Looking at what was announced, my thoughts:

  • Biggest hardware leap of any gaming generation ever is quite the tease. I'm skeptical that it will truly be the biggest leap in actual hardware though, if the leaks are right we are only looking at 6 years between Xbox Series X and next-gen Xbox, that is not enough time for a massive leap in actual hardware specs unless it is very expensive. I'd rather say that things like better dedicated raytracing cores that allow path tracing, and AI frame generation to nearly double framerates at the chosen graphics settings, will do the heavy lifting of making this next-gen Xbox seem like the biggest hardware leap yet.

Yeah, it would 100% be because of some ML nonsense that will make them sound like a crazy Twitter tech bro.

2026 will get you vanilla N2 if you're lucky, which should avail RX 7900 levels of performance at best within a reasonable console BoM. Hardly a generational leap when you look at it like this.
