Microsofts Phil Harrison heeft in een recent interview een nogal stevige uitspraak gedaan. Volgens de beste man heeft de Xbox One met zijn 23 games de beste launch line-up in de geschiedenis van consoles. Daarnaast is Harrison erg blij met de samenwerking met Electronic Arts om FIFA 14 straks bij elke Xbox One te leveren en daarnaast investeert men flink in exclusieve games en content, zoals Titanfall en de tijdelijke exclusieve DLC voor Call of Duty: Ghosts en Battlefield 4.
Harrison vertelde:
Ultimately it’s the games that make Xbox One stand out, and we have the best line-up of games – we think – in the history of consoles. We clearly have strong exclusive games, and we have partnered with EA to bring FIFA to Europe in a very meaningful way. Football in Europe is the sport, and in some countries it’s the religion. I think FIFA Ultimate Team is going to be huge.De totale launch line-up van de Xbox One, zodra hij in de eerste groep landen verschijnt later dit jaar, ziet er als volgt uit:The reason we do our own studio investments and investments with third-party publishers is very simple – we want to make sure the best games are on Xbox. We want to make sure the best developers bring their creativity to our platform.
