All right, I tried going back a few days and that is several hundred posts. I didn't want to post this if someone already had posted this rumor:
Xbox's Next-Gen Consoles Reportedly Coming in 2026, Will Also Launch a Nintendo Switch-Like Dockable Handheld

I've no idea how reliable IGN India is ... Sorry never posted in Xbox threads sorry if rumors like this are unwelcome.

It matches with what other insiders have been saying. Back in September we had a reliable AMD hardware insider report that Xbox had cancelled plans for mid-gen refresh consoles this gen and was planning a launch 2 years earlier than they had originally planned, a release in 2026.Then in December both Jeff Grubb and semi-reliable hardware insider/youtuber RedGamingTech reported that Xbox was planning a next-gen launch in 2026 powered by Zen 5 CPU's and RDNA 5 GPU's. Then more recently I saw this same 2026, docking handheld + home console leak from a different source. And we have also heard about plans to let 3rd party partners make Xbox PC-based consoles from yet another source, the guy who recently leaked accurate Indiana Jones details ahead of it's gameplay reveal. So I'm guessing all of these Xbox systems will be PC-based personally, running a stripped down version of Windows built to maximize gaming performance by cutting down on background tasks that eat up CPU and Memory resources.
