- ๐ก AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su revealed in an earnings call that the development of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox, featuring an AMD semi-custom system on a chip (SoC), is progressing well for a 2027 launch.
- ๐ฏ This announcement suggests the next-gen Xbox has not been cancelled and is actively in development.
Historical Console Release Patterns
- ๐๏ธ A 2027 launch would mean a seven-year gap since the release of the Xbox Series X|S in November 2020.
- ๐ Previous Xbox generations have seen varied gaps: four years between the original Xbox and Xbox 360, eight years between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and seven years between the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Potential Delays and Economic Factors
- โ ๏ธ Despite development progressing, there are concerns about potential delays for both the next-gen Xbox and PlayStation 6.
- ๐ฐ Factors like the huge increase in RAM prices and uncertainty with tariffs and the economy could push launches to 2028 or 2029.
Power, Pricing, and Console Concepts
- ๐ช Rumors suggest the next-gen Xbox could be more powerful than the PlayStation 6 but also more expensive.
- ๐ฎ There are speculations about a more niche console, possibly a hybrid between a PC and a traditional console, or even a handheld Xbox similar to devices like the ROG Ally.
- ๐ Leaks from Moore's Law is Dead indicate the next-gen Xbox might feature Zen 6 and Zen 6c CPU cores and an RDNA 5-powered GPU.
Announcement Timing Speculation
- ๐ฃ If the console launches in 2027, an announcement could potentially occur at the Game Awards in December of the preceding year.
- โณ However, the speaker notes that announcing too early, as with the Xbox Series X, can lead to a loss of momentum if the release is much later.
