According to Microsoft, the Xbox Series X is just a next-gen console from Microsoft. While we were all pretty excited when Microsoft unveiled the next Xbox (formerly known as Xbox Project Scarlett) at the 2019 Game Awards, it seems the name of the next console isn't exactly what we were hoping for. While we assume the next-gen console is called
Xbox Series X '', Microsoft ha aclarado que, de hecho, la familia de consolas se llamaría ` `Xbox & # 39; & # 39; y que la Series X '' is just one of the family consoles. We know, it's a bit confusing. Speaking to Business Insider after the reveal, a Microsoft representative tried to clear up any potential confusion. "The name we pass on to the next generation is simply Xbox," the Business Insider representative said. "And at the Game Awards, you saw that name come to life with Xbox Series X." "Similar to what fans have seen with previous generations, the name "Xbox Series X" leaves room for additional consoles in the future," the representative said.

The report adds that Microsoft told developers to aim for 1440p resolution and a 60fps frame rate with Project Lockhart and 4K/60 with Xbox Series X, and those same developers compared performance from a lower-end console. to PS4 Pro. Microsoft confirms that it's making room for other consoles under the new Xbox family, strongly suggests that the Lockhart project is well and truly in the works, though we don't really know when we'll hear more about it. subjects.
