Efter demonstrationen av Xbox One var det många som fruktade att de funktioner som visades upp inte skulle fungera utanför USA. I en intervju med Official Xbox Magazine slår dock Microsoft Game Studios-bossen Phil Spencer fast att Europa är vitkigt och att det inte är fråga om en konsol för bara amerikaner.
"Europe is a critical market for us next generation", slår Spencer fast.
Han säger även: "There are markets in Europe where we need to do better, and our lead there in bringing on Phil Harrison is how do we bring on a senior executive who can look across all parts of our business with a background of creating success in Europe and give him that charter."
Spencer fortsätter: "And specifically, in some of the southern European markets, its very important that we up our game there relative to the competition, because it's an area where there's opportunity for us."
"Knock on wood, our strength in the US is something that we'll continue to focus on, but now having Phil on that team in Europe is really going to be a catalyst, hopefully for us achieving more in Europe", avslutar Spencer.
