Maybe this is a wait and see thing of what to make of Asha Sharma being the pick to take over Xbox here.

Was this just them looking and being like, we got to find somebody?

Like, all right, you know enough of what you're doing.

Come over here and lead the charge.

Or do you think this is somebody they've had in the works for a while?

Like, I don't know what to make of this.

Plus, they've had a year.

And the part the part that you mentioned, Paris, that I agree with and the part that's racking my brain that I'm trying to wrap my brain around is the idea that Phil Spencer didn't want the things that Asha is talking about here.

Right.

the things that Greg's mentioning of calling out, yeah, you're recommitting to your audience.

You're saying that you're going to, you know, commit to cloud PC and stuff, but like maybe not other consoles, or at least there's an absence of other, other consoles in that statement.

The idea of even the implied or like the softly implied, maybe this could be exclusives or whatever.

I would have thought that that's, those are all things that Phil Spencer, uh,

would have wanted and more so it would have been bigger Microsoft being like no like we bought Activision we need to make more money put your games in more places like that strikes me as the Microsoft decision not as much of the Phil Spencer decision and that feels more like a Microsoft at large business move more so than Xbox has been doing like if you ask Phil Spencer what his ideal Xbox would look like I think he would have said yeah I want everything to be exclusive like I want to be able to be like hey you have to buy this Xbox to play Starfield and Call of Duty and all these things

Like I'm, I, this, this almost feels like a red hair, not red herring, almost like a, like switcheroo of, ah, no, we the ones, we the ones that want the exclusivity.

Like we're the ones who want to recommit to you.

We got, we got rid of the leadership that didn't want all those things, even though they did want all those things.

I don't know if that's me just over-reading it.

That's what me and Mike were talking about a little bit during the break, right?

Especially when you...
