Phil Spencer: Nintendo has the best pedigree for original games in the industry

For Phil Spencer Nintendo has the best pedigree in the industry when it comes to First-Party titles.

There is no one who can overcome it and produce experiences that are so perfectly combined with the hardware on which they work.

The head of the Xbox division praised Nintendo during Gary Whitta's Animal Talking program, essentially a talk show held within Animal Crossing: New Horizons. When is the best time to do this?

"The real truth about what Nintendo does is that they think of games, hardware and platforms as a whole, building experiences around them."

"I know your teams very well and I think it's magical how they are capable of that, creating a complete Nintendo experience on their devices and this experience that I am having now, in my hands on my Switch with Animal Crossing, until the game itself, until the way you go to other people's islands ... it's surreal. "

For Spencer, the industry must protect Nintendo because it is a master at what it does:

"As you know, in the entertainment industry many things are not very successful, so there is always a certain degree of unpredictability, but at Nintendo they are masters at what they do and, as I said in the past, I think we have the pedigree of the strongest First-Party in the industry and that they are a jewel that we all must protect in some way. "

As for the next Xbox, the Xbox Series X, it will arrive at the end of 2020.
