Xbox boss Phil Spencer has revealed that Microsoft’s original goal, at the time when Don Mattrick was running the Xbox division, was for the Xbox One brand to sell 200 million consoles.
According to figures obtained by MCV, the week of the Xbox One S launch saw United Kingdom sales jump an astonishing 989 per cent compared to the previous week. The vast majority of current and upcoming games are in fact going to be designed with Full HD graphics and at best only playable in upscaled Full HD which simulated native 4K. Do not expect PS4 Pro and Xbox One S to be stable very soon.
The release of the Xbox One S this past August was a key turning point in the video game industry. “So the net result of those thoughts was PlayStation 4 Pro – and, by and large, a graphical approach to game improvement”, House told The Guardian.
“We needed to make sure other features that we’re building are really embracing the games and gamers that are out there in the game development community and that our console is for them first”, he continued.
Currently, HDR content on apps like Netflix and YouTube are tied directly to 4K content – something only the PS4 Pro is capable of displaying. Since the emergence of home consoles in the mid-80s, generations have tended to come in cycles of around five to seven years. Good luck all, and let us know in the comments if you still managed to find stock anywhere. Me, I’ve been on the Xbox since we launched the original Xbox.
How much will Xbox Scorpio cost? While the PS4 Pro has the potential to reach an impressive figure, the Xbox Scorpio mops the floor with it. Lack of 4K disc players was seen behind Sony’s surprising announcement.
In an interview with Tech Radar, he said: “Scorpio is part of the Xbox One family. all of your games and accessories will work”.
It’s been interesting seeing you guys pivot; less of an emphasis on Kinect, backwards compatibility, the One S, your Play Anywhere initiative. “With that in consideration, it will be easier to take advantage of the performance difference of Scorpio because these guys are already building games that far surpass what consoles can do today”. No reason that they should have to go buy one’. You make the decision about the games you want to play, and where you want to play them.
