Also last month, Spencer told Wall Street Journal about Xbox's plans to further acquire more game studios to bring them under the Microsoft wing. He said:

“We’re always out there looking for people who we think would be a good match and teams that would be a good match with our strategy... we're definitely not done. There’s no quota. There’s no kind of timeline where I have to go acquire studios by a certain time.”

Spencer also said he's looking to diversify console manufacturing locations to avoid potential shortage issues in the future, though most experts believe console shortage will last at least another year or longer.
