Secondo un noto insider di Microsoft, il progetto della doppia console Xbox Project Scarlett sarebbe stato temporaneamente accantonato. A darne notizia è stato Klobrille, e secondo le sue fonti uno dei due progetti è stato fermato.
Come già trapelato in precedenti leak, Microsoft starebbe lavorando a due versioni della sua prossima console. Una più potente chiamata Anaconda e l’altra meno performante chiamata Lockheart.
Secondo le fonti dell’insider, la strategia ora sarebbe cambiata e Microsoft si starebbe concentrando su un unico modello.
L’idea di vendere una Xbox Project Scarlett a un prezzo più economico e dedicata a chi non ha una TV 4K è davvero intrigante, ma potrebbe non essere altrettanto interessante dal punto di vista del marketing.
There are more and more reports coming in that the leaked next-gen Xbox two SKU strategy is put on hold for now and Microsoft might go into next-gen with one SKU. I have no updates on this other than the fact that yes, obviously 1 1/2 years before release plans can change.

My take: the idea of a "value" next-gen Xbox that is priced lower than the competition sounds great to reach more people. I don't see any substantial technical sacrifices to be made to games if you scale with resolution and effects that are part of the PC gaming everyday world.

I don't see Xbox – as a console device – having the same brand power like Playstation, which is why going equal in both performance & price with the competition is a mistake. Still hope the 2 SKU strategy is a thing. If not, the one SKU needs to be a killer device in perf/price.

One last tweet on this: yes, it is -perfectly- possible MS is still going with the two SKU strategy, like previously reported already. I'm only echoing what I'm hearing and I can not make a definitive statement with still 1 1/2 years to go. Only adding some transparency 🙂
