Why No Man's Sky

Microsoft Game Studios corporate VP Phil Spencer is interested in getting No Man’s Sky on the Xbox One. He also mistakenly said on Twitter that Diablo III would be on the Xbox One (it’s already available for Xbox 360), while pointing out the types of games he’d like to see on the next gen console.

“Have you tracked No Man’s Sky? Not exactly the same genre but would be good on XB1.”

As for the genres of games he’d like to see on the Xbox One, Spencer stated that, “For me personally, I’m a fan of platformers and good story driven adventure games. I’m pushing for a lot of story in one of our unannounced projects. I thought story in Ryse, as an example, really helped game.

“Yea, Diablo III was really nice on XBOX One. Sold well. Would be good to get more iso dungeon crawls as well.” Spencer later clarified that he meant the Xbox 360 version. Was it still some sort of confirmation that Diablo III could be on the Xbox One? “Not by me, that’s obviously Blizzards decision and schedule,” says Spencer.
