Microsoft calls the Xbox Series X the most powerful console in the world. According to the founder and moderator of the Game Awards, however, there is no conclusive evidence of this.
- Microsoft is launching the Xbox Series X soon.
- According to the company, the next-gen console will be the most powerful console in the world.
- But according to Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley, there is still no real proof.
Microsoft and Sony have different strategies for their new consoles. As usual, the Playstation 5 will rely on new exclusive titles. Xbox boss Phil Spencer criticizes this approach * because it excludes gamers. Microsoft is therefore not only relying on the new console, but on accessibility and the Xbox Game Pass. At the same time, the most powerful console in the world, the Xbox Series X, will come onto the market - but there has not yet been a real demonstration that justifies this name. Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley also longs for it and criticizes Microsoft.
Xbox Series X: Performance has not yet been adequately demonstrated
Keighley was a guest at IGN Unfiltered, where he spoke about next-gen consoles. There he explains: “You still have to prove that it is the most powerful console in the world . They keep talking about that, and I don't want to go into all the specs now, but I think they need to show that the Series X really is the best performing [console]. I want to see the games that demonstrate that, and I haven't seen that before . ”Still, the Game Awards founder doesn't believe that performance is what matters in the end. It would depend on the games and the content. But even here he still has his doubts about the next-gen Xbox.

Keighley explains that the First - Party - Games a challenge for Microsoft and Xbox had shown earlier. The most recent example he uses is the gameplay concept of " Halo Infinite ". Players reacted very disappointed. Keighley still hopes it will turn out to be a good title.
In his opinion, the Xbox Game Pass is great, but it also lacks “flagship games”. He believes that these are the titles that players would be most interested in.
Xbox Series X versus PS5: The price will be decisive, according to Keighley
Keighley's verdict is: At the moment, he doesn't see anything from the new Xbox that could dramatically change gaming. But he thinks that the price will be a decisive factor. So the following question arises for him: How big is the price difference between the Xbox Series X and the PS5? It is not yet clear how much the two consoles will cost - but Microsoft and Sony should reveal that shortly. (Ök) * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen-Digital editors network.
