När vi pratade med Xbox-bossen Phil Spencer i juni berättade han att Xbox Scorpio är deras svar på den skalbara PC-marknaden. En av hans kommentarer löd:
"I think if you look at most of the top developers today they're focusing on both consoles and PC. And as we all know, PC has scaleable architecture already."
Vissa tolkade det som att han sade att en av framtidens Xbox-konsoler skulle vara skalbar. Nu verkar det som att det scenariot kan vara mer rimligt än man kunde ha trott.
När Engadget frågade Aaron Greenberg, Microsofts head of Xbox games marketing, om detta kan vara den sista konsolgenerationen sade han:
"I think it is. ... For us, we think the future is without console generations; we think that the ability to build a library, a community, to be able to iterate with the hardware -- we're making a pretty big bet on that with Project Scorpio. We're basically saying, 'This isn't a new generation; everything you have continues forward and it works.' We think of this as a family of devices."
"But we'll see. We're going to learn from this, we're going to see how that goes. So far I'd say, based on the reaction, there appears to be a lot of demand and interest around Project Scorpio, and we think it's going to be a pretty big success. If the games and the content deliver, which I think they will do, I think it will change the way we think about the future of console gaming."
Vad tror GR-läsarna om det här?
