The next Xbox from Microsoft will have similar specs to the PlayStation 4, according to reports.
Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat says that the new Xbox will be more aligned with what Sony will be announcing about the PS4 in the future, apart from the fact that the Xbox will always be “connected”.
The possibility of needing an internet connection to play games on Microsoft's console has drawn a lot of criticism and a massive backlash from fans and critics alike. Kotaku recently reported the Xbox 720 will always require the internet to be turned on for accessing or even starting games.
"It's well-known that their system used to be hard to tame," Mallat tells Eurogamer. "So we were very pleased, and doubly pleased because all the time and effort we already put on the high-end PC was really paying off. That's why we were able to showcase a good chunk of playable code of Watch Dogs at their media briefing in February. That speaks for itself in terms of how ready we are on the next-gen."
Predictably, Mallat wouldn't go into detail about what he expects from Microsoft's next-generation console, but did say he it will be ‘aligned with what Sony announced’.
