Animal Talking, Star Wars: Rogue One writer Gary Whitta's talk show set inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons, has aired an interview with head of Xbox Phil Spencer.

The man, who has always seemed to have a soft spot for Nintendo, appeared inside Animal Crossing to talk about the next generation of Xbox, and the recent delay of Halo Infinite.

There were rumors ahead of launch that the game's free-to-play multiplayer could come after launch, but Spencer says that Xbox did not want to do this.

Spencer says he has Microsoft's full support in the decision, even though it would have been nice for the Series X to be the first system since the original Xbox to launch with a Halo game.

After playing games on Series X, he says, it's "hard to go back" to Xbox One, as games feel better on the new system.

The Xbox Series X is expected to launch in November
