Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I knew he seemed like a big step up at E3 and all, but I hadn't really heard him much outside of that. I've read some things, but never really heard him in video/audio.
Listened to this week's IGN Podcast Unlocked (Xbox Podcast) in my car some yesterday which is a 1 on 1 interview with Phil Spencer. While sure the dude still has to play the PR game can't be full candid he generally seemed to be forthright and seemed to "get it" compared to Mattrick.
He also seemed more likable than the Sony guys, but that just might be the fact that when Shu is on a podcast despite him knowing some Englush there still is a language barrier to some extent. Plus Phil seemed more willing to take on the questions than whenever Reggie does press.
Like I said sure some of it is just good PR spin, but in general Spencer seemed to understand the Xbox brand, where it had come from, what the pitfalls had been, and was candid about knowing there are other players in the game such as having the spread sheet for install times on the PS4 and Xbone. Def seemed to understand he is head of the Xbox division, and that he's product doesn't exist in the vacuum even if he is trying to play to his overall company's strenghts.
I know most of you will say I'm LTTP on all of this with Spencer, and I probably am though.
