Nintendo running on Nvidia, PlayStation running on AMD, and Xbox running on ARM. Good to see each platform holder utilizing different types of technologies

I just hope b/c continues with ARM.

They renewed the bc team like last year I think? They would most likely emulate everything if they made the transition to ARM. I know quite a few that would be ecstatic at the prospect of an ARM based Xbox!

I'm fine with that, especially if it opens up to more games.

Could the next Xbox be based on Arm?

Nah.

From my previous reporting, Xbox next gen hardware is targeting around 2027 (it's unclear if that's for the full launch or simply reveal at this time, but I expect it to be the launch window). From what I understand, there will be a true Xbox handheld made by Microsoft, complete with a docking station emulating the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, I'm expecting an Xbox Series X successor for those who want a more traditional console experience, potentially complete with the ability to side-load PC storefronts like Steam and Epic Games.

Our sources confirmed to me this morning that the next Xbox systems, however, are not based on Qualcomm chips. The plan, at least for now, is for the next-gen Xbox systems to have as much compatibility with your current library as possible. The overheads required to emulate games built for Microsoft's AMD-based systems are beyond what the Snapdragon line up is currently capable of.

MS Flight Simulator 2024 | Sim Update 2 is now rolling out on all platforms.

It's a a major update with hundreds of fixes, improvements, and more.

We're counting Ninja Gaiden 4 as first party now?

Xbox is publishing the game. So it counts as an Xbox Studios release. But not first-party. This I would consider second-party since Xbox does not own the developer or the IP. Kinda like the deal with Sony and Death Stranding. But, that's a grey area for many lol.
