Xbox chief Phil Spencer: The Xbox One will have a console successor
In an interview with The Verge, Phil Spencer talked about his and the Xbox fans’ passion for what he calls ‘the console experience’. This sits at the heart of Microsoft’s reasoning for pushing ahead with the Xbox One and its gaming partnerships. But it’s also the spark that will lead to a new generation of consoles in the following years.
That may be surprising to some, who’ve noticed that the entire gaming industry is slowly moving towards streaming. There’s no doubt that eventually, the Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo brands will only represent software that lives inside of an ecosystem. Want to play games on your Ultra 4K 3D wrap-around VR HoloRoom? Just open up the Xbox app and you’ll have access to all your games: no disks, no consoles, just streaming.
But that marvelous future is still a few years away; just enough time to give the Xbox One’s successor a reason to exist. Microsoft might already be working on the Xbox Two (or is it the Xbox 1080?) as companies usually spend years on design and engineering before they put out hardware products. Unfortunately, it’s still a bit early for any details to have leaked out, and the Xbox One still has a long life ahead of it.
Regardless, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any details on Microsoft’s plans for its future console.

Elite Dangerous VR Minimum Requirements, probably the first AAA title to show a real depiction of what VR is going to need:
- Top spec i7
- GTX 980
Consoles are going to have come a long way incredibly quickly, or they're going to be behind. They're already laughably behind average PC components (they can't even compete with an i3 and 750Ti).

Dinkleberg Console's seem to be progressively getting better, sales wise, and could possibly be spec wise in the near future. I wouldnt see anything bad with is, other than I dont want to be tempted to buy a new console every year.

Console master race? You mean console eight years behind the race?

MGSV I have both xbox one and ps4 and all the previous game consoles, but particularly the xbox one feels dated and feel more like entertainment that a gaming system. I like a console for solely gaming, thats why ive gone to pc gaming. If they brougt back xbox to how I loved it, I will start playing it again.
Gaming is entertainment. But I know what you are saying and it's not true at all. If Xbox One wasn't meant for gaming, it wouldn't have been made.

since this is basically a PC, is it really going to have a successor? really?
it will only be an update piece of hardware and i doubt the name will change!
give it 5 years and they will change some chip or combinations of chips like 360's Jasper to Trinity/Corona/Winchester. just updated hardware!
