It will be interesting if Xbox has a new console in 2027 and Sony doesn’t.
….sounds familiar
I can’t wait!!
I just hope it happens. 2027 is so close!
Because Xbox is a PC brand going forward, I imagine it will have more iterations akin to mid-to-high-end PC gaming of 2-5 years versus a normal console cycle of 6-7.
Leaning into PC gives them and OEMs so many options to deliver high and low end models, refreshing hardware with any major or minor inflection points.
I just want MS to release the CPU or whatever chip it is they made to let me make a custom PC that has full BC with Xbox. Like, why not just make a deal where all AMD chips now come with Xbox BC implemented? Would be a dream come true!
My brain is remembering a quote from Phil about wanting to get rid of the “next Gen” status and doing “major new hardware” Xbox every 5 to 6 years. I could imagine them doing that and then OEMs will just do what they do, which is release new gaming PCs on yearly iterations with just less expected sales and more controlled production. I imagine Microsoft will have their partners with the Xbox AMD chips, but I wonder if they’ll also just straight up force (or heavily suggest) all gaming PC OEMs to boot into FSE on startup or shove “Xbox” into their name like the ROG Asus Ally.
Was hoping for Fall 2026 but Fall 2027 is better than Fall 2028. I want my all in one console already damn it!!!
Now I wonder if AMD is going to do another PR video with Sony where they talk with Cerny and allude to a 2027 release? or even the 2030 release date that has been rumored.
I guess Reddit and Twitter will respond to this news without trolling and console-warring, right?
