Xbox Series X: for Phil Spencer, the console war is counterproductive, companies should help each other

For Phil Spencer, the head of the Xbox division currently very active in releasing interviews related to the Xbox Series X, the console war is counterproductive for the video game industry and the companies should instead help each other to grow, instead of competing on "my piece of plastic is better than your piece of plastic. "

The statement was made in an interview with the Washington Post, where Spencer openly complained about the mentality of those hoping for the failure of a company or its products, stating that in the rest of the entertainment industry, such as in cinema, the same does not happen.

Spencer: "This idea that in order to see the industry grow some companies must be successful and others must fail ... does not help the world of video games to show its true potential. We will have to act on the idea to grow the video game industry, so that creators can take greater risks. When a great game comes out, be it for PC, PlayStation or Switch, we should applaud it. We should focus on this industry loving it to see it grow continuously And we should protect it from the problems that arise. We should invest in these aspects, not in "my piece of plastic is better than your piece of plastic." I don't think this is a constructive way of arguing. "

How can we not subscribe to so much wisdom? Looking forward to the presentation on July 23, when Microsoft finally unveils its Xbox Series X games.
