We’ve been talking about a possible launch for some time now Xbox Series X Next and Xbox Series S Next, two consoles that would be a revision of the current models, and that would have important improvements at the hardware level. We still didn’t have official information about it, but that changed thanks to the latest statements from Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox division.

In a recent interview, the manager was asked about the possibility that Microsoft release sooner or later a revision with better hardware of both consolesand Spencer replied:

“We are beautiful right now happy with the hardware we have. We didn’t decide to start developing a lot of games under NFT or blockchain just because they gained some popularity. I just want to make sure that games continue to be driven by the experience the player feels and nothing else.”

If we read between the lines, this is what Spencer means they still don’t see the need to run a review with improved hardware from the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but apparently it’s something he doesn’t rule out because, as he says at the end, what matters is the experience that reaches the user. In this case, if the said experience is no longer optimal, because the performance of the said consoles becomes insufficient Yes, more powerful versions will need to be listed.

On the other hand, it should be taken into account that even in this It will affect what Sony decides to do with the rumored PS5 Pro, a console that, according to the most up-to-date and reliable information we have seen, could hit the market at the end of next year and should be priced between 499 and 599 euros. If said console does make it to market, it’s clear that Microsoft will have to step up and launch the Xbox Series X Next with more powerful hardware to deal with it.

I’m not so sure that Microsoft will even release a version of the Xbox Series S with more powerful hardware, but it’s something we can’t completely rule out at this point, so we’ll put it on the “possible things” list. I personally believe that It would be interesting, especially, to see how well the Xbox Series S did despite its modest configuration, however, in the end, Microsoft has the last word.
