On the topic itself, 2025 launch is still just a rumour. I don't know why everyone didn't believe and doubt the 2024 launch, but now when a rumour of 2025 launch get's out all of a sudden everyone pretends like it's a lock 100%. Everything can happen, and everything can change.

Well, it was reliable enough to have Nintendo's shares drop more than 4% this Monday (recovering from an initial 8% drop). So there was likely fire to this smoke.

There aren't. But assuming they are doing worse than even the XB1, they might try to repeat the 360 scenario with a year or even 2 years ahead of PS6 launch.

Wasn't that more about the PS3 being late rather than the X360 being early, though? Considering both were designed with similar-specced tech in mind except for the disc drive.

An early launch for the next Xbox would be more like the Mega Drive or the Dreamcast... neither of which really worked in the end.

The specs were similar in power but, unless I am mistaken, Microsoft did explicitly rush the 360 launch to beat the PS3 to the market.
