Xbox is not interested in selling more consoles than Nintendo and PlayStation, declares Phil Spencer

During a conversation with Gary Whitta at his late show on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Phil Spencer reiterated that the core business of Xbox does not sell more consoles than Nintendo and PlayStation.

Spencer said Xbox aims to provide a service to his clients, that's why Microsoft does not really care whether you play these games on PC or Console.

"If [sell more consoles than Sony and Nintendo] was our approach, we would not place our PC games," he said.

"We would not put our games on Xbox One, we would not get XCloud and would not allow people to play games on their phones," added the Microsoft Executive Vice President to the game.

He mentioned the next streaming platform for Android - and other devices, if Apple changes his advice - who, as part of the Xbox Game Pass, is the key to the future of the game described by the company.

"How many consoles do I sell compared to the number of consoles sold by another company," he said. "Sony, Nintendo or other companies at the time, it's not our approach."

It is a different state of mind with regard to the games, a company in which we have always been used to checking the sales data. Sony always looks at things that way, continually updating the sales data of the PS4 and making projections on the performance of the PlayStation 5 when it released later this year.

The owner of the Japanese platform estimates that the PS5 will double the sales of the Xbox Series X in five years, thanks to that.

Nintendo is also an important sales player because SWITCH has already sold more than 60 million units and beaten.

However, this has no influence on Microsoft's new generation approach, which is always oriented to go where consumers are instead of forcing them on a specific device.
