Microsoft Says Xbox One Is Its Last Console Generation

In an interview with Engadget, Microsoft's head of Xbox games marketing Aaron Greenberg said that the current consoles generation might well be the last one.

Xbox One S is on track to be released less than 3 years after Xbox One and Project Scorpio is set to follow in a few months. For comparison, Xbox 360 remained largely unchanged for 8 whole years. When asked whether the accelerated timeline was meant to continue, Greenberg conceded.

"I think it is. ... For us, we think the future is without console generations; we think that the ability to build a library, a community, to be able to iterate with the hardware -- we're making a pretty big bet on that with Project Scorpio. We're basically saying, "This isn't a new generation; everything you have continues forward and it works." We think of this as a family of devices."

Greenberg also clarified that while there won't be any Scorpio-exclusive "console games," there will be exclusive "virtual reality experiences."
