Xbox exec points finger at Phil Spencer's regime for recent layoffs
Xbox has been in damage control mode after laying off around 1,600 staffers and planning to close five studios this week. Per Rock Paper Shotgun, Xbox boss Asha Sharma is getting as close as she ever will to blaming the previous leadership.
In her public statements, Sharma reportedly pinned the cuts on Phil Spencer's former regime spreading the company 'too thin.' She claimed a 'healthy Xbox' could have weathered the current market challenges, but the previous strategy left it vulnerable.
The comments offer a rare glimpse of internal blame-shifting after a brutal period for the gaming giant, with the new leadership trying to chart a different course.
