It is rumored that Microsoft hopes to launch the next generation Xbox first and start a price war with PS6

According to the latest video from YouTuber RedGamingTech, sources revealed that Microsoft hopes to release the next generation Xbox console in 2026 to seize the opportunity of PS6. Previously, leaked documents from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission showed that Microsoft's new Xbox console would not be released before 2028, but now it seems that the situation has changed.

Sources also revealed that the next-generation Xbox console will use the Zen5 CPU instead of the previously rumored Zen6 CPU, because the Zen6 CPU will not be ready by then. This decision will cause the performance of the next-generation Xbox console to lag behind the PS6, but Microsoft plans to release an enhanced model in the future to deal with it.

In addition, the use of Zen5 CPU can also lower the price of Xbox. Microsoft hopes that the price of the next generation Xbox console will be lower than PS6.
