Xbox CEO Calls Gaming Industry a 'Rampocalypse', Vows Efficiency and Affordability

Asha Sharma, CEO of Xbox, discussed the future of gaming in an interview with BBC News. When asked about the next-generation console, she emphasized the need for innovation in affordability and efficiency alongside performance.

This 'Rampocalypse' refers to the current crisis in hardware and components, which has led to a shortage of consoles and games. Sharma acknowledged that Microsoft's industry is part of the reason for this crisis, but stated that it's an opportunity for all companies to innovate and give players more choice.

The Xbox Disc-to-Digital feature was also mentioned, allowing players to digitize their physical game collection. However, the focus of the interview shifted towards the next-generation console, where efficiency and affordability will be key considerations.
