@ 2022/10/31Microsoft's Xbox boss dismisses the hype
Microsoft exec Phil Spencer (pictured) has said that Facebook's Metaverse was just a poorly constructed video game and too dull for him to be bothered with.
"Building a metaverse that looks like a meeting room, I just find it’s not where I want to spend most of my time."
He said that while it was still in the "early early stages" he cannot see it ever taking off while the first thing he needs to do is "put a helmet on my head."
Although Microsoft are notoriously sceptical about VR in general (unlike Sony they have no plans for a headset for Xbox consoles) Meta themselves seem to be coming round to this idea, with plans to make sure Metaverse can be used on ordinary computers and smartphones.
