Console exclusives as important as ever, says Xbox boss
Spencer told Fortune that Xbox One's hardware features like Kinect, SmartGlass, and Azure cloud integration are a major selling point. However, he added, games have "always been the bedrock of our consoles at Xbox".
"Exclusive games will continue to play a major role for Xbox in the new console generation, just as they have in previous generations," Spencer said. "This E3 is important for us to show gamers our future plans for exclusives and third-party support.
"Right now I think we have a strong lineup of in-development exclusives, including games like Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, Quantum Break, and Halo, in addition to some exciting titles you will hear more about at E3. It's going to be great at E3 to be able to share the games coming exclusively to Xbox One, and it's only going to get better."
Spencer also discussed making Xbox One a friendlier environment for non-traditional console games like Minecraft and World of Tanks. While more platforms are hosting successful games than ever before, Spencer said that also means more opportunities to bring successful franchises over to Xbox.
Microsoft has shipped more than 5 million Xbox One consoles since the system launched in November. The company reported an overall profit of $5.6 billion for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2014, ended March 31.

DanimalsBeetTheUnholy1994BeetCarboniteAftermarket Without console exclusives, PS would have the better console, so yeah pretty **** important
PS4 Is and has always been better.
And PC is better than them both.
That's funny when people jumps in with a "pc is the master race" stuff. Its Xbox vs PS because they're consoles. Pc isn't a console so means that it can't compare to Xbox and Ps. Go have a cyber war with Macs or whatever. Compare a Pc with another kind of Pc for once.
The point that I am making is that the PC is the superior way to play video games. It is just fact. People do compare PC parts. Many PC games have easy ways you can benchmark graphics cards and their performance. I just find it hilarious when a PS4 peasant tries to debate an xbox peasant over which potato is better.
You cannot compare pc to a console so stop doing it
Well he just did it so um .. Lol.

After reading this I really feel like Beet needs to go and experience the real world every so often. You really just referred to gamers who prefer consoles as "peasants".... Really???
