Speaking during an interview with GameSpot, Randy Pitchford, president and CEO of Gearbox, has claimed that the generational leap afforded by the PS5 and Xbox Series X is the ‘biggest I have ever seen’ — including the jump from 2D to 3D back in the mid-90
Pitchford On PS5 And Xbox Series X Generational Leap
The Gearbox boss said that he feels consumers will realise just how significant the leap with new consoles is, although conceded that it will be difficult to perceive it during the initial launch lineup for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
I think customers will realize how profound of a difference it is to have the throughput capability that these new platforms bring. It’s just absolutely unreal. The leap there with PS5 and Xbox Series X is the biggest leap I have ever seen in the history of console generations. I’m saying, including the leap from 2D to 3D.
It’s going to change the way we think about every bit of our experiences. However, it’s going to be hard to see that in the initial launch titles because a lot of the launch titles are games that were endeavored upon before. Frankly, there are a lot of ports, and games that have already [available] on existing platforms that are being reimagined with these new platforms.
The PS5 is due out on November 12 in the US and Japan and November 19 in the UK and Europe. Meanwhile, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will arrive in all major markets on November 10.
