Microsofts head of Xbox and gaming, Phil Spencer, has confirmed the company is not working on a streaming-only console.

Previously some reports suggested that Microsoft's next-generation Project Scarlett console would ship with both a high-end version and a "cloud console" with limited amounts of local compute for things like controller input, image processing and collision detection, The Verge reported on Thursday.
