Selvom Microsoft som virksomhed har rodet lidt med VR og AR, så har Xbox-afdelingen specifikt været ret afvisende overfor teknologien, og har ikke vist interesse i at konkurrere mere direkte med PlayStation VR fra Sony.
Og det står ikke til at ændre sig lige foreløbig. For nylig talte Phil Spencer ved Wall Street Journals Tech Live Event (via VGC), og her slog han fast, at de ikke bevæger sig ind på VR-markedet inden for den overskuelige fremtid.
"We're big believers in that software platform and the devices that will enable that. Absolutely. [But] we're focused a lot more on the software side of that right now. When I think about immersive worlds and I think about the connection of a player and community, that's something that's very high on our investment list. I think that the hardware innovation that's happening is great and it's an important enabler, [but] right now I'm deciding to stay more in the software side of that enablement. I believe it will scale better in the long run."
Du skal altså ikke forvente at se et Xbox VR-headset lige foreløbig.
