Xbox Series X Director Asks: Why Do You Want To Know Specs So Early?
Xbox hardware director David Prien has a question for his audience, and he got a lot of responses.
just hard sometimes when walking at CES and people get mad I won't tell them specs. Literally walk away calling me an Asshole.
Because people are hyped about the new gen and wants to know everything? It’s a simple answer and only normal mr director :/
That part was particularly stupid..."To me it's like movie spoilers I don't want to know until I buy my movie ticket."
Uh no. I'm buying a piece of hardware. I want to know specs before I buy.
This. Thirst, impatience, entitlement...take your pick.OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE' RE DAMN THIRSTY
"To me it's like movie spoilers I don't want to know until I buy my movie ticket."

Don't ask questions, just purchase, consumer! - Mr. "8K" (wHy yOu wAnNa kNoW tHe sPeCs tHo)
They have actually shown more 'software' for Series X then Sony has for PS5(Halo Infinite, MSFS 2020, Everwild and Hellblade II).You don’t have the software so people want to know if you have the hardware. How does this guy not recognize that lol.
I understand what he's saying, context is important, he's not saying you'll find out the spec's after buying, what he's saying is that it's too early in the production to give that away, because revealing your cards to your rival is not a good idea, but in terms of the movie analogy, it's like letting someone review the movie before the movie is done filming, or talking about a plot of a book before you're finished writing and publishing it.
I guarantee we'll get to know the spec's before we buy, it has been like this for every console release.
I am certain he is not ignorant...Conflating 2 distinct things in order to perform some virtual shrug takes either ignorance or dishonesty.
I don’t understand how it’s still, at this point,
too early in production, when other people on here tell me that these things are set in stone a least 2 years prior to release date.
It's quite obvious isn't it. Well stated. First post -Thread closed.Because people are hyped about the new gen and wants to know everything? It’s a simple answer and only normal mr director :/
