Yup..... six years ago today, in fact! |
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the WiiU was probably announced before it released in 2012 as that was the first 8th Gen console.
Also regarding the next Microsoft Machine, what's the point? They already have the most powerful toy, it's just sitting on the shelf currently with absolutely no reason to exist, software is their issue right now and has been for the last 5 years, that isn't going to be fixed with a new piece of hardware, if anything they would just upset the loyal Xbox fans who had invested in "the most powerful games console" if they figure the issue is hardware and ya know... go for more power without ever fixing that base issue of no games to play on it which can't be experienced elsewhere.
They are between a rock and a hard place, the last company to find themselves in it was Nintendo with the Wii-U an unpopular system with some nice software but lacking power and a reason to exist, Nintendo did a fantastic miracle save with the turn around they've achieved by pulling off the bandaid and releasing the Switch alongside a first year of groundbreaking titles, if MS was to do that same thing they're going to need more than things like Sea of Thieves and Terry Crews: Development Hell simulator.
