@sellingthings: It's a mainstream AAA release that will be on literally every other platform, and the Switch is not getting it which is clearly for technical reasons. The console is not capable of handling modern rendering not to mention future rendering, it's going to be dumped by 3rd party quickly.
Something like this coming to pass before it even launches says it all, it's DoA.
@davillain-: That doesn't mean he's a saint, but his personal views don't always have to line up with or reflect the decisions made at Microsoft, he has a leading role but he's not the end all be all of final decisions made for the company.
Phil is clearly talking from a personal basis here, what Xbox ends up doing and the final decisions they make does not entirely rest upon his shoulders. He can personally dislike practices the very brand he works for is engaged in, but also has to see them through as the head of the department, the two are not mutually exclusive.
Everyone does things they don't like or find stupid at their jobs, but have to do because it's a part of their job. Just because you do something for work doesn't mean you personally agree with it.
He is the head of Xbox, he doesn't own it, he's not in complete control of everything he just has a larger say than most people but he still has to appease bosses and financial reports.
The only good and original movies in this entire franchise is The Fast & The Furious, and Tokyo Drift, the only two films that actually seemed like something with a point and unique.
