Cruise Control - Topic of the Show
Ryan McCaffrey tweeted:
Xbox fans are DYING to celebrate a masterpiece-level exclusive like God of War. Thing is, though, it took Sony 10 years to get to this point where their 1st party is firing on all cylinders…
Phil Spencer replied:
Our hardware took time, our service/platform/Back Compat took time and continuing to grow our 1st Party will take time. A high quality and diverse 1st Party (with Second Party) built the right way is our goal and what our customers deserve. We can have similar results to what we've seen in hardware and platform.
