Phil Spencer understands that the Xbox One and Windows PC are very different experiences. As such, he’s fine if PC owners don’t buy Xbox One consoles.
“You might not. And I’m not trying to trick you into buying an Xbox One for what I’m doing,” he said to Polygon. “I was actually asked by somebody, ‘Did you do [the free-to-play] Forza 6: Apex as a way of teasing the PC gamers with how good Forza is so they’ll go buy an Xbox One?’ No. That’s not the plan. So they might not [buy an Xbox One]. And I want that to be OK.”
He then detailed the differences in experience.
“I think there’s something very unique about playing console games on my television,” he said. “Ten feet away, with a controller in my hand, you and I sitting next to each other, either playing against each other or playing with each other — that is different from playing on my PC gaming rig sitting from 2 feet away playing with a keyboard and mouse or even a controller.”
