You say that as if the console market as a whole would still care about the Xbox brand. 2023 has been more or less the peak sales performance for the Xbox Series and yet it was still outsold roughly 2:1 by an aging Switch.

If Xbox S2 launches in 2026, then it is highly likely PS6 will also launch that year. Either way, NS2 won't feel as exciting for the casuals when those two launch. NS1 had 2.5-3 years of being the newest major console on the market before competition released XS and PS5.

I just think Nintendo is crippling their long term sales potential of NS2 hardware by not releasing it this year. I'd be happy to eat my words by 2031 if it happens. 

Is there anything behind these Xbox 2026 rumors or is it just baseless, “Xbox isn’t doing good so they should get a head start next time” speculation?
