Microsoft Corp’s video gaming chief Phil Spencer: “Right now, we’re pretty set on the hardware we have.”
“That’s not the feedback we’re getting right now,” Spencer said in an interview with Bloomberg News shortly after the company hosted its annual Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday in Los Angeles. “Right now, we’re pretty set on the hardware we have.”
Today, the rate at which console developers are able to capitalise on improvements in hardware is slower, allowing for more incremental advancements, than leaps in technology. For example, 8K technology is not as in-demand as 4K, because some consumers can’t tell the difference and cutting-edge hardware is expensive.
“We didn’t go off and start building a bunch of NFT games or blockchain games,” Spencer said. “I just want to make sure that the games are led by the experience that the player feels and nothing else.” Microsoft is trying execute its potentially biggest gaming deal yet, a US$69bil acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has blocked the deal over concerns about potential dominance in the cloud gaming market and the US Federal Trade Commission has sued to stop it. Microsoft is appealing the UK decision.
