After the PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2, will the PS6 arrive? Will we see the new Microsoft console? Will be released Switch 3? He CEO of Take Two He says yes, although he qualifies a little.
Strauss Zelnick sees consoles in its market, but also the PC-focused games. Curious, since GTA 6 arrives in November 2026 with no scheduled release for computers.
Thanks to an interview with CNBC, the manager made his position clear and anticipated that it is exactly in this direction that the entire industry as a whole is moving.
Microsoft Xbox Series S
The Xbox Series S is Microsoft’s digital console, an Xbox that shares the catalog and many features of the Xbox Series X, but is less powerful and focused on services like Game Pass.
“I think they are moving to PC and businesses are moving to open rather than closed“Zelnick started by telling the show ‘Squawk Box.’
“But if you define console as property, not as system, then the idea of a very rich game that you immerse yourself in for many hours and that is played on a big screen will never disappear.“.
It is also clear that the the current division between consoles and cell phones is practically the same in the marketbut that smartphones are growing faster.
Although giants like Sony with PlayStation or Nintendo with Switch continued to focus on the traditional console market, rivals such as Microsoft with Series X|S They are betting on another model.
“It’s funny that people believe that consoles and PC are two different things“He then said Microsoft CEO for TBPN. “We created the console because we wanted a better PC that could be used for gaming.
I would like to rethink some of these preconceived ideas.“, all of this was amplified when Valve announced the Steam Machine along with new products from its brand.
Do you think PC Gaming will overshadow consoles?
Given Zelnick’s comments, we must remember that they own Zynga: “The cell phone, of course, goes with you, it’s repeatable and fun.
And I think that because it attracts the widest possible audience, it’s likely to continue to grow faster“In passing, he took the opportunity to say that the company expects growth of around 10% in the next quarter.
Do you also think that Consoles will continue to be relevant despite the growth of PC gaming?
