Xbox Series S: the producer of Chronos Before the Ashes is skeptical about the console

If the PS5 models are of equivalent power, this is not the case of the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S. Indeed, with the latter, Microsoft has chosen to offer a less beefy next-gen console. on the technical level, which allows him to market it at a price more than attractive (299 €). However, some players in the video game industry have already wondered about the value of the console, such as David Cage, the boss of the French studio Quantic Dream.

“I must admit that I am not much of a fan of this situation, he had indicated in October. I think it is confusing for developers, but also for gamers. And while I can understand the commercial reasons for this choice (a difference of 200 euros on the sale price), I think the situation is questionable.“Today, it’s Reinhard Pollice’s turn to voice the same doubts.

“I understand the reasoning, explains the executive producer of Chronos: Before the Ashes to our colleagues at Gamingbolt. But in terms of development, it’s always better to only have to focus on one machine. I am not sure the market is ready to accept this type of offer.“Remember that Phil Spencer does not necessarily disagree with this observation. “Absolutely, it’s work, had entrusted the boss of the Xbox division to our colleagues from Kotaku last month. There is no doubt about it. I’m not going to be the basic press secretary, and tell you that working on different specs is like working on a single configuration. If we made this choice, it is quite simply because we want to reach as many players as possible.“

Finally, during the same interview, let us point out that Reinhard Pollice admits to being particularly impressed by the SSD of the PS5. According to him, this is what makes the difference with the previous generation.
