United Kingdom, Jan. 28 -- Phil Spencer sees hardware innovation as the key to Xbox's long-term success.

The CEO of Microsoft Gaming has played an important role in establishing the console as one of the industry leaders, and Phil is now convinced that hardware innovation, rather than exclusive games, is the way forward for the brand.

He told Gamertag Radio: "I want people to pick hardware based on the capabilities of that hardware, and how that fits into the choices they want to make about where they want to play. We want our hardware to win based on the hardware capabilities that we have."

Phil observed that the most successful current games - such as 'Fortnite' and 'Minecraft' - are already available on different platforms.
