Microsoft was concerned about the end of gaming consoles
Peter Moore, the former president of Xbox, spoke about Microsoft's concerns about the end of the console era during the Xbox 360 era.
In every console generation, there are speculations about whether this era will be the last for gaming consoles or not, and according to Peter Moore, the former president of Xbox, there was apparently a similar discussion during the Xbox 360 era. In an interview with IGN, he said that during his time at Xbox, the team was thinking about the future of gaming in 2007.
Moore said, "On a broader scale, even when I was at Microsoft, we were saying in 2007, 'Is this the last generation of consoles?' Will TVs come with chips capable of running games and only need one console? Is the PC a big deal?"
The interviewer then referred to 2007 and said that raising such issues is still far off. "Yes, that was during the Xbox 360 era," Moore replied. "There was this concern. If you think about something that came out in the mid-2000s, [you'd say to yourself], 'How will the end of the decade look?' And based on cycles that were usually five or six years, you'd ask, 'What are the five or six years? Will we need another console?' Well, finally, the answer was yes; but there were doubts."
There are still a lot of speculations about the future of consoles, and many believe that consoles will reach the end of their journey. Of course, at the moment, according to Xbox, we will see at least another powerful console in the coming years.
