Microsoft’s Phil Spencer: “This Isn’t a Sprint”

Microsoft has addressed the hostility towards the Xbox One sparked by concerns about its compulsory connectivity requirements and its convoluted approach to used games, renting and lending, gifting, and selling.

“We always knew that our story would play out over time,” said VP at Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer speaking with GameSpot. “And even now, I would say, this isn't a sprint. The platform launches this November; we've got more content to share."

The reaction, I think, is complete when the product is on the shelf.

“There are other means like Gamescom [and] TGS coming that will still continue to put a value [proposition] on what we're bringing to market,” Spencer added. “The reaction, I think, is complete when the product is on the shelf and it has a price and it has a content library and consumers vote.”

See the Xbox One wiki for everything you need to know about the Xbox One, including its caveats on used games, rentals, and lending.
