Hvilken konsol bliver den bedste og den mest populære? PlayStation 5 eller Xbox Series X? Det er der uden tvivl mange holdninger til, og efter Sonys PS5-begivenhed er disse diskussioner kun blevet intensiveret. Efter at have set PS5-eventet lyder det, ikke overraskende, til, at Xbox-chef Phil Spencer i hvert fald ikke er i tvivl om, hvilken konsol der er den stærkeste.
Under onsdagens Gamelab Live-konference (via VGC) blev Spencer spurgt om sine umiddelbare reaktioner og tanker ovenpå PS5-eventet, og her udtrykte chefen, at Xbox Series X'en er i en rigtig gunstig position:
"Just being honest, I felt good after seeing their show. I think the hardware advantages that we have built are going to show up as we're talking more about our games and frame rates and other things. I thought the games line-up that we're going to have at launch I felt really good about, and we got more clarity on what they're doing at their show which just helped us focus in on more of what we have, and I think that will be a strength for us at launch.
So I thought they did a good job, I thought they do what they do very well and they did that, but when I think about the position that we're in, with the games that we're going to be able to show and how they're going to show up, and the hardware advantage that we have, I think we're in a very good position."
Vi var i forvejen godt klar over, at Microsoft tilsyneladende ville overgå Sony hardware-mæssigt, men det lader til, at Phil Spencer også føler sig ganske tryk på software-fronten. Det får vi helt sikkert en større indsigt i, når Microsoft afholder deres Xbox-begivenhed næste måned, som sætter fokus på førstepartsspillene.
