Phil Spencer, Microsoft's Head of Xbox, was interviewed by Edge in the latest edition of its magazine. The interview was covered by GamesRadar, and Spencer is quoted saying that he doesn't think VR is a "now thing":
“As you say, there are partners out there, and while these guys are PC-based today, if we want to do something with Xbox... Right now, it’s just been about technologies and things that I think we need to do on Xbox One to make the experience better, and that’s where our focus has been. And I don’t think VR is a now thing.
I’m not saying it’s five years from now, but it’s not really a now now thing. Valve’s got their VR thing, which I think is great; Samsung has GearVR, too. Funnily enough, they are very interested in Minecraft and how it could work in those VR spaces. So even from a content perspective there are a lot of conversations about VR, and I think it’s a very interesting tech for us to watch on the console side as well as the PC side.”
The full interview will be published in Edge's latest issue, which is due out today.
