The next gen Xbox will allegedly not be a single console but a Windows-based device that other manufacturers can make their own versions of.
Is Microsoft planning to sub-contract hardware manufacturer? Considering the Xbox Series X/S isn’t even four years old yet, you wouldn’t normally expect to start hearing about its replacement for at least a year or two – probably more given the pandemic meant the first two years of this generation started very slowly. And yet by Microsoft’s own admission they are working on a next gen format, one that will allegedly involve, ‘the biggest technological leap ever in a generation.
The concept could work for Xbox though, especially if Microsoft were building the hybrid portable device themselves and leaving a more traditional under-the-TV console to other companies, or vice versa. With sales of the Xbox Series X/S underperforming the already disappointing Xbox One, it could also help to limit the company’s potential losses if the new console doesn’t sell any better but multiformat software sales prove to be strong.
