He's not producing anything. He's managing and organizing resources given to him by Microsoft.
He had very little to work with until 2018, when Microsoft took the leash off him.
Games take longer than 2-3 years to produce. You begin judging him in 2021/2022, not today.
But again, everyone here already knows this. Sony fanboys are concern trolling.
Wow, what a load of horse crud. He is
in charge of Xbox. Of course the responsibility falls to him on what is being released for the platform and he got started in 2014! Day one he should have been laying the course for new releases to hit 2-3 years out from that point. Which means the rewards should have been able to be reaped starting way back in 2016, or 2017 at the latest. Now he had a "leash" from Microsoft that was stopping him? A leash on the
head of the division??
So now you're saying that because games take 2-3 years to develop, but he was off the leash in 2018, we can't start judging until 2021-2022? Two years from 2018 is .... 2020 my man, NOT 2022. So even by your completely random and misguided metrics we should still be judging their output now!
With the latest news people who actually want Xbox to be good (like myself) instead of just defending a brand they like, should be really worried. There are basically no games coming. Stop using The Medium and Scorn. Go look at Scorn gameplay videos on YouTube and see where that looks like it's going to fall quality wise. And Phil is out there saying this they are crushing it basically.
Here is the thing that a lot of people don't seem to understand. People and organizations don't just "change" for the better. They are not victims of circumstance. It starts with leadership and goes from there. You need the right people from the beginning. Phil's output is not going to just radically take a different course.
We've had seven years of Phil Spencer. We know what Xbox is like under his leadership. It's a known entity at this point. You either think he's the right man for the job based on nearly a decade of evidence, or he needs to go.
In my opinion, the answer couldn't be more clear what needs to happen.
