In fact, Microsoft executive Phil Spencer even confirmed that despite the appeal of the VR tech, this type of technology remains in the early stages. Moreover, the device is expected to have 4K support and hardware to become more  powerful than the Sony console.

Meantime, previous reports indicate that Microsoft wanted to develop a single ecosystem that covers consoles, mobiles, Hololens and PCs.
