"Phil Spencer Reassures Microsoft's Commitment to Xbox Consoles Amid Multiplatform Speculation"

Phil Spencer reassured Xbox employees in a town hall meeting that Microsoft is not getting out of the console hardware market and will continue making Xbox consoles, amid swirling rumors about changes to the Xbox business. The company's strategy includes employing multiple kinds of devices, and there are rumors that Microsoft may expand its gaming presence to include PlayStation and Nintendo devices. The concern arises from the speculation that Microsoft may put less focus on console sales in favor of an "Xbox Everywhere" philosophy, but it's likely that Xbox hardware will remain an option for those who want dedicated access to Microsoft games.
