Xbox Series S is a current generation console and Xbox Series X is the equivalent of the Xbox One X. That’s how Phil Spencer once described his consoles. It seems he doesn’t intend to change anything about that and is currently at Microsoft they don’t think about a more powerful version. And this despite growing speculation from the other camp. According to unofficial information, Sony is preparing not only a PS5 with a removable drive, but also a more powerful PS5, the so-called PlayStation 5 Prowhich should have significantly higher performance compared to the basic model.
The head of the gaming division of Microsoft is of the opinion that I should not throw sticks under the feet of developers and leave them alone to familiarize themselves with current consoles. That’s the only way they can squeeze as much as possible out of them. According to Spencer an intergenerational console won’t help creators or gamers. Still, he understands why people ask about the “Pro” version. Part of this is due to the belief by some that every game should run at 4K at 60fps, and current hardware can’t do that.

“If we’re talking about more frames per second and higher resolution, just look at what’s happening on PCs with high-end GPUs and high-end CPUs. It’s not always just about the number of pixels or frame rate. There are lighting techniques. There are a lot of things that go into making a game look and run great. And we still have a lot of catching up to do as an industry.” stated Phil Spencer on the Gamescom server IGN.
But Spencer wonders if the strict definition of the console generation as we know it today will still be relevant in the future. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X aren’t quite a step forward, but they’re still a step up from their predecessors. He gives the PC as an example, where we are not talking about the latest graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia as part of generation a we see them as gradual improvements rather than a great leap forward. He himself is curious about how it will be with consoles in the future. However, Microsoft wants another console at some point, but Spencer cannot now answer whether they will be a big step forward or an incremental improvement.
Microsoft is now preparing Xbox Series S with 1 TB SSD. It will be sold from September 1 of this year in black. He also recently introduced special covers for the Xbox Series X.
