Xbox Has Reformed for Good Reason

Who would have thought that Xbox would be adding the likes of PlayStation and Nintendo to their community? Of course, how they do this is through the games they’ll be publishing now through Xbox Studios with third-party. It really is becoming a company that focuses on its reach for players everywhere. It’s almost as though Microsoft is saying, even if you don’t want us to acquire you we will work with you on games and publishers we acquire anyway.

It’s simply a win-win for Microsoft. Because they’ll almost certainly be accumulating player bases from franchises that are some of the biggest in gaming entertainment. Personally, as a prime Xbox and Nintendo player these days. I welcome the competition. I think Phil Spencer said it best in an interview I watched a few weeks back. Microsoft are now in a position with Xbox where they’re the custodians of so many franchises that they need to handle in such a way that major care is given. This brings us to the management shake-ups recently.

I think the Sarah Bond position especially is the right decision because she brings the right character and vision to the company. She has pretty much been handling Xbox Game Pass for a while. Which has come on leaps and bounds since it launched. I mean, Xbox fans are consuming some really good content at the end of this year.

That focus on a major game every three months takes a point and is completely feasible. Especially with the production of games they now have in the pipeline. Restructuring their whole company personnel to adapt to the rising amount of workload that is going to need to be shared to continue to make decisions in the best interest of Xbox. It’s a smart move and certifies that it’s a team effort.

There’s even more possibility of more to come in terms of acquisitions. What I will say though, is this signifies the best interest of the Xbox community as a whole primarily. But it’s also a start of reaching out to other players on other platforms and saying jump in and come and join us. We’re building momentum and we’re heading in the right direction.

After so much discontent over the years, Xbox’s future looks brighter than ever on all fronts. Even if you don’t necessarily play on an Xbox.
