Lots of new details on the next-generation Microsoft console (s)

At E3, Microsoft boss Phil Spencer announced that Redmond was already working on the following consoles. Many thought that they had questioned, but he deliberately chose the plural because there are two new consoles planned. There is now new information.

Code Name Scarlett (twice)

A high-performance console and a streaming-centric device: this is the hardware that Microsoft is currently developing behind closed doors. Thurrott.com has now been able to learn new details. For example, Brad Sams, who is considered highly connected, confirms that Redmond companies are currently planning two different devices.

The first Xbox is a traditional gaming console, the type of device you expect from the brand, and also the hardware you have placed under the TV for complete performance locally. According to Sam's own information, he could not have known too much because the development is still in its infancy.

The second device, centered on streaming, which he is hearing nowadays, however, more and more: "Scarlett Cloud", as a person called the solution, is a streaming game service that is ongoing since 2013. At the time, Microsoft showed a demo at an internal meeting, now they have found a way to access the market.

Cloud Console

The "Scarlett Cloud" material is a device with low energy consumption. Microsoft would have been able to solve the most important aspect of this type of game, namely the sensitivity to latency.

The "cloud console" will also bring limited hardware capabilities, mainly the process controller input, image processing and (most importantly) collision detection locally. Although these hardware components increase the price, the device will cost significantly cheaper than expected from a new generation of consoles.

The company wants to keep the price as low as possible, even now you deserve nothing in terms of hardware (like all other manufacturers). With the group's latest cloud focus, however, Microsoft could sell a lot more subscriptions to services such as Xbox Live, Gamepass and, of course, digital games.

Duplication Calculation

The game is partly run in the cloud and partly locally, the "secret" is that Microsoft manages to put the two components together so that the user does not notice the "merge". In the end, although Microsoft wants to sell hardware, but the ultimate goal is that you can reach and use Xbox services from any device.

However, the group wants to prevent a two-class company, the two Scarlett devices should support all next-gen games. The next full-fledged Xbox is currently scheduled for 2020, the cloud variant will follow a little later.
