The Verge also spoke Shanon Loftis, another Xbox executive, about the future of the company. One of the goals of Microsoft, according to Loftis, is to make gaming more inclusive across the board.
“I don’t want to dilute what the Xbox console customer feels. I want to expand what we’re able to do for more customers.”
–Phil Spencer to The Verge
Loftis also said that the company is exploring different ways to make all of their experiences relevant across all platforms – which means even though the games that have been announced so far are controller-centric, future games from Microsoft may be less focused on the controllers.
With the release of the new Xbox app on Windows 10, Microsoft has marked the beginning of merging of the two independent divisions of the company. Spencer said:
He goes on to call Xbox’s proximity to Windows 10 “beachfront property.”
Of course with the big ’likely’ attached to the news, it is more of a rumor than an announcement, and hence we might have to wait years just to know what’s next.
