Phil stated that the response has been great and that the company will continue to release more of its titles on Nintendo and PlayStation. Talking about future titles, he stated that Microsoft is open to all types of possibilities.

Phil Spencer Has Been The Head of Xbox Gaming For A Decade

While this is fantastic news for Nintendo and PlayStation fans, it might hurt the Xbox fans. Halo, in particular, has been closely associated with the Xbox brand for multiple decades, so fans might not be too happy if it heads to PlayStation. Unfortunately, it seems that this is inevitable.

What do you think about this decision? Do you think Xbox is making the right decision to make their business grow, or should they go back to excellence? Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on Tech4Gamer’s Official Forums.
