Now that its life cycle is ending, it’s difficult to look at the trajectory of the Xbox One and not draw parallels between it and the Wii U. Both were the subject of controversy long before they even launched, both lacked consistent first-party releases, and both forced their respective companies to rethink their strategies moving forward. Microsoft is certainly hoping the Xbox Series X will be as big of a success as the Switch, but avoiding pointless controversies is key, and that’s why Xbox boss Phil Spencer is walking back some of his comments about VR last year.
When Spencer was asked by Stevivor in an interview last fall about the potential for VR on Project Scarlett (this was before the Xbox Series X name was announced), he said that “nobody’s asking for VR,” and that while virtual reality may eventually come to Xbox in some form, it isn’t the team’s focus right now.
