Xbox Series X and the absence of exclusives at launch: Phil Spencer is not afraid for sales

During a recent interview with Shacknews microphones, Phil Spencer revealed his point of view about the importance of the launch lineup of a new console and how the absence of exclusive titles is not having any impact on the success of the Xbox. Series X | S.

Here are the words of the Xbox boss:

"I already know that some publications will compare the launch lineups of Series X | S and PS5. both consoles have sold out everywhere, I don't think the launch lineup will affect that much outside of a possible rating with a vote. This factor won't affect the number of units we're going to sell. Determining the number of consoles sold won't it will be the competition or the launch of a new Halo, but the quantity of pieces we will be able to produce. "

"We saw it, the pre-orders sold out within a few hours and it shows that there is competition. At the moment there is great demand for home consoles and we are making sure to produce the as much as possible. I think if we had Halo Infinite it would have been positive from a brand image point of view but not as impactful on launch. "

It therefore seems that Spencer is convinced that the launch lineup is not central to the offer of the Xbox Series X and Series S and it is likely that he wants to bet everything on the presence of services such as the acclaimed Xbox Game Pass, which just yesterday it received a new injection of titles as well as a substantial amount of free updates that enhance the games on the next generation consoles.
