Phil Spencer Says They Do Not Make Money On Consoles, But On Games

Recently, rumors have surfaced about a new stance on Xbox, Microsoft’s video game division, which could expand its services to new platforms and bet on streaming.

The rumors of a new Xbox in 2020 focused on streaming, the announcement of the streaming service called Project xCloud and the possible expansion of Xbox Live for mobile devices and Nintendo Switch, point to a future where Microsoft will expand the reach of their games.

After stating that the next E3 will see Microsoft’s dedication to gaming PC, Phil Spencer talked about the company’s plans for the future and how services can play a key role in its expansion.

The boss of the Xbox division even said that it is not on consoles that make money, but on games, something that could influence their future bets.

” We want to take the Game Pass to any device anyone wants to play,“ says Spencer.

“Not just because it’s our business, but because the business model allows people to consume and find games they would not play in any other space.”

Faced with the fear that the expansion of its services to other platforms would affect the sale of consoles, Spencer says it is in the game sales that it will focus on the company’s business.

“That’s not where you make money,” Spencer said of the consoles.

” The business of video games is really to sell games and sell access to games and content in ways that are the key business, and if you expand it, the more people you get to play, the more you’ll enjoy this form of art. “

Despite these words, Microsoft continues to work on new consoles, confirmed by Spencer at E3 2018. One of them, the rumors indicate, may focus exclusively on the digital format.

In addition, information has emerged that points to the approach of consoles and PC like never before, with the possibility of Xbox games coming to the PC and a single store joining the two platforms.
