Xbox One shouldn’t be last Microsoft console, says Spencer

4.6
Xbox One isn’t necessarily Microsoft’s last home console, according to Phil Spencer. He reckons home computation is still important for the time being.

It follows Spencer’s comments that mid-tier and indie games are harder to sell in the mass market, hence the need for a program like ID@Xbox.

Responding to a fan on Twitter, Spencer posted the following:

@XboxP3 Tough question, but do you think Xbox One is the last console as "we know it"? You know, running on local hardware.

The need for physical components in the home – processors and the like – is still there, and it’s clear that Microsoft’s cloud compute is only shouldering a share of game processing for the time being.

As we saw with Sony’s PlayStation Now reveal last week, cloud computing is slowly becoming a trend in the industry. How long will it be before we ditch the boxes entirely? That’s another conversation.

Not at all, the Xbox One is a great console. It has it's problems but ever console does when it's first released, hell, most electronics have problems when they're first released.

Man they need to make a console where we can go into the game and play the game like real life. Of course certain games like sports game will need to be changed.

Dorkus I hope Microsoft make like a xbox one elite or something like that. They are most likely planning on doing that though.


I'm almost sure they will eventually have multiple editions of the Xbox One. I really hope they eventually release a white version of it because the console give to Developers looked sweet.

Of course, they might add some improvements to it.
