Aaron Greenberg wants Xbox gaming to move beyond console generations

by

Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg recently sat down with Engadget and discussed the future of the Xbox brand. Instead of having console generations in which games don’t carry over and older platforms are left behind, Microsoft wants to build a platform that lasts no matter what box sits underneath your television. He said:

“I think it is…For us, we think the future is without console generations, we think that the ability to build a library, a community, to be able to iterate with the hardware, we’re making a pretty big bet on that with Project Scorpio. We’re basically saying ‘this isn’t a new generation, everything you have continues forward and it works.’ We think of this as a family of devices. But we’ll see, we’re going to learn from this, we’re going to see how that goes. So far I’d say based on the reaction there appears to be a lot of demand and interest around Project Scorpio, and we think it’s going to be a pretty big success. If the games and the content deliver, which I think they will do, I think it will change the way we think about the future of console gaming.”

The fact that Xbox Scorpio carries all of the games forward along with features and accessories makes the idea of console generations pointless to an extent. Xbox Scorpio, given its phenomenal power of 6 TFLOPS, is substantially more than the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Neo. It can definitely be classified as a leap of a console generation but it really isn’t because all your games and peripherals work. This is why gaming’s future rests in what PCs offer customers. I can’t wait for the release of the console and to see how Microsoft’s vision outlined by Aaron materializes in the next year.
