Phil Spencer: they've got some surprises planned for Xbox fans

Microsoft was missing from the game Awards 2014 event wherever Sony had alittle presence and teased some games. However, Sony’s own event–PlayStation Experience–had plenty of reveals including an announcement that Street f!ghter five are going to be console exclusive to the PS4.

Street f!ghter five PS4/PC exclusivity hasn’t gone down too well with some Xbox fans however Phil spencer, Xbox boss, has revealed that business deals do happen and since they already had a first party franchise in the genre, he didn’t assume it absolutely was wise for them to try and do the same.

   @XboxP3 What did you think of street fighter 5 being an exclusive to PS4/PC? Is there any hope of it coming to xbox one in the near future?

@CapitanoCasella Business deals happen. We won't do all of them. When we have a 1st party franchise in a genre I'd rather invest in ours.

   @XboxP3 @CapitanoCasella Deals like Dead Rising 3 from time to time are fine but a new Ip that you own is better for the future of Xbox

@DobrySer @CapitanoCasella I agree, there is a mix of deals to do but making sure we own IP XBOX gamers love is critical imo.

He also praised the PlayStation Experience event and said that he watched it and thought it was “well done”. He also feels really good about 2015 for Xbox. He also believes that 2015 will be fun year for Xbox fans.

@leedaviebohan PSX was a nice event, good way for Sony to celebrate 20 years. I watched, it was well done. I feel good about 2015 for XBOX.

@leedaviebohan I didn't see ship dates on everything in PSX but I know what our plan is and I think XBOX fans will have a fun 2015.

Phil Spencer is a likable guy and him getting the top post shows the confidence Microsoft has in him as well. Since the Xbox One is looking to win the November NPDs due to all the price cut and game deals, it might just be the boost Microsoft requires to compete even harder with Sony.

@Kriss353 I liked the X0 events. Maybe have our own dedicated event would be better, but having a great E3 and Gamescom is important.

@BRUSH0GUN I'd love it if XBOX fans could play all the games, but business just makes some deals happen. It's all part of competition.
