Xbox Scarlett Will Set A New Bar For Console Gaming, Says Microsoft

4.2
This past Sunday, Microsoft finally revealed its next-gen Xbox, codenamed Project Scarlett. Microsoft didn't say much about the console, but what it did divulge sounded awfully similar to the PlayStation 5. That said, Microsoft's aim with the new Xbox is to set a new bar for console gaming, which it's confident it will do with Scarlett. More specifically, the team over at Xbox believe the Scarlett will "set a new bar for expectations of console gaming." In other words, push console gaming beyond what many think it's capable of.



“It’s really about eliminating all those bottlenecks, so those game developers can really deliver on their visions, to try and enable developers to make the best possible versions of their games,” said Xbox Corporate Vice President Mike Ybarra while speaking to Windows Central about developing Xbox Scarlett. “I will say that we’re very confident in what we’re building, something that will set a new bar for expectations of console gaming.”


Apparently, the goal of Xbox is to be the console "where games play best," which wasn't the case with the Xbox One, but has been the case for Xbox since it launched the Xbox One X. That said, according to some rumors floating around, it doesn't seem like it achieved this. According to a few people, who cite developer chatter at E3 and beyond, the PS5 is actually more powerful than the next Xbox. Whether this is true or not, who knows, but there are multiple, credible people saying they've been hearing this. Yet, here we are with Microsoft confident the Xbox Scarlett will set a new bar for console gaming. Alas, at this point all we can do is wait for more information about the two next-gen consoles to spill out. At the end of the day though, no matter which winds up being more powerful, both Sony and Microsoft seem very confident in the product they are developing.

"Frame rates we've never seen before"
"120 FPS"
:O my PC 6 years ago was never capable of this

Jokes aside, I hope the console does great and isn't another false marketing scheme.

TTG, you linked this exact article twice..

OT: Super excited to see what it really brings to the table. I'm hoping next gen won't be about who has more power and more about playing with anyone anywhere.

as long as they dont say its gonna be a discless console i can see it happening if its discless like the stupid overpriced xbox one s digital version then sony won again with the ps5 when that launches.

im excited to hear more about it just so i could make sure to buy it when its only 120$ on sale if its discless, and dont tell me cd drives makes consoles more expensive when the drives cost only 15$

for real though this has been linked twice but still excited to learn more about the scarlett and ps5
