Xbox-chefen Phil Spencer har i en intervju under China Joy-konferensen återigen bekräftat att Microsoft kommer att fokusera mer och mer på förstapartsexklusiviteter. Spencer säger att Microsoft fortfarande kommer att vilja ha en god relation med tredjepartsutgivarna, men det kommer att bli sällsynt med tredjepartsexklusiviteter av olika slag, som till exempel tidsexklusiva Rise of the Tomb Raider.
"My strategy is more around our own first party franchises, and investing in franchises that we own, and probably fewer exclusive deals for third party content. I want to have strong third party relations, but paying for many third party exclusives isn't our long term strategy. This year, the fact that we're shipping Halo 5, Gears of War, Forza 6, Fable, we can only do that and build that best line-up we've ever seen really on the back of franchises that we own. It's great to have Tomb Raider as part of our line-up, but investing in first party, you'll see more of that at Gamescom next week, is really core to our strategy."
Så vad tycker du, är det smart av Microsoft att fokusera på sina förstapartsspel, eller löper de nu risken att som Nintendo stöta bort tredjepartsutgivarna?
