Was more talking about the Sarah Bond one, Lol.

I'm really curious what their hardware plans are for the future.

Those will determine if I switch to PC sooner than I had planned.

Well, the first leaker who talked about Xbox putting their games on other platform was the Indiana Jones leaker, and he also said they were going to start letting 3rd party manufacturers make Xbox consoles. So if he was indeed legit, it's safe to say we will be getting Steam Machine like PC based Xbox consoles from 3rd parties.

As for Xbox themselves, was recently reported that they have multiple hardware projects in development. Considering Phil liked Jez's Xbox handheld article tweet, I guess one will be a handheld device. Then we had the AMD leaker several months back saying that Xbox was planning to start next gen 2 years earlier, in 2026, with the console using a generation older CPU and GPU than originally planned.

So it is safe to say Xbox hardware isn't dead. But will it have enough exclusives to even justify it's existence, now that it is looking like Activision and Zenimax games won't be exclusive? Can XGS exclusives alone justify the purchase of $500+ hardware?

Personally, it's not enough for me, I'm looking at PC + Switch 2 next gen, I just don't have the budget to get a console I don't need to own, and that goes for both NextBox and PS6, since both release just about all of their games on PC.
