I'm good on Next gen

Besides Switch...my consoles run the games perfect

Switch is a handheld so duh its weaker but just saying. I don't need a PS6 or Xbox the games they make run fine now and we aren't near pushing these things in anyway that needs this....Xbox your literally remaking Halo 1...lol. I don't think I'll need too much power for that

Sony would be wise to hold off on the PS6 and you’re also correct that the Switch is really the only console that felt like it NEEDED to be replaced. Also, let’s not kid ourselves. Even if the PS6 & Helix came out this holiday it’s not like we wouldn’t still have years of games still coming to the current gen PS5 & Series consoles which also means games still being scalable to the Switch 2.

These new consoles shouldn't arrive until 2028 at the earliest. The next Xbox will basically just be a PC with a console UI

Even then what are they going to do?

Games load up in like 10 seconds and as far as I know, NO game is even pushing the base consoles let alone Pro to 100%

Like I guess 4K 6FPS....but for 800+ bucks? F that, like we don't need new systems for like 5+ years and even then maybe never really because its not like gaming companies are doing anything interesting with the tech we already have

Some companies likely want the new gen just so the extra power can brute force their unoptimized crap to work somewhat properly.

Why do I feel like I hear almost nothing from Sony year over year yet every week I have to hear the next thing about Xbox.

There is this. A lot of people think this move is tied to the fact that the next Xbox can play PC games.

PS5 games aren't selling well on PC — so Sony is pulling the plug

Insiders suggest PlayStation may put fewer games on Steam

I guess I’m just more interested in sharing Xbox’s attempts to be the next Sega lol.
