I saw some (multiple) sources saying that Microsoft wants to start the next generation ahead of Sony.

That's one of the reasons I think Helix will launch late next year or early 2028. Specially if Sony wants to release the PS6 before 2029.

It worked for them with the 360 when they leapfrogged Sony into the next gen, maybe they're trying to recapture that moment and get some breathing room on the market before PS6 arrives, a year or two in which they can sell themselves as being a gen ahead of the competition.
