It seems clear that the metaverses they are a tool for the future that they want to consolidate at all costs. Meta has fully immersed itself in this type of project and even Microsoft wants to lead what aims to be the future of the technology industry. Nevertheless, phil spencer it is not clear to him.
At least if we take into account the current metaverses. During a talk with TWSJ, revealed by The Verge, the person in charge of Xbox has revealed that for him they are like “a poorly built video game”. In fact, he is surprised by the difference between the possibilities of a video game developer and the result we see from a metaverse on screen.
“Video game creators have an amazing knack for building compelling worlds that we want to spend time in. For me, building a metaverse that feels like a meeting room… I just find that’s not where I want to spend most of my time.” “
Of course, Spencer himself acknowledges that, although “I make fun of it a little”, we are facing a form of interaction that “I think we arrived early”. Therefore, he believes that “they will end up looking a lot more like video games than some of the models I see for the metaverse today.” Also, it’s a firm bet with franchises like Halo or Microsoft Flight Simulator. If they’re like the one they created for the 20th anniversary of Xbox I’d be happy to visit it.
For its part, Nintendo still does not know what use to give it and the creator of PlayStation rejects the idea. The manager has pointed in other directions during his speech. He has indicated that it is more than likely that Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Series will increase their prices, at the same time that Call of Duty must look to Minecraft to grow.
