During Microsoft’s E3 2018 media briefing, Xbox boss Phil Spencer announced work had begun on “the next Xbox consoles”. Here’s the quote in full:
“The same team that delivered unprecedented performance with Xbox One X is deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles, where we will once again deliver on our commitment to set the benchmark for console gaming.”
While confirmation that Microsoft is working on a new set of Xbox consoles (note the plural) wasn’t particularly surprising, hearing it come from Phil Spencer’s mouth on-stage at this year’s E3 was. Why do it now? That’s what I asked Spencer during an interview that took place just a few hours after Microsoft’s media briefing.
