Xbox One X er bare lige om hjørnet, og med lanceringen af Microsofts nye konsol bliver markedet straks mere interessant, da både Sony og Microsoft har almindelige og deluxe-udgave til salg. Hvorimod Xbox One X kunne lige et direkte modsvar på lanceringen af PlayStation 4 Pro, så fastholder Microsoft dog at dette ikke er tilfældet.
For nylig talte Microsofts Albert Penello en kende om Sonys konsol i et interview med MCV, og her fortalte han, at selvom det er overraskende at begge firmaer har valgt nogenlunde samme koncept, så er tilgangen anderledes:
"I give them a lot of credit for what they did there but for me, the most interesting observation is that we both arrived at a similar idea even if the execution is slightly different"
"This business tends to diverge and converge in interesting ways, and obviously we don't know what they're doing. We don't have insight into what their plans are, so when they announced the Pro, I was as surprised as anybody else was,"
"They had a different idea in mind for what they wanted to build, so in retrospect it may seem like we were reacting to what they were doing. But people in the business know that this has been in the works for years, and we have to lock the specs years in advance,"
Det er så sandelig sjovt at begge firmaer har to lignende produkter på markedet. Spørgsmålet er, hvilken af disse synes du træffer de rigtige beslutninger?
