The new console generation is on the verge. Game systems Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X they are approaching inexorably and the Internet is buzzing in heated debates about which platform is more productive and where there will be a more impressive picture. But there is another important point – this is the approach to the release of exclusive games, where Sony and Microsoft took quite opposite positions.
As you know, in the foreseeable future Microsoft She doesn’t plan to share her audience – at least over the next 1-2 years, practically in all major releases from the company’s internal studios, you can easily play both the Xbox One and the upcoming launch Xbox Series X. In its turn Sony She chose a slightly different path – the Japanese platform holder emphasized the concept of “generations“and explained that their turnover is something extremely important, respectively Ghost of tushusha will be the last major exclusive Playstation 4, and all the following projects of studios such as Naughty dog, Sucker punch productions, Insomniac games and others will be created exclusively under Playstation 5.
This circumstance has raised questions and concerns among some Xbox fans who suggest that due to politics Microsoft old iron just won’t give Xbox Series X turn around at full power. However Phil Spencer I am sure that this is absolutely not the case, as he told in a recent interview with the publication Gamesindustry.biz.
“I will tell you frankly, the idea of some kind of “restrictions” is an ordinary meme that was invented by people who were headlong stuck in endless disputes about the iron race. The diversity of gaming computers on the market does not in the least deter the quality of the games that you see on the PC. The most impressive of them are able to demonstrate something that we, in principle, rarely see in the industry. Therefore, the idea that developers do not understand how to assemble their projects, engines and tools, create an ecosystem that can be deployed on a number of devices, can be completely dispelled by the example of a PC as a gaming platform, ”Phil Spencer explained.
Moreover, Phil Spencer considers Sony’s approach to producing exclusive games contrary to his beliefs about “what gaming is based on in principle”.
“Players are the center of our entire strategy. Not consoles and not games. We need to give you the opportunity to play projects of interest to you with people of interest on any device. Gaming is about entertainment, community, diversity, new adventures, new perspectives. Therefore, deliberately limiting part of the audience from being able to touch some games is counterproductive. The same applies to situations where you force people to buy a new system, and exactly when we need it, setting the only condition that opens the way for users to the world of games“Phil Spencer finished the thought.
