Xbox新任女掌門阿莎·夏爾馬正在迎來越多Xbox粉絲的認可，甚至有玩家稱讚阿莎·夏爾馬，稱夏爾馬才來Xbox部門兩個月就已經幹得比她的前任——菲爾·斯賓塞幹了十年還要好。
儘管一開始很多媒體和玩家對阿莎·夏爾馬空降CEO職位持懷疑態度，但她展現出了推行變革的極大熱情。在社交媒體上，許多粉絲開始將阿莎·夏爾馬和菲爾·斯賓塞進行對比。
Game Pass的降價，新主機定價將主打親民，放棄「Microsoft Gaming」品牌，回歸Xbox初心，圍繞獨占的討論，以及近期關於Xbox未來願景的講話似乎為這位新任CEO贏得了不少讚譽。許多人甚至表示，在阿莎·夏爾馬的領導下，他們對Xbox的未來充滿希望。
在社交媒體上，有玩家列出了菲爾·斯賓塞的八宗罪：
- 關閉了《神鬼預言》開發商Lionhead
- 《除暴戰警3》撒的慌
- Xbox Series X|S糟糕首發
- 《紅霞島》翻車
- This is an Xbox策略
- 用華碩掌機冒充主機欺騙消費者
- 《龍鱗化身》夭折
- 收購動視暴雪，裁員數千名員工
當然在他的領導下也有很多優點，比如向下兼容，但大多數還是謊言和管理無能。
I’m ready to admit Phil Spencer was a terrible CEO. 1. Lionhead was killed 2. Crackdown 3 lies 3. Xbox Series X/S had a terrible launch 4. Redfall flopped 5. 「This is an Xbox」 6. Scamming customers with ASUS handheld and acting like they’re consoles 7. Scalebound killed 8. The messy acquisition of Activision and laying off thousands of employees There’s many positives to his leadership such as backwards compatibility but it was mostly lies and terrible management
I remain skeptical about Asha Sharma, as she will eventually make baffling decisions as a CEO. They also need to do much more to heal the Xbox brand, but these recent moves are steps in the right direction, which is something that Phil Spencer couldn’t even be bothered with
Asha Sharma, already has better ideas than Phil Spencer ever had. While the jury is still out, I find myself curious, and hopeful for the future of Xbox. All that remains, is proper execution of said ideas/ambition
