Phil Spencer also stated that his team is actively analyzing the market to bring a better portable experience to the already existing hardware. Phil Spencer stated “Longer term, I love us building devices,” he further continued “Longer term, I love us building devices,” Spencer said, “but we want to be informed by learning and what’s happening now.”
