I mean they already have a two console approach I would love to see a Series Z because I disagree with anyone who says we don't need it as next-gen get more demanding 30 fps will be the norm for AAA. If Sony ends up launching a 20+ tflop machine next year I'm sure they'll receive a lot of feedback then Phil can come on stage and say his classic line "we've heard you" and introduce a 30 tflop monster

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Neither do I.

Next year surely.
Everytime you choose between performance and graphics you could be having both on the series eXtreme.

I think the split between Series S and X is about 70/30. It would be a waste of time and money to try to get your casual Series S gamer to pay for a more expensive console.

Those two things can be solved already with a PC which Microsoft makes money on as well.

The guy also thinks you don't need good games to sell consoles sooo....

That's a big if. I don't think either will do a Pro console this generation. There isn't that big push like there was with the sudden and drastic spike in 4K television adoption.

Could be the case, but Xbox staff like Greenberg and Spencer also have to know how their fan base is going to take statements like this.

Their two big games this year (Redfall and Starfield) are both 30 fps and are next gen. Sounds like the consoles are underpowered to me.

I do not believe a single word. He will say whatever you want to hear and say exactly the opposite, when required, with incredible ease

Well the xbox devision delivered a great console...with awesome features like quick resume...suffered on the software side with covid but now seem to be on track ro deliver a consistent output of top shelf games....it just took a while.
If we have dope games in 18 months he's done a great job.
Think about it. This gen has just started, we finally saw next gen games from everyone this summer. Third parties delivering with ubisoft etc...I think its just taken a while to get this gen going thanks to the shite pandemic.

If there is a Ps5 Pro, then there is also 100% an Xbox X Pro.

I think he simply meant there is no need for this year.

What's considerably later? Looking at history the One X launched 3 years before a new generation so 2025 with next-genarriving 2028? I think that'll line up perfectly and it'll come in more powerful than the PS5 Pro with a year later launch

The Series X Pro already exists for people who want one, it's called a gaming PC.

Either MS knows Sony isn't making a PS5 Pro, or they are just keeping it quiet that there will be a PS5 Pro and a Series XX next year.

Why stop at buying a PC? We should all buy people & control them as our own characters

Spencer is right you know. A Series X pro already exists, it's called a PC right?
Like the PC market?

A pro would need to be absolutely ridiculously strong to warrant another purchase for the exact same console.
The pro in ps4 pro was hardly "pro" at all.
Checkerboard resolution.
Some games STILL 30fps
lmfao

Instant chaos at MS headquarter unless they can push something out within minimum 1 year.
I guess they could tweak the PR and claim that a PC is kinda their constant Pro when everything comes out on PC day 1. But hardware prices needs to go dooooown.

The cost of the GFX card need to bring PC-style raytracing at 60 FPS means, we'll have to wait for the next-gen of consoles to offer that.
So Phil is right there is no need for a Pro given the current consoles have decent GPUs at the mo

No, one of their 2 big games this year (I'd hardly call Redfall a big game) is 4k60 with raytraced reflections.

The 1.3TFLOPs GCN1.0 equivalent on PC is the Radeon HD 7770 2GB and subsequent refreshes.
When was the last time you saw the HD7770 2GB as minimum requirement for a graphically intensive game? Do you think you'll find one going forward?
Even Diablo 4, which isn't at all a graphically intensive game and has rock bottom requirements for 2023, is asking for a HD7950 3GB which is a >3 TFLOPs graphics card.
