Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft's Xbox division, has some grand visions for the future of both its upcoming hardware and the possibility of future crossovers.
The executive would love to see Project Scorpio - the upcoming, upgraded iteration on the Xbox One - keep a console-appropriate price point, as well as one day have Nintendo's famous platforming plumber, Mario, on Xbox, according to an interview by AusGamers.
While discussing the logistics of the souped-up architecture present in Project Scorpio, Spencer remarks that the console strives for "balance" - particularly the kind that allows the machine to handle true 4K and VR gaming without commanding prices more commonly attached to similarly capable PC rigs.
"I want Scorpio to be at a console price-point, I’m not trying to go and compete with a high-end rig," said Spencer, "and because we’re building one spec, we’re able to look at the balance between all the components and make sure that it’s something we really hit that matters to consumers and gamers.”
