Phil Spencer's recent musings on Final Fantasy XIV releasing on XBOX One are a bit misleading. In a recent interview at IGN, Phil Spencer, head of XBOX, commented on the idea of the game coming to the Microsoft platform saying "Its a business. As I've grown in this role, and I've tried to learn the third party exclusivity thing --and you see us doing far less of it now-- [I've found] it's not something I'm a huge fan of." Later he continues to say, "Different kind of deals happen, and I know that's part of the business, and maybe it'll be my failing in the end. but it's not something I specifically embrace with any deal that's out there, whether it's something else. It's not something I can specifically talk to."
To some, Spencer's reference to third party exclusives in the first quote lead them to assume that Sony and Square Enix have an exclusivity deal with the game.
