Upgrade to first class if old. I find this interesting considering the whole TR debate. PR going to PR I guess.
Phil Spencer said:"I actually don't get the question as much now anymore...I'll be honest, the thing I worry about is I look at all the people who buy an Xbox and invest their time and their money in Xbox One, and as millions of people own Xbox One I want people to feel like they're first class, because they are. When a third party game comes out it comes out on all platforms, at the same time and when indie games come out, I want them to come out and I want Xbox to feel like it's a first class citizen when an indie game launches. For me the parity thing is I own an Xbox one and I want to work for you to make sure that when great content launches, if it's coming to Xbox one and another platform... you kinda of get it at the same time as everybody else does.
That said, I have a lot of friends who run small indie studios, and I get that time lines around when... they just can't get both games done at the same time or all 3 games, 4 games depending on how many platforms they're supporting. So I was just saying let's have a conversation and it's worked. Today, I think we've done a good job working with the indies that had strict parity concerns. If it's just a dev issue for them but I don't want somebody to come and just think that am going to go do a special game on one platform and then I will get to the XB1 when I get to it.. because I don't think that's right because as Xbox one customers we want good games as they come out on both platforms but I also get that hey! for some guys they just can't afford the time to get both done. So we have just enter into the conversations with people as they are launching it and I feel pretty good about the plan.
