Phil Spencer points to Amazon and Google as the main competitors of the future

Today, competition is what drives different platforms to strive to convince users to offer the best alternative. Looking ahead, we see how Sony and Microsoft are fighting to see "who is great" for the next generation of consoles. And that's the race you want to see, leaving aside PC or Nintendo. But the future speaks in other languages, too, Phil Spencer points to Amazon and Google as the main competitors of the future.

By the way, it makes more sense to think of these companies, because they are the ones that own them great infrastructure dedicated to computers in the cloud today. In fact, in the business sector, the three companies are struggling to offer very similar services. Looking ahead, all three will experience new gaming technology. And that's the way, a interview provided by The VergePhil Spencer points to Amazon and Google As a great future competitor. By looking at the ups and downs of what is now called Gaming Gaming, Phil Spencer is not putting other powerful companies, such as Sony and Nintendo, into the formula for real-time competition.

All right now "When we talk about Nintendo and Sony, we respect them very much, but we see Amazon and Google as the most competitive of the future", Spencer said. Now, as other clubs are not promoted in this area, Phil Spencer remains polite and affirming "This is not an insult to Nintendo and Tony, but traditional video game companies may seem, in some way, inactive.". And there it is, the lack of predictability of these traditional companies suggests that future demand involves a lot of work. Spencer says they have spent millions of years investing in Azure infrastructure. That is, it is not sewing and singing, or that it is not something to be found overnight.

Now, if you look at the companies that were used before, it also warns that they look like the main competitors, but, as of now, it's impossible to know how long. In fact, he warns that success in the video game industry does not translate to the number of consoles you sell, referring to too many references these days for the sale of other hardwares. It's a matter of profit, and that's where Microsoft still has a key voice. Similarly, Microsoft, Amazon and Google They look at the business model when estimated, there are up to 7,000 million users. It is something that, with the sale of hardware, cannot be easily achieved.

It is clear that the traditional market of comforters and generations will be taken care of, at least for a few years. Some also emphasize that the next generation will be the last generation of consoles, as we know them. But it is a warning that has been ignored for some time too the arrival of the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5, is one of the most relevant issues of 2020, beyond Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now or xCloud. These can be models for the future, a future that does not have to be immediate.
