Discussion Xbox next speculation

[Mopetar]

that's not going anyway, new consoles will be crossgen cities forevermore.

I'd scrap a low-tier console or turn it into the mobile version. The strength of consoles has always been having a single platform that developers could tune their games for to eke out every last drop of performance.

Microsoft seems like they're going to try to own that platform but let anyone make hardware that supports it. This might be initially successful in that they pass costs on to third parties, but eventually it turns out like it did for Apple with the Mac clones.

This hasn't been true ever since PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
Two-three targets per gen are the new norm.

I will likely be picking this up. All depends on final specs and price but looking good so far.

Node for potential xbox to be revealed next year

Possibly zen 5(c?) + RDNA 5 on N3P tailored for AMD

AFAIK in documents they say it's N2P, however it's almost certainly a custom node that doesn't fit exactly in what TSMC describes as N2/N2P/N2X. In some gfx13/RDNA5 stuff I have seen terms like "AMD3NP" for example.

Xbox Next could be $1000 — MLID speculation (this makes sense to me)

Welp! It looks like this will cost more than $1000
