A lot of gamers were surprised when Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as a timed exclusive for the Xbox One and questioned whether the title is big enough to attract new players to the platform.
With just a few days to go for Gamescom 2015, Phil Spencer talked about the long term strategy he had in mind for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
“My strategy is more around our own first-party franchises, and investing in franchises that we own, and probably fewer exclusive deals for third-party content”, he said. “I want to have strong third-party relations, but paying for many third-party exclusives isn’t our long-term strategy”, said Spencer.
Expect the first proper details on Crackdown, more on Platinum’s Xbox One exclusive Scalebound, and the long-awaited time travel shooter Quantum Break from Alan Wake developer Remedy.
Gamespot further adds that aside from “Quantume Break”, several video game titles are also going to be featured in Gamescom 2015, such as “Halo 5: Guardians“, “Rise of Tomb Raider“, “Fable Legends”, “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” and “Forza Motorsport 6″.
Picked up by Dualshockers, the full interview is available on Youtube and includes discussion on a variety of topics – including the upcoming Elite controller.
