If they release a new console 2 years before PS6 it will need to be a completely different value proposition compared to current XBOX Series S/X
Simply not enough time has passed for them to have a generations leap that is affordable enough to justify a purchase. With a small user base and lack of exclusives that take advantage from the extra power I doubt a new console will sell a thing when their last generation purchase was so recent
It will be a Dreamcast scenario for Xbox
The idea of having a compact console to run windows is a good one, although I guess as anything new it can be a hard sell initially and take some years to have more significative adoption
