what I have been reading on those 'other' forums
is that some are indeed buying the Xbox because of phil... lol
I have heard he was a class act at E3 he congratulated sony and Nintendo
whereas sony took jabs at Microsoft
I give a coupla quotes but not link to the forum
for just being a class act at E3.While Sony was making pop shots at Microsoft, Phil was congratulating Nintendo and Sony on their success.
But I do know this, if it weren't for Phil Spencer I wouldn't of bought one.
The xboss has that effect on people
Ultimately though, what finally swung the pendulum back to the xbox camp was Phil Spencer's attitude / demeanor
feel like I can trust him in the driver's seat
He looks like a gamer. Casual guy who people can look at and not think of some corporate boss just wanting to make profits. He seems to genuinely care about gaming and that's why I am confident in Xbox.
Phil has done a fantastic job being very transparent with gamers, the primary focus of the product. With that transparency, he also opened a dialogue with us, proving that it is still the consumer that is in the driver seat. He's done some fantastic things, and I have high hopes for the future!

Microsoft made the right, if not belated, decision of
appointing 20-year company veteran Phil Spencer to the position of Head of Xbox earlier this year, according to Capybara Games (
Super Time Force,
Below) president Nathan Vella. Speaking with
GamesIndustry International, Vella sung Spencer's praises through and through.
"Phil is the best case scenario for Xbox, by a f***ing million miles," Vella said. "To me it's inconceivable that he wasn't doing it before. I have a lot of respect for the guy and he's been a huge supporter of the studio."
Part of the reason why Vella, and gamers alike, seem to like Spencer so much is because he is known for his
considerably candid comments and for his willingness to interact with fans on Twitter.
"He's a guy who will actually listen to people who tweet at him or message him on Xbox Live," Vella said. "He'll actually read it, and that's not that normal. But now it is normal for both Microsoft and Sony. And I think that's very interesting. That's them working in the present, living in the time we're working in. And I think that's going to be nothing but positive for both platforms... Both platforms have done way better than anybody expected. Part of that reason is because people are excited about new games, but the other part of it is that there are reasons for them to be excited. There are things they asked for that are in there, changes that got made when they asked them to be made."
