Phil Spencer: "Xbox Series S går ingen vegne"

Det er umiddelbart svært at sige om hvorvidt Xbox Series S kan betragtes som en succes. Selve konceptet om at have konsolversioner der er billigere, og lettilgængelige for en anden type forbruger giver mening, men udviklere har brokket sig over hvor frustrerende det er at skulle lancere spil på den platform.

Men lige meget hvad man mener om Series S, så slår Phil Spencer nu endegyldigt fast, at denne del af deres samlede strategi ikke går nogen vegne. I et interview ovre hos Destin Legarie siger han dette:

"In a way I think about it in almost exactly the opposite way right now. With the rise of handheld PCs and even the introduction so far of the Switch 2, as developers we're building on more device specs, from lower powered... because they're battery powered devices, all the way through things that plug into the wall. I actually think we have a real advantage because we've been targeting S for quite a while, that our games have been built and they're portable across many different specs."

Han mener desuden at netop ROG Ally, den kommende Xbox-håndholdte og andre lignende produkter baner vejen for Xbox Series S:

"So when we look at something like a Steam Deck or ROG Ally or something, we've got this S version of the games, that's more tailored to the device specs of a lot of devices that frankly are getting introduced right now, and I think that helps us."
