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.

I just wonder what kind of connection you will have to have to support a cloud only console that doesn't even have a box. I mean, I am sure that most people's connection won't be able to support this kind of system.

Craigyy_Jr In a few more years they'll make a better one and it just keeps going on and on


Eventually consoles will be killed by steam machines, but hey.


steam machines will never take over 100%.

-Water They make too much, and cost too much, to make one soon. There will probably be one within 10 years, however.


It will be within the next 10 years because that way they'll have enough money to create new consoles


Hopefully It's even before that.

I really don't think it should.
