Phil Spencerin mukaan suoratoistaminen ei korvaa perinteisiä konsoleja lähitulevaisuudessa

Videopelaaminen siirtyy kovaa vauhtia kohti suoratoistoa verkkopalvelujen alati parantuessa. Xbox-pomo Phil Spencer on kuitenkin sitä mieltä, ettei perinteinen konsolipelaaminen ole lähiaikoina häviämässä mihinkään. Asia ilmeni LevelUpin haastattelussa, josta raportoi Reset Era.

"No. There are certain scenarios where a stream game is the best answer. On a console the best scenario for you is to download that game and play. If you are on a PC that`s capable of download and play that game, download and play that game. Not all devices are capable of playing the most demanding games that we see here on the show, so streaming is an option in those scenario, and there are some scenarios of like instant start and trials where maybe streaming on a device might be interesting, but I think for years and years the best way to play a game will be to download that game and play it. The same thing on PC. I think streaming is something that is further out in terms of it becoming a really mass marked where everybody`s doing it, and even way further out before it`s the best way to play that game, if it ever is.

It's about giving you a choice as a player, not about replacing what you do today."
