The difference is that he's both. He's both a gamer and a businessman. He actually understands what needs to be done in both sides of the business. That's why he's so successful

Deathloop, High On Life and Grounded is all I'm playing all this holiday until Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes to the Xbox Series S this January 😎👍
What I love about this interview is Phil is being more himself then just PR speak. This is the most relaxed I have seen him in a interview. I always love hearing about his gaming experiences. When the guy driving the ship loves the thing as much as everyone else you know your in good hands. Thanks Phil for helping build something that brings us all together.
Correction: it is literally impossible to not like this guy unless you are a PONY or PSbot. He put the games on PC but removes only for BSnow, PS and PlayStation.
Man, so glad he took over Xbox years back. I literally can't think of a better person. This time next year should put a stamp on his entire vision. Can't wait!
Another great and insightful episode! It’s always a good time listening to Jenna, Justine, and Phil talk about the games industry and other various topics like freezing bananas 🍌.
@@residentsteve wait up they will come starting 2023 and again ofc exclusives are important but not everybody picks up a console jist to play exclusives
Phil becoming the Head of Xbox was the reason I got the One over the PS4 at launch. I knew it wouldn't be the best generation (and I did have some good times on the PS4 I would get later down the road) and there would be rough patches, but… • The way he speaks during interviews, the answers seem genuine and not just PR • Always seeing him playing games online when I turn on my Xbox, • Making it easier to get access with more games with Game Pass • Making it easier to afford consoles with All Access • Hearing what Xbox and 3rd party staff have to say about him All of those (and more) just make it very easy to like Xbox and hope for the best for them. Thanks for getting him for another interview!
@@mrcraggle No, Xbox was already dead. Phil just launched Game Pass in its place and is using this current generation of consoles to let Xbox die a SLOW, drawn out death that allows for the transition of Microsoft to being a 3rd party publisher (like Sega - but much bigger). Better for PR this way too!!
@@3mileisland516 The Xbox Series consoles are the best selling xboxs ever, gamepass has over 25 million subs and growing, they've acquired insanely talented studios, xbox is growing, not dying
25:40 as an artist (not as a content creator because i dont take that seriously, its just for fun) feedback is one of those things were its an unruly monster. It thrashes in every direction and gnashes its teeth at anything that moves. Personally, feedback to me is nothing. its empty static. Im a traditional artist. i work on paper with pen and pencil. usually the "feedback" is surface level and often has nothing to do with the technique but more so that they didnt see exactly what they wanted to see despite the work not being for them or them saying how they would've drawn the thing i did despite them never had being able to imagine it until they saw what i made or being able to create in general. The only constructive criticism that is worth anything is criticism from those who you respect or do what you do but have done it; for longer, better and with more successful experience. the last one being a case-by-case basis. taking criticism from those who dont do what you do or do it worse than you is a hindrance. personally, I couldn't give a shit what peoples opinions are on my art. If i did i either wouldn't be doing it, or i wouldn't be drawing what i enjoy. I let people take away what they will from my art and thats it. what it means to you, what you think it stands for is what it stands for, for you. its different for everybody. Some people look a my art and see dread, or pain or unnerving stillness, others see it as beautiful, inspiring, or calm. Others are lost. All is okay. All means everything to you but all that means nothing to me. edit: a lot of my work blends human anatomy and surrealism.
I have played game all my 42 years and its actually anaddiction to my happiness so in my humbling oppinion Phill is in the games and not the console. Get back to making games man! Please for the love of Gaming get back to making games or we will end up like Atari
Literally said they wont take CoD from playstation. Hes not dumb, it makes absolutely no sense to make it exclusive. All that will happen is that they are gonna make it day one gamepass and instead of playstation having the exclusive content it will be xbox. Will probably be early access on gamepass with exclusive skins.
Justine is the one of the three people who received the big Xbox fridge, now he takes interview from Phil. In the future she will be executive Xbox community manager.
Philspencer willl surely be one of the Video Game Industry Icons, along with the likes of Miyamoto, Shawn Layden. They all are a rare combination of good leader,a gamer and a good businessman.
Girls, the quality of the video is absolutely stunning. What camera is this? The bit rate... The audio... all perfect. The lighting of the studio is just incredible 🤌🤌💜💜! Great interview!!!
Xcloud saved my life, I travel a lot for work, and I could never keep up with my friends on new games and releases now with Xcloud I can enjoy almost all of them. I hope i can play warzone 2 on Xcloud.
I was gonna change my name to iSlav... HOW the fuck can I do that without acknowledging iJUSTINE!!! I forgot about her! Damn, that was my fault, you and your sister? been killing it! Now onto Phil, WoW!! I mean I love his interviews WHAT THE FUCK more passion than me maybe!?
For the love of god.. all due respect what a stupid interview, poor Phil. Let him talk for godssakes, stop screaming, don't ask him about bananas and cheetos, do your homework on the situation in the gaming world... The recently conducted WSJ interview is 15 minutes shorter and superior in just about every way imaginable.
He seems like such a nice guy, Phil if you’re reading this sort out Xbox support in the UK the whole Xbox support is broken in the UK! You can’t contact anyone and you will loose valued customers like me! My Series S has issues and spent 2 days trying to get a real human on support, met with broken chat bots and UK numbers that Xbox has that lead to a dead end message that says go to Xbox website and the UK Xbox support website is broken! Help!!!!!!!! The Uk support callback is broken and does not work, I am a long time Xbox fanboy since the original Xbox and Xbox 360 etc, and now I regret not buying a PS5 is this what you want customers like me switching console?
@Phil Spencer Does Activision deliver an honest gaming environment? Are there hackers in the game? Are players using banned hardware input devices (Chronus)? Is Modern Warfare II’s software manipulating player values (aim, health, movement and etc.) for any reason? Are you confident in Activision’s Ricochet anti-cheat? Has Activision delivered premium content? Has content been released as advertised in a timely manner? Is Call of Duty Modern Warfare II worth AAA money? What have you?
An oversized controller to simulate what a controller feels like in the hands of an 8 year old. So, something like the original Xbox "Duke" controller? Actually, that controller didn't seem too big for me at the time, but I'm sure it would now, since I'm used to the 360, One, and Series controllers.
I still think Xbox should go back to the BIG-little controller configurations, some days the Duke is perfect and sometimes I just want a controller to be more portable.
Ok. I don't care what platform you're biased for... how can you hate THIS dude?! Phil is so damn genuine... I can usually tell if someone is acting fake. He was just being himself.
Why would you not ask more questions about games that people care about?? This interview killed me.. so many better more pro-ding type questions could have been asked…
The muscles get used after a while. I was working for two years in the cleaning section and i was swepping the group for 5 -6 hours so maybe 2 hours without a break in most times
just curious, but what is the point with wearing the headphones? I've seen plenty of interviews, in the same room, without those. I see mics yes, but not the headphones, and then Mr. Phil is not wearing any.... hmmm...
"Everything you put out kind of has to live on its own because the last thing you can do is actually go out and try to defend things you create. That never works." I really like this statement.
When Phil speaks, I can tell he is a passionate gamer and not a businessman who has no clue about games and gamers.
He's a gamer and most def a businessman/professional. I think he's understands context and audience very well and it's not a front, but a great representation of who he during different conditions.
@Dr. Morgan,
Agreed! Phil is a one of a kind Executive.
Yeah
Yet Jim Ryan is the one actually releasing games 🤡
The difference is that he's both. He's both a gamer and a businessman. He actually understands what needs to be done in both sides of the business. That's why he's so successful
Always love hearing phil interviews, he’s one of my favorites in the gaming world!!
He's easily one of my fav execs that also enjoys what he does.
There are no good CEOs
Phil is a fraud…how he was won awards is insanity at best
Dang - the more I hear Phil Spencer talk the more he impresses me. He is legit.
he is awesome!
He's a great talker alright. When it comes to managing internal game development through..
Yeah!!

You both are lucky to have a major Xbox name to be your guest on your Samebrain podcast. Shout out to you both and Matty.
THE major xbox name*

He’s a liar
Dude i dont know how he got 3 mainline persona games on xbox but he’s a god for doing so
Microsoft has a really good relationships with SEGA, which is a godsend for Microsoft, especially during the OG Xbox days
It's literally impossible to hate this guy. Period. Probably the best person in videogame industry alongside Kojima right now.
And reggie
Correction: It's literally impossible to like this guy unless you're an xbot
He's took Bethesda and Activision games away from PlayStation. How could anyone but xbots like him?

Phil wasn't head of Xbox back when Xbox one launched lol, he came in after to fix their gigantic screw up
@@MyndZero I know it wasn’t RIGHT at launch. Meant more like the “launch window”

I love Phil. He saved the Xbox 💚💚💚

I know this isn't a hot take but I really like Phil Soencer.

Finally Same brain! Greets from Paris amazing girls!
How lucky are you to have the Godfather of Xbox himself on the show?!

A CEO needs to be a player to win 💚 and 🧠 of gamer's ...#authentic spoken from the heart!
I have played game all my 42 years and its actually anaddiction to my happiness so in my humbling oppinion Phill is in the games and not the console. Get back to making games man! Please for the love of Gaming get back to making games or we will end up like Atari
I really wish they would do a conkers bad fur day remake or a sequel

Phil Spencer went to injustine never can imagine that happen since she doesn’t work for Microsoft I got a lot of question for Phil Spencer also
Jenna killed it - I had no idea that she is so good at interviewing. Keep up the great work!
Phill knows what gamers want Xbox is only going to get better and better
Phil turned on that CEO swag daddy vibe for this interview..
Phil is down to earth, great guy! Need more guys like phil in the gaming biz
@@jayclarke777 you must be a pony, you got no right to talk lol
Will we ever see Jim "Private Jet" Fly'an do that kind of stuff ?
Nah, don't even think about it.
Justine is the one of the three people who received the big Xbox fridge, now he takes interview from Phil. In the future she will be executive Xbox community manager.
Phil Spencer is a legit gamer and that shows in every decision he makes, I could not be happier with the direction of Xbox.
Phil is a motherflipping G. Love hearing him talk because he's passionate but also down to earth. Great for our industry :)
Love your podcasts!!
The man who saved XBOX💚
If you want to understand gamers, you have to be one. Phil loves videogames. You can see it when he talks about this industry.
Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!

You can't imagine sony's Jim Lyin' Ryan has ever picked up a controller, but Phil is legit.
Great interview. Even though there was no shelf this time 😂
Loved the interview, Phil has a contagious positive vibe about gaming, good work!
I hope the Activision deal goes through
im here for phil. lord spener
hope you make a halloween podcast tomorrow
Phil Spencer is my hero hands down
Girls, the quality of the video is absolutely stunning. What camera is this? The bit rate... The audio... all perfect. The lighting of the studio is just incredible 🤌🤌💜💜! Great interview!!!
thanks so much!!!! we used 2 Sony a7S III cameras + Sony a1 and the rodecaster pro with mics
we don't know when this is going to be posted, when recording this its almost Halloween 2022, lol (UPLOADED October 30th, 2022)
The fact that Phil doesn’t order his groceries online or curbside is fantastic and show how down to earth he is.
We need more exclusives like Superman the man of steel II/Bruce lee the quest of the dragon/Buffy the vampire/golden eye remake/K.i
I have major respect for Phil Spencer. He has a passion for games, that matters
Xcloud saved my life, I travel a lot for work, and I could never keep up with my friends on new games and releases now with Xcloud I can enjoy almost all of them. I hope i can play warzone 2 on Xcloud.
First time of hearing of this podcast and glad that I did. Great Interview.
This video got the most views yet thanks to Phil.
Feel like he was really craving the freezer Bananas lmao
I love listening to your podcast whilst working! Great work!

Great show! Just a question, apologies if someone has asked and you've answered... Do your arms get tired of holding those microphones?
The muscles get used after a while. I was working for two years in the cleaning section and i was swepping the group for 5 -6 hours so maybe 2 hours without a break in most times
It's been a long time since the last release of a first party game. Those new studios better release banger because gamepass needs the win.
I kind of want to reach out through the internet and nudge that microphone a little closer to Phil
just curious, but what is the point with wearing the headphones? I've seen plenty of interviews, in the same room, without those. I see mics yes, but not the headphones, and then Mr. Phil is not wearing any.... hmmm...
That was a great episode! I was shocked to see him there in person. Is that Justine’s house?
@Same Brain, Justine!,I would like to know the name of the colour on the wall behind you and Jenna, The wall below the staircase!!
Xbox should make a cloud game console like PlayStation made there handheld system. Cause I would get it just to play Xbox game pass games
Nice Interview, but I feel the sound is not great. A lot of high pitches and sss. I don't think is my system. But congrants!
One important question... Where did you buy those pillows? No seriously I like them. 😊 Lol
Phil Spencer is not on the COD preview? Wow, they must be making sure they stay hands off until the purchase date or just too busy lol

Thank you for this,great interview.
ijustine always sucked that is not something im interested in and definitely not someone who should be talking about video games.
This is cool
33:06 yes theres a game about bananas "my friend pedro"
Phill is just awesome!
Phil is more of a Gamer then a businessman.
It just awesome to see beautiful minds live out dreams and share thier experiences; it's truly motivational.
Why are you both sitting with headphones interviewing someone? Just weird
Making gaming toxic with too many unwanted decisions being made.
3 amazing people together, awesome interview! Man... Phil is a such an iconic legend and a very super humble guy! Thank you Sisters! ❤️
Phil is so wholesome. What a a cool dude!
