In a recent interview with Gamespot, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, denied a recent Bloomberg report, which claimed that Microsoft tried to step on Sony’s turf and acquire multiple Japanese video game development studios.
To his knowledge, Phil Spencer has revealed that those statements are inaccurate, reminding that he’s not a part of all Microsoft meetings. Nevertheless, Phil Spencer confirmed that he doesn’t believe Microsoft would go to Japan to acquire video game developers.
