So, Microsoft has sold less consoles than the previous gen the past two generations with this most recent generation falling off the most. And in this current generation the most popular console by far is the least expensive one. But they are going to try to push out another console that is supposedly powerful not the thing that actually worked for them a cheap game pass console…
And they are going to come out with this thing when the PS5 Pro will be on the market so it’s unlikely that they will be able to make any significant power gains. Certainly not to the point that PlayStation 5 won’t be able to play the games. Heck we see how long the PS4 has stayed relevant, PS4 games will still be getting released in 2026. And given their console sales track record no publisher under the sun is going to skip PlayStation to make games for xbox. And with the way Microsoft is positioning themselves as such a rival publisher I can’t imagine many publishers really looking to prop xbox up. Heck we hear rumors of publishers skipping xbox for releases.
If this is actually true, this thing is DOA.
