we manufacture. Be in contact with the community is an extremely important part with a consumer product like the Xbox. I want to make sure that we listen.

This is something in which I invested time. Build that relationship . Go to events. Being active on Twitter. This relationship remains paramount in how we build the program. This really is what emerges from discussions with Satya Nadella , our new CEO.

He also explained that Elop remains " Head of the devices " , ie under his direction. Spencer points out that today's consoles have to play , but not that . The multimedia nature of the Xbox One will therefore not be forgotten, even if the game is " the heart of the Xbox " experience.

Living with Polygon , Spencer emphasizes its position in a broadcast on March 31 article:

With me, you'll get an update before everything about the game and a better platform to play. This is not a point that we lost , but it is one I will emphasize at Microsoft. It really will be a focus on the game and my new role allows us to make this happen .

New IP in which we invest , what is happening in Japan, what do we do with Halo ... It's my job to make the best content . With a mixture of things that we bring the past, like Killer Instinct , which was a success , as well as new licenses, as Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive and other unannounced things.

Always with Polygon , Spencer explains that the greatest demand means that Xbox owners is that Microsoft brings Shenmue , the unfinished work of Sega and Yu Suzuki. "The big Shenmue case ," he said smiling, according to the journalist . This is certainly not the first time that Spencer talks about the work of Yu Suzuki.

In all cases , the head of the Xbox division recalls that E3 will be huge , and we will learn more about the future of Xbox One at this event . We can not wait .
