Almost three years following the release of the 9th generation consoles, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 continue their journey and have become more popular over time despite the supply and launch problems experienced in their early days. From now on, the rumors evoke more and more the release of improved versions at the two manufacturers, but for Xbox, it is not the priority.
Phil Spencer focuses on other issues related to existing consoles
It was during an exchange with the journalists ofIGN present at Gamescom that Phil Spencer, the boss of Xbox, stopped to discuss various subjects and in particular that of an upgrade of the Xbox Series X|S. Here’s what he explained when asked by reporters if internal teams were working on new consoles:
“No, no. We’re currently focused on increasing the storage of the Xbox Series S. But no, like I said, we’re kind of at the end of the beginning in my opinion. So I think we have to let developers familiarize themselves with this material and make the most of it.
But when it comes to the increased refresh rate and increased resolution, I’m looking at what’s happening on PC with high end GPUs and high end CPUs, and it’s not always just a matter of number of pixels or image resolution. I think there are lighting techniques. There are a whole host of things that go into making a game look good and enjoyable to play. And we have a lot of leeway as an industry at this level.”
For Phil Spencer, upgrading these consoles is absolutely not a priority and he wants to do his best with existing machines to keep them going rather than releasing new versions prematurely. It is clear that this approach is smarter from an economic and eco-responsible point of view, for consumers as well as for the brand.
In addition, some development studios are still taming these new machines and imposing new standards with still different machines would not hold water.
