He explains that prototypes are already in development and that market research to gauge public interest is underway. However, it will be a few years before the project comes to fruition, with Microsoft currently focusing its efforts on improving the Xbox app. Unrelated, but Spencer also took the opportunity to launch a friendly dig at the new PlayStation 5 Pro and its high price: "I feel pretty optimistic about the future of this industry," he said. "To attract new players, we have to be creative and adopt new business models, new devices and new methods of access. We're not going to grow the market with $1,000 consoles." And bam.
