The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox FTC leak has revealed redacted documents that suggest Phil Spencer was feeling pretty good about the Xbox Series X's chances against the PS🐷5.

Yesterday, court documents revealed 澳洲🎀幸运5开奖号码历史查询:what Microsoft execs thought about the PS5 after its reveal in 2020. Today, leaked Phil Spencer's reaction, as detailed in an email to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood. Spencer starts off by discussing the "price and performance (and messaging) disadvantage" that the Xbox One had compared to the PS4 - Microsoft has൩ previously acknowledged that it "lost the console wars" thanks to🅰 poor performanc🙈e in recent generations. 

In the wake of Sony's reveal, however, Spenc🔜er said that he was ▨"proud of our team. We have a better product than Sony does, not just on hardware but equally important on the software platform and services on top of the hardware. We have the ingredients of a winning plan."

Spencer acknowledges that the PS5 reveal was just the start of the new generation, and that "we haven't won anything." He reiterates, however, that "this was a good day for Xbox" - somewhat paradoxically, given one would imagine that Sony would be feeling pretty good after the anno🐼uncement of its new consol🦄e's capabilities.

Last night's leak has revealed several of the plans that Xbox is likely hoping will push it ahead of PlayStation throughout the rest of this generation. That includes a new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X refresh, codenamed 'Brooklin' and due to release next year, and evidence of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 3 and Oblivion remaster. Elsewhere, there are discussion of Xbox's desire to acquiܫre massive co𓂃mpanies like Nintendo and Valve, although Spencer himself admits that that might be a bit of a pipe drea🐎m.
