Phil Spencer reiterates: No exclusives for Scorpio

[KBG29]

Not really that surprising. No reason to make artificial exclusives, when XBO is perfectly capable of playing whatever is made for XBO.

Even if the Scorpio was 12TFLOPS with 16GB of RAM, games made from the ground up for it could be ported to XBO with no issue. It would basically be the same game, just at 900p/1080p with lower quality lighting, and texturing.

The PS4 to PS4 Pro or XBO to Scorpio power increase is closer to X.1 versions than X.5 versions as people are saying. With such a small increase in CPU/GPU power, RAM, and using the same storage, there is really nothing next gen that Pro or Scorpio can do. They are not even powerful enough to play current games built for PS4/XBO at 4K/30 and escpecially 4K/60. When we get real X.5 consoles, 10 - 12TFLOPs, 16 - 24GB RAM, SATA3 SSD in 2019 or 2020, then we will finally have device that can run current level games at 4K/30 or 4K/60, but even those consoles won't be capable of next gen games, even if they built from the ground up.

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms are here to stay, and this gen will be the longest in history, carried along by at least on more +revision from each company. Due to fabrication processes, and cost, no one is going to be making a generational leap any time before 2023 - 2024, when 3nm fabrication hits. By 2020 on 7nm I expect the iPhone and Android devices to reach OG PS4/XBO levels, but at that point we will have the X.5 versions for people who want hgiher quality games. At 3nm iPhone and Android will reach Pro/Scorpio levels, but then we will have PS5 and XBO4, and they will be a decade ahead of mobile yet again.
