Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has admitted that Microsoft may have made a mistake in turning down the chance to bring Rime to the Xbox One after it was revealed that Rime was originally pitched as an Xbox One exclusive.
Spencer was questioned on Twitter as to why Microsoft turned down Rime – a PS4 exclusive revealed by Sony at Gamescom 2013.
“Part of job is living with mistakes. Passed on Guitar Hero…I can list many misses regretfully. I try to focus on what we did ship,” Spencer replied on Twitter.
Spencer continued to say that he’s happy that Rime found a place, even if it is on their competitor’s console.
“We’ll miss some, nature of the beast, its why I don’t hate when games ship elsewhere. Cool to see team’s idea turn in2 [sic] great game.”
