Sony wins by default due to pricing, AMD way more affordable. Unless MS eats the cost to be with intel or make a weaker console to at least be in price parity with an AMD PS5

And thats why there's a rumoured streaming box.

Well if Xbox have there budgeted Streaming Box than there premium model can have whatever they want i guess. Its been rumoured that the disk console wont be cheap and with the power of the Cloud, then going big will only make it even better. I am down for an Nvidea driven console. They make the best GPUs. Why not.

Also considering PC gaming is huge with Nvidea, it makes more sense since Xbox seems to want to cater for that audience more meaning more support for PC ports etc. Not saying AMD isnt big on PC and that porting would be an issue either way they go.

You forget that streaming box won’t be the main SKU because it can’t be it due to internet connectivity. Betting on this as a main SKU will lead to losing a gen. So they can’t go hard with the specs of traditional console. It still has to be affordable and cost somewhere around 400-500$ to succeed.

Define losing?

Xbox has always been designed around North America. If they can make a Streaming box thats dirt cheap than it will take the NA market by storm, and thats the biggest gaming market in the world.

There will be a disc system however at a premium price it wont be the major focus point.
