Xboxは昨年に引き続き東京ゲームショウに合わせて「Xbox Digital Broadcast」を配信した。XboxのボスであるMicrosoft Gaming CEOのフィル・スペンサー氏も来日し、Xboxコミュニティやパブリッシングパートナーと相次いで面会。一般公開日初日の23日には会場にも直接足を運び、日本のゲームファンとの交流を愉しんだ。ビジネスデイではなく、わざわざ一般公開日に訪れるのは、スペンサー氏がゲームファンと直接触れ合いたいからで、トラブルがないように対応するスタッフは大変だろうが、コミュニティを最も重視するスペンサー氏らしいこだわりだ。
Oh, I don’t know about that. He’s got this fascade of I’m just like you, but then goes and acts exactly like every other Microsoft exec from the past 30 years. I know you’ll want to compare him to Don Mattrick to excuse that. Oh, he’s a good guy… in comparison. Nope.
He is actively seeking to damage the industry as a whole to further his career ambitions inside Microsoft and to make Microsoft crazy money in 20 years. He’s a bully in the industry, and just like every other big tech disruption from the past decade and a half, from Uber to netflix, none of it is in favor of the consumer

Currently? Not really, not one thing he has said has head of Xbox has turned out to be true.
He seems nice and is probably a gamer. But if Microsoft doesn’t profit enough on games I believe all the niceness will quickly disappear.
