Xbox Lottery.
Unreal Engine 5.4 is what PS6 will be capable of if the console comes in a two years frame. If PS6 is really a 2027, we are in unknown territory, as 2026 will show the 4th generation+ of local AMD PC AI (it means, something useful in games and every other computing field).
Well... for a 2025 launch, two years before PS6... for a 399$/499$ launch selling price (without loss for unit sold), Sony could get:
CPU/GPU: AMD Z1 Extreme based RDNA3+ downclocked 2,13/2,23/3,5/4,26 GHz
RAM: 16 GB LPDDR5X/LPCAMM2 7500MT/s
Battery: 4370 mAh (<4h in turbo mode/<8h normal/emu mode, Fast bidirectional charge)
Screen: FullHD 120Hz FSR
Storage: 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVME (Final Fantasy Edition 1TB)/Up to 8TB
USB4 Ver...
Do you remember when SEGA of America and SEGA Japan "created" Dreamcast?
Epic did not pay enough for exclusivity? And Xbox mkt funding? Maybe... it was mismanagement?
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
You want a PC.
No Tameem, no fun.

Well... this is like Xbox One again, but without an impressive Xbox One X to show visits for a couple of years.

BTW, many first gen Xbox games and great sagas like Project Gotham Racing were born in Dreamcast. Xbox was born thanks to Dreamcast.
"It is you, not me".
Two consoles... two Xbox Series... One of them, inferior to latest generation Xbox One X in too many aspects... Who in his mind though this was a good idea?
The money, the team effort and everything invested on Xbox Series S marketing, logistics, assistance, etc. could have made a greater Xbox Series X and more/better games. The responsible for selling Xbox Series S with inferior specs to Xbox Series X should be exposed, so we have a face to blame of Xbox dead.
That's why Phil included Bonnie Ross for that mission...
Spencer WAS part of Don Matrick team on Xbox.
Add the "Baldur's Gate 3" has not enough quality for Xbox under Bonnie Ross opinion... as well as others that included hundreds of millions in promotion of games that really suck.
Microsoft people did not learn a shit of 360 early days... well... wait... early Xbox 360 and later firs gen Xbox people are not in Microsoft since mid 360 days...
(Phil 'wait for next year' Spencer)
Microsoft made the 71,933 millions deal because it was already started and, with Microsoft, it is not possible to go back and stop it. Does anybody think that deal would be an option in 2023 or 2024, with the nowadays sitiation of the industry? And in 2022? No, nobody would pay that money for Activision-blizzard-king... because it would not be recovered in more than 20 years of really hard and good work. Everybody are selling for less, not...
But... Phil Spencer was the "second" aboard for Xbox One launch and before. He was only the face that come after Don Mattrick. Phil was in one charge of Xbox before 2014, responsable for meany Xbox One launch and before "things" many did not like.
It is still 81 on Metacritic. It is a good game by the early reviews... well... as people finish the game and publish opinions, it is not 100/100 anymore. But many players seem to like it.
