Nintendo and Sony each have very different strategies for strategy and game consoles. In the past few years, Microsoft has made its own way for Xbox and its services. This is no coincidence, because they are deliberately unique.
In an interview with GamesRadar, Xbox head Phil Spencer explained that this is something we should be grateful for, and said that this is following in the footsteps of Nintendo and Sony:
“Our strategy is not to be like everyone else. Sometimes I hear “This or that game, what will your version be?”. I have worked in this industry for a long time, and I respect all platforms Creators, I know many, many creators. But if what we do is different from what other platforms are doing, that’s great. We are not just trying to create a green version of other people’s blue or red platforms. This Not the example of creativity I want to see in the gaming industry.”
Spencer also added that with the development of the video game industry, everyone will have room. He believes that it is not necessary for someone to lose in order for someone to win:
“For us, to succeed, I don’t think there is another company that must become smaller. I hope this industry will continue to develop and accelerate its growth. If you buy a Switch, you want to play “, and I happened to buy a Playstation for my child… If they can’t play together, for me, it won’t help the game development. This war may help a device Overcome another device, but it does not help the industry as a whole. I believe that in the long run, focusing on the fun of the players, the accessibility and accessibility of the game is the correct strategy. I think the industry will move towards this One direction, because this is what the gamers need.”
Do you think Spencer made a valid point, or should Microsoft try more closely to follow the strategies of Nintendo and Sony?
