Obviously no more under pressure than that, the boss of the division Xbox recently stated that Microsoft doesn’t care about selling more consoles than Nintendo or Sony. Phil Spencer wants as proof the multiplication of platforms on which it is possible to play the same titles of the manufacturer.
If, for its second foray into the field of video game manufacturers, Microsoft had clearly pulled out of the game with the Xbox 360, the rest was more complicated. Confused pre-launch, exclusives shining by their small number … Even the release of the Xbox One X, the most powerful console on the market, was not enough to rebalance the balance on this generation.

Perhaps Microsoft has finally adapted to this situation and done things its own way. In an interview with Gary Whitta on his Twitch Animal Talking show (recently mentioned in our columns about the postponement of Halo Infinite), Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, has indicated that he is not in the war of sales figures.
Xbox: Microsoft wants to multiply access platforms
“If this was our approach [de vendre plus de consoles que Sony et Nintendo], we would not put our games on PC ”, Phil Spencer said via VG247. “We wouldn’t put our games on Xbox One, we wouldn’t do xCloud, and we wouldn’t let people play on their phones.”.
And our man for adding:
“How many consoles do you sell versus how many consoles does another company sell. Whether it was Sony, Nintendo, or other companies at the time, that was not our approach. “
Microsoft’s approach, as explained by the head of the Xbox division, is to build experiences around players such as the Xbox Games Pass and xCloud, with the aim of allowing this audience to access their titles first. -party on a variety of media.
Unless there is a surprise announcement to the contrary, the launch of the Xbox Series X is still scheduled for next November. A guaranteed exit without the presence of Halo Infinite, if he had to be reminded.
