Defining Duke, Episode 28: Phil Spencer Opens Up On Xbox's Single Player Future

The Xbox team made the press rounds this week and dove into the likes of controller changes, VR/AR, early access, but most importantly to everyone (and especially Cog!) is that #JustONE! Fans have wanted Xbox to go all out with their single player narrative games and Phil Spencer has just claimed they have more in development than they ever had in the history of Xbox. An exciting trajectory for sure, so Matty and Cog shake out Xbox's future. Alongside that, a major week in the world of Japanese games. PC trouble has struck spin-off series Judgment and Persona celebrates its 25th anniversary! Will Johnny & Associates enter the modern age and let Takuya Kimura follow his wife on Instagram?! What of the future of Judgment as a series?! We discuss that alongside the alluring idea of Persona heading to Xbox and much more in a jam packed week.

Why is no one talking about this? https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/07/16/xbox-series-x-and-s-outsold-switch-ps5-in-us-dollar-sales-in-june/ Xbox outsold PS5 and Switch in June. Forbes article is worth a read.

Please stop talking over each other only to add 'hype exclamations'

I'm really loving the chemistry here.

Precisely how I feel about VR. You guys need regular flat games to begin, why are you going to support another device? Honestly it already feels like Sony can barely afford to support it much themselves. If they did ever release a Hololens for Xbox though and it worked with PC as well, it would be enticing. I used to own PSVR and it felt like a waste for the price since it was locked to my PS4.

Actually forgot that I had sent in a question and was genuinely shocked to hear my name getting read out for a question. Great episode.

Andrew McGregor

Definitely a bit of a letdown. Title makes it sound like uncle Phil is on the pod. I was excited to try the podcast again!

Greg Mocha

Def love the new host and evergy.

Hey Matty you are an awesome person and I hope your feeling better. Keep up the hard work bro ,I may not agree with many things you say but you provide great entertainment and help me get through my day! Also for returnal the dualsense helps you in my opinion, and it makes the games very immersive.
