We spoke with Xbox chief Phil Spencer in an interview about the Xbox Series X, exclusive titles, and the future of consoles. Check out the video to see what he had to say.
What is it about? The next generation of consoles is currently an important topic among gamers. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X could soon become the new console in many players’ living rooms.
For this, we at MeinMMO, along with our other sister brands at Webedia (including GameStar and GamePro), were able to organize an interview with Phil Spencer and discuss important topics that are currently relevant to the new console.
It was about
- the Xbox Game Pass,
- the merging of PC and Xbox players
- as well as cloud gaming
The article from GamePro highlights the fact that games will always be a focus (via GamePro.de).
Participants in the interview included: MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro as well as 3D Juegos, Vida Extra, JeuxVideo, and Millenium.

We talked about the design: We from MeinMMO asked Phil Spencer why the lines between console and PC blur so much with the Xbox Series X. Even the design resembles a PC tower.
Spencer explains that the design of the console is “functional” and allows them to fit in the full performance without compromising on aesthetics.
According to Spencer, the design of the Xbox Series X allows for the construction of the most powerful next-gen console while keeping noise levels low and providing consistent performance through its cooling system.
How important are 2 console models at launch? In the interview, we mentioned that Sony will also offer a cheaper version of the PS5 without an optical drive. We asked Spencer if it is wise to offer two consoles at launch and whether Microsoft could do the same with the Xbox Series X.
Spencer explains that it would be a great idea to offer a more affordable alternative, especially this year. “We all know what economic uncertainty is present everywhere due to Covid-19 and the high unemployment rate. There are many things that people, our customers, are dealing with in their lives. Allowing customers to choose how they want to enter our ecosystem is very important.” The Xbox chief also emphasized recently that he understands if you won’t buy the Xbox Series X right away in 2020.
The interview also touched on exclusive titles on consoles. Because this is also a major topic among Sony’s competition. Just recently, Phil Spencer explained why the PS5 is wrong about exclusives. It would not be the meaning of “gaming” to say that a part of it consists of preventing people from experiencing those games.
