The Xbox boss emphasized his desire "to respond to what the gamers are asking us to do," and since they're currently seeing the interest from developers on the Widows platform, that's where Microsoft is putting its VR focus "right now."
Earlier this year, Spencer spoke to Microsoft's stance on VR, saying the company is taking a "more open and inclusive approach to VR" with its Windows platform. The company is inviting VR game developers who aren't tied to an exclusivity agreement to work on Windows, while still allowing them to distribute their game elsewhere.With regard to the future, Microsoft doesn't want to pursue the living room VR experience before it's confident it can be done right. "As a company we're big believers in mixed reality," Spencer said. "But if and when it comes to the family room environment, I want to make sure it's right. I don't want to get into something that doesn't really feel like it's landing well for us, and I haven't really seen a kind of massive uptake to other things going on in VR in the family room."
