Well he seems more game centric than the last moron so it should only be a good thing.
Wonder if he was in charge in the first place the console would have better specs, make stupid Kinect optional and focus on games from the start.
I agree with everything you said, except making Kinect optional. I've seen one in action, I've even watched it sign me in at my friend's house the second I walk into the room based on it's picture of me it has for recognition. I've watched and even just talked to the TV and seen it do exactly what I want it to. Kinect is WORTH the extra $100 and being slightly weaker. It's not being used in the same way the one on 360 was. It's there to supplement, not be the controller.
Honestly, I hope Spencer can get Microsoft's internal game studios up to Nintendo and Sony standards as far as exclusives and IPs that give the console an identity of it's own. Only internal studios at Microsoft will be able to use the Kinect effectively as an enhancement of a game in a way that feels natural. As someone who has seen it in action, I'm a huge proponent of Kinect, though I would like a little more assurance from Microsoft that I'm not being spied on.
