Microsoft: Phil Spencer prepares Xbox

Xbox Game Studios (previously Microsoft Studios and Microsoft Video Game Studios) is a department of Microsoft Firm, which creates and also publishes computer game for computer systems based upon Windows running systems, Xbox video clip consoles and formerly on operating systems for Windows Phone mobile phones. They laid out in 2001 as Microsoft Game Studios to synchronize with the launch of the Xbox, prior to being relabelled in 2011 as Microsoft Studios as well as in 2019 as Xbox Video Game Studios. The division of Microsoft establishes and releases games together with initial and also 3rd advancement studies, under its editorial seal. On September 21, 2020, Microsoft obtained the business ANIMAL standard by 7.5 billion bucks, being within the video game sector the biggest agreement of the last 5 years.

Phil Spencer is at the top of the Xbox division and is instrulously responsible for the continuous success of recent years at the Xbox.

But he will not always be there. His most important task is to make the Xbox team fit for the future and ensure that it is long after him in a healthy condition.

Like the GQ Magazine to interview with Spencer, presses in Microsoft even to think of the long-term nature of the Xbox team and to put the course now.

He said about the topic of future and succession:

As someone who has been here for 33 years, of course, I have more years behind me than before me. But the longevity of this team, the durability of this team, there is nothing more important to me than that.

You should do it if you think of the long-term health of the team. You should make sure that the team is in good condition. That is fine the culture of the company. And that we make the right decisions on whom we set. That has to survive me.

With regard to the future there are three phases. Spencer describes them as Horizon.

Horizon One is plans that are already implemented today. Horizon Two, on the other hand, are projects that happen in one to three years. Horizon Three are still in the future at 5 to 15 years.

Although the projects in Horizon Three are probably not working. But Spencer stresses that it was important to drive innovation. There is also risky to enter into any risks. The seed of tomorrow must be sown today. Finally, you can not buy innovations just.
