While the decision is ultimately up to Remedy Entertainment, <em>Alan Wake<\/em> has been a Microsoft-centric IP, with the original appearing on Xbox 360 and PC, and Remedy has been Xbox-focused on the console side since development began on <em>Alan Wake <\/em>over 10 years ago. As for a sequel, Spencer said that, right now, \u201call of our focus with [Remedy Entertainment] is on <em>Quantum Break<\/em>, but as we finish I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll talk about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EnderRising?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EnderRising<\/a> Right now all of our focus with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/remedygames?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@remedygames<\/a> is on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QuantumBreak?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@QuantumBreak<\/a> but as we finish I&#39;m sure we&#39;ll talk about the future.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XboxP3\/status\/683186695341121536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you ever poke your head into Spencer\u2019s Twitter mentions, you\u2019ll invariably see among the chatter fans asking for features ranging from the likely to the impossible. One that Spencer chose to respond to was the idea of streaming Xbox One to an Xbox 360 instead of to Windows 10.
