The head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, signed a PS5 cover

Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, recently signed a PS5 cover for a Japanese fan during the Tokyo Game Show 2023. Xbox had its own presentation at TGS 2023, highlighting a range of Japanese-themed or inspired titles developed by creators from Japan. Spencer not only attended the Xbox showcase but also made appearances at events like the one hosted by IGN Japan.

In recent times, Xbox has been generating attention within the gaming community due to various topics including Starfield, sales of the Xbox Series X|S consoles, and addressing a significant Xbox leak that occurred recently. Phil Spencer has been the key figure addressing these matters, whether through social media platforms like Twitter or in interviews. Whenever there is news related to Xbox, it is highly likely that Spencer would be present to provide comments and updates to the gaming community. Therefore, seeing the head of Xbox signing a PS5 cover can be perplexing for some and even humorous.

During the recent TGS 2023, at the Xbox x IGN Japan fan meet-up, a fan approached Spencer and Sarah Bond, the Corporate Vice President of Xbox, and asked them to autograph a PS5 cover that they had brought along. A Twitter user named gangsuit captured a picture of this moment, which was then shared on the platform by Genki_JPN. The photo depicts Spencer holding up the signed PS5 cover with a smile on his face.

Similar to Genki's caption stating, "Phil Spencer was like 'Is it okay to sign this?'" the replies to the tweet also found humor in the situation. Some even jokingly referred to it as the end of the console wars. Genki's tweet has been circulating on the platform and has been viewed by many, including former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden, who responded with a GIF from God of War, showing Kratos nodding in agreement.

Phil Spencer is renowned for being a good sport when it comes to the ongoing console wars between Xbox and PlayStation. The head of Xbox has even participated in interviews during Gamescom 2023, where he emphasized that Xbox's success should not be measured solely by the number of consoles sold but by the number of people engaged within the Xbox ecosystem. The company has demonstrated its commitment to prioritizing players by offering services like Xbox Game Pass, which serves as a notable example of this player-centric approach.

Spencer and the Xbox team have exciting plans not only for the Xbox community but for the gaming community as a whole. The head of Xbox has made a promise to gamers that 2023 will be a remarkable year for Xbox and is determined to follow through on those plans.
