There have been a lot of speculation that we are entering the final console generation. However, it sounds like Microsoft will still be in the console business as the Xbox One Scorpio won’t be its last console.
A fan on Twitter asked Phil Spencer if the Xbox One Scorpio will be the last console that Microsoft ever produces. He felt that Microsoft will be leaving the console business in order to concentrate on PC games only.
Spencer denied this and confirmed that “no“, the Scorpio won’t be the last console for Microsoft. Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra chimed in too and said there’s a “lot of innovation still to be realized“. They’re not out of the console race yet!
Whether or not Microsoft changes its mind in the near future remains to be seen. It will be sad if consoles are gone in the future. For now, it’s good to see that they’re staying for the foreseeable future.
