Although one may think the opposite, with Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S there is no desire from Microsoft to stop the development of new consoles Phil Spencer, deputy executive director of the gaming branch of the Redmond company, confirms this during an interview released recently.
After all, it is undeniable that, unlike its competitors Sony and Nintendo, with the Xbox Game Pass and Project xCloud, Microsoft's approach to its new generation of consoles seems decidedly changed by focusing more on hardware (despite the fact that their is the most powerful console in the world) on services dedicated to gaming going in the direction of a system capable of guaranteeing the same fun on multiple devices.
Regardless of Microsoft's plans for its upcoming new consoles, Phil Spencer better clarifies the company's vision and project for the gaming sector:
We are putting the player at the center of everything. This is no longer a device in the middle, you can see it in any other type of media: my TV is with me wherever I go, my music is with me wherever I go. I am in control of the experience and I think the gaming industry is going through the same transformation, that's why as you would say, if you are a Game Pass subscriber you can now play awesome games on our Xbox consoles, on your PC and now on your Android phone via streaming.
Finally, here it is hardware development reassurance:
In terms of future hardware, I absolutely think we will see a lot of new consoles on the road. Like in the video industry, and like in music, streaming hasn't hindered device innovation. I think we will continue on this path and that is absolutely what we are planning.
In short, to summarize the concepts of Phil Spencer we can say that Regardless of the fact that the future of gaming may be a system that can allow us to play on multiple platforms, the sector will still look forward and Microsoft will always plan an innovation for its hardware and, consequently, we will see new consoles in the future..
Of course this could also mean an increasingly gradual approach to mid-generation systems with upgrades of current hardware (think for example of Nintendo strategies, but also of Microsoft with Xbox One X and Sony with PlayStation 4 Pro) and this could be the key. reading the future of Xbox Series consoles. Meanwhile, November 10 is not that far to understand what Microsoft has in store for gamers with its new consoles.
