Phil Spencer finds it difficult to appreciate those console improvements only with videos; You need to feel it budding, at your discretion.
Phil Spencer, Xbox Chief Vice President and Microsoft Vice President, has participated in the second episode of the Talking Games With Reggie and Harold podcast led by Reggie Fils-Aime, former President of Nintendo of America. During the conversation, the relaxed atmosphere gave space to the new generation and the difficulties that come with the task of communication: letting players know that your new console, Xbox Series X in their case, is really a leap from the previous one.
"How to show people something that must be felt?"
For Phil Spencer it is difficult that through a video people can fully appreciate and understand the improvements that Xbox Series X will bring compared to the current generation of consoles because it is something that, in his opinion, must be experienced empirically. “One of the things that I have talked about openly… but that is difficult to convey is how it feels to be able to play video games in a box where the frame rate per second is higher; where the framerates are more stable ”, he begins saying in this regard.

“Fluency, showing that in video form is simply impossible. How can you show how something feels? ”He reflects. Especially, considering that the video publication portals do not show the real image quality of the video games that we later have at home; nor at the same FPS rate.
“We are getting to the point where the feeling of immersion you can have through fluency and other aspects is already on par with visual capabilities. How do you share all that with people in a world like this? ”, He adds without hesitation.
The debate about whether the new generation will earn more from the power of CPUs and GPUs or whether it will do so from the speed of new SSDs is yet to be decided. There are voices that stay with the former and others that prefer the latter. What few doubt is that the generation that will launch Xbox Series X and PS5 will represent a qualitative and quantitative leap in relation to the current console cycle. Christmas 2020 is the date we are hosting for now. You can check here everything we know about Xbox Series X; In this other article, everything related to PlayStation 5.
