Microsoft seems to be completely neglecting Xbox One now.
Microsoft Corporation is dealing with a lot of skepticism for the initiatives taken by the company recently. For all those who are not aware of the updates, the software giant has taken certain decisions that are quite controversial in nature for its gaming console Xbox One’s first party exclusive titles along with studios. The company made an announcement regarding the closure of its Lionhead Studios along with the decision to cancel the launch of the Fables Legends.
It is believed that Microsoft has embraced one of the potentially most ground breaking news where Phil Spencer, the head of gaming division posted on Twitter to confront the fans by stating, “Xbox is not going anywhere”. He further assured that the Xbox One will not go anywhere and the organization is still devoted to its first party studios. Moreover, the company will also work on new IPs and franchises for the Xbox One.
Spencer clearly mentioned that he at this point cannot unveil the details so as to why the company took this decision and he understands that such actions are not very well received by the masses. However, all the Microsoft fans out there need to understand that Spencer is still devoted to the platform.
Keeping all the statements made by the executive aside, it is common observation that the Xbox One’s first party developments have slowed down tremendously. During the E3 which took place last year, the company came up with various new IPs and exclusives however none of them seem to be progressing now. Moreover, the cancellation of the Fable Legends also highlights the peculiar conditions of the Microsoft Studios.
The company is quietly removing the studios from the company’s website highlights the present scenario as well. It is not an unknown fact that the Xbox One is not doing quite well in the fraternity and the company is also moving towards Windows 10. Thus, it seems like the company is giving up on the gaming console amid statement refuting this claim by Phil Spencer.
Considering the present scenario, there has been negligible development in terms of the Xbox One games where some games that took the industry by a storm are being neglected completely. No update has been observed on games like Crackdown 3, Scalebound along with others. And all those that are surfacing are merely going on Windows 10.
Oublication houses are not just the ones accusing the company but their own first party developers have also accepted the fact that the market for Xbox One is quite saturated. Since the market is limited thus spending money and investing on it is a relatively difficult thing for MSFT. However, it needs to be understood that the present situation for Windows 10 and Xbox One is quite critical which is causing problems.
Hence in a nutshell, it is high time that Phil Spencer buckles up so that the issues can be countered and Xbox One surfaces back in the market once again. On the other hand, PlayStation can rejoice their winning streak.
