Xbox 2 rumors: Will there ever be an Xbox One successor?
Unlike other game consoles, Xbox stands out from the pack in terms of releasing new versions. After the Xbox 360 was released last 2005, gamers had to wait a little over eight years for another one to come out. Reports say people will have to wait again for eight years, but other Xbox fans believe otherwise.
According to Xbox2Gamers, the only certainty is that the Xbox One's prime is still far from reach. In spite of Kinect fizzling out, Microsoft is now putting the spotlight on the HoloLens which is an augmented reality headset. This device might give a revitalized vision for the current Xbox One. The current console will definitely define the standard for gaming in the years to come.
Before gamers ask for a new version of the Xbox, the first question should be if it is on the cards at all, according to Alphr. GeekWire recently interviewed former chief Xbox officer Robbie Bach on this matter, and he agreed with Alphr's statement. He disclosed that a sequel console is not far from possible, but how it will be made depends on the physical media's future state. "What's the balance between what an Apple TV is and what an Xbox or a PlayStation 4 is? These are really interesting questions, and the teams going to have to wrestle with those. That next generation will be a whole new game," Bach added.
Entirely, there is a range of elements that may affect the direction of Microsoft in terms of the Xbox 2 development. It is safe to say that any work on any Microsoft future console is currently accomplishing its earliest phases. However, once the first round of virtual reality (VR) devices comes out, fans can surely expect more details to surface in the months or years.
