Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Sony's worldwide game studios, responded via Twitter to Spencer's statements: Yoshida writes that Sony often works hard on technologies that no customer would have asked for.<\/p>\n

Microsoft sticks with it: The Xbox does not need Virtual Reality. Confirmed Xbox boss Phil Spencer in relation to Project Scarlett.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xbox and Virtual Reality: This story goes way back. Already 2016<\/a> There was a collaboration between Microsoft and Oculus in the room, but nothing came of it. It was said in spring 2017 from official side<\/a>that the Xbox One X (at that time still Project Scorpio) Get VR support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft did not keep its promise, even though the company was Windows Mixed Reality<\/a> operates its own PC VR platform - though here too the signs are goodbye<\/a>, A software update might have been enough to make Windows glasses compatible with the Xbox.<\/p>\n

According to a report from 2018<\/a> Microsoft worked on one own Xbox glasses<\/strong>but have the project set. The reason: Microsoft should have feared that an "immature VR experience" could damage the image of the Xbox One X.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Australian website Stevivor from 2016<\/a> Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that most VR content feels like demos and experimentation and that the Xbox One X will not get VR support until the technology is more mature.<\/p>\n

Microsoft leaves the work to others<\/h2>\n

Three years later, Spencer is again answering the website and commenting on VR policy regarding the next Xbox console Project Scarlett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Virtual reality is not a focus of the new console, says Spencer opposite Stevivor<\/a>, Xbox would not be associated with Virtual Reality and customers would do not expect VR glasses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

"I have my problems with Virtual Reality: it's isolating and I think of gaming as a social experience. We respond to what our customers want and ... nobody wants VR, "says Spencer.<\/p>\n

"Most of our clients know where to get a VR experience when they are looking for one. We see the sales potential on the PC and with other devices. " No one sell millions of VR glasses<\/strong>Spencer says. That's not quite true: Sony is expected by the end of the year almost five million<\/a> sold\u00a0Playstation VR<\/a> come. This is not a commercial breakthrough, but not a full flop.<\/p>\n

Sony wished for more VR competition in the past<\/a> for an overall faster market growth, but obviously will not get from Microsoft. The VR breakthrough can still come, says Spencer, but bring this is not a focus at Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Microsoft's next console will appear in the fourth quarter of 2020. For Playstation 5 is not yet PSVR 2 (all information)<\/a> announced, however, the new console supports the old VR glasses.<\/p>\n

Why I consider Microsoft's VR retreat to be a mistake, I have written down in this comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
