The next Xbox could arrive in 2028 for $1,200 to $1,800, Xbox handheld may launch in 2027

Microsoft has a real shot here. Keep discs, and allow Windows PC games.
1 2 3 bell Sony is done and dusted.
If they do those things, especially allowing PC games, I agree it would be a much more interesting proposition. Less of a console and more of a streamlined gaming PC. It would also make the price much more palatable assuming it really is roughly on a performance tier parity with a 5080. I just fear this is MS and they will do something dumb and murder the thing like they have done repeatedly with Xbox over the last couple of years.
