Microsoft går meget op i bagudkompatibilitet, og de har desuden slået fast fra starten af, at når Xbox Series X ankommer, så udfaser de ikke eksklusiver til Xbox One lige med det samme. Faktisk kommer stort set samtlige kommende førstepartstitler til begge platforme.
Men det betyder ikke at det er noget Microsoft kræver af deres studier. I et interview med tyske GameStar fortæller Microsoft-chefen Phil Spencer at der ikke er tale om en "hard rule":
"I think what you hear Matt [Booty] talking about and what our creators will say is we have a vision for every game that we're building and the vision starts with the player, not the device. If a creator comes to us and says 'No, I really want to focus on next generation' with their games, we're completely open to that and we're very supportive of that. If a creator comes to us and says I have this vision for reaching these customers across different platforms and different generations we're completely supportive of that."
Dog lader det til at Microsoft ønsker fokusere på at understøtte begge platforme, så det kan jo være at de forsøger at overtale udviklere at udgive på begge platforme.
Tror du at den strategi holder?
