Console Wars Start to Heat Up Again With News of PS5 Pro Coming, Calls Question on Xbox CEO’s Claims of “We Won’t Be Beaten on Price or Power”

There has always been an ongoing console war between the two biggest rivals in the video game industry – Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox. While there has never been a clear winner between the two, that might change soon.

Microsoft is currently trying to complete the biggest acquisition in video game history but has hit some snags. In the meanwhile, Sony is focusing on its products and is developing new consoles. They recently announced a new handheld console at the PlayStation Showcase 2023. Furthermore, they are also working on a new PlayStation 5 Pro console. If the PS5 Pro console hits the market, it will definitely raise challenges for Xbox consoles. But Xbox CEO thinks otherwise.

Xbox CEO thinks they do not need a new console right now

While their competition is taking huge strides in delivering a new product, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer revealed his company is currently not working on one. In an interview with Bloomberg after the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, he stated that the company feels a new Xbox Series X/S console is not needed right now. “That’s not the feedback we’re getting right now,” he said, “Right now, we’re pretty set on the hardware we have.”

Although he feels the hardware in the current Xbox console is up to the mark, the company is still releasing an updated console. The Series S console is getting a carbon black version with a 1TB SSD. These minor upgrades, however, might not be enough to keep up with the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro.
