Phil Spencer Praises Horizon Zero Dawn, “Best Gen Yet” for Xbox

Xbox boss says to "celebrate" good games.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer took to Twitter to praise the release of several games, including Guerrilla Games’ Horizon: Zero Dawn which is out on February 28th and already garnering positive praise.

Spencer said that, “Good games shipping are positive for industry. Forza Horizon 3, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Civilization 6, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Overwatch etc all make gaming better, celebrate them.”

Even more interestingly, a fan linked comments from Kotaku’s Jason Schreier about the Xbox One not being able to compete with the PS4 and how Scorpio needs to try something new. Spencer addressed this: “Strange comments. Xbox is having a good gen, our best yet. XB1S strong since launch. Can always improve but proud of where we are.”

Microsoft’s E3 press conference is slated for June 11th and the company is promoting the reveal of Project Scorpio and several high profile exclusives like State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves. What are your thoughts on the current console war? Share them below in the comments.
