New Xbox on the way? Phil Spencer talks about it

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer does not consider the launch of a new console necessary. This information was confirmed by the head in an interview with the media. bloomberg, right after the Xbox Games Showcase.

A more powerful and updated version of each console generation usually arrives about three to four years after the initial launch. In this case, Phil Spencer’s comments come two and a half years after the launch of the Xbox Series X/S., so we’d be pretty close to that regular window by now.

While this may come as a surprise to some, the truth is that this generation of consoles is somewhat atypical. The development of hardware is slower and slower, resulting in a more gradual development of graphics than in the first decade of the 21st century. Also, technologies such as 8K resolution aren’t in as much demand, either because consumers don’t notice much of a difference or because the equipment needed to view it is quite expensive.

Whatever the case, after years of shortages as a result of the pandemic and a more limited catalog of high-end games than previous generations, Xbox Series X/S still has a lot to prove. But they are not the only ones, and the Sony PlayStation 5 should also solve the same problem.
