Spencer offered these comments in the wake of the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, which unveiled a new Xbox Series S with more storage. At that event, Xbox representatives also confirmed that the company has increased supply of the more powerful Xbox Series X in the face of previous shortages.

Now Playing: Starfield Direct – 45 Minute Gameplay Deep Dive
Though the Xbox Series X is only about two and a half years old, hardware upgrades were established as a part of a traditional console cycle last decade. The PS4 Pro released three years into the PS4's lifespan, and the Xbox One X followed just a year later in 2017. However, it seems that Xbox will forgo such an upgrade, at least in the short term.
The Xbox Games Showcase featured a number of huge announcements, including an in-depth look at the upcoming Starfield, a teaser for the new Fable, and the reveal of Persona 3 Reload.
