Microsoft's foray into lower-priced gaming hardware with consoles like the Xbox Series S is far from over, according to Xbox head Phil Spencer.
In an interview with Stratechery (https://stratechery.com/2020/an-interview-microsoft-executive-vice-president-of-gaming-phil-spencer/) (via The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/23/21529925/xbox-tv-streaming-stick-xcloud-cloud-gaming-phil-spencer-interview)), Spencer indicated that even cheaper hardware -- such as TV streaming sticks like a Roku device -- might one day be in the cards to facilitate gaming services like xCloud.
"I think you're going to see lower-priced hardware as part of our ecosystem when you think about streaming sticks and other things that somebody might want to just go plug into their TV and go play via xCloud," Spencer said.
