Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 might very well look better than reality, but what good is it if it’s not ready to ship. That’s the view of Phil Spencer, corporate VP and head of Microsoft’s worldwide studios.

Quested about Microsoft’s first-party strength for the Xbox 360, specifically if it’s important to make “solid, important, AAA exclusives”, Spencer replied:

“Absolutely. And to ship them! That’s an important part of our strategy. Look at Forza shipping next month: the definitive racing sim this generation. You could say it’s the only racing sim that’s shipping this generation.”

Spencer continued: “We understand that the experiences we bring to market are most likely the only platform-exclusive experiences that we bring, and that’s why it’s important that our quality remains so high. If you look at the last three or four years, our review score average rivals anybody out there, first-party or third-party.”
