Why Microsoft’s Next Xbox Should Just Run Windows Already

Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed a strategic multi-year collaboration with AMD to jointly develop silicon for a range of upcoming devices, including the next wave of Xbox gaming systems for both home and portable use.
Microsoft's shift toward merging PC and console gaming stems from previous moves like the 2015 launch of Xbox on Windows 10 and evolving hardware strategies.
The collaboration with AMD aims to co-engineer custom silicon featuring next-generation graphics and AI enhancements, targeting living room consoles and handheld devices like Xbox Ally.
Bond mentioned that Xbox is collaborating extensively with the Windows division to make Windows the top platform for gaming, while also developing a gaming experience that is accessible across multiple devices and storefronts rather than being limited to just one.
This strategy suggests Microsoft intends to blend Xbox’s legacy with Windows gaming dominance, enabling broader device compatibility and backward support, while potentially redefining console boundaries.

PlayStation and Xbox are starting to tease their next-gen consoles

You've probably already heard that the Nintendo Switch 2 is the fastest-selling game console in history with over 3.5 million sold after four days on the market. I am going to make an educated guess that PlayStation and Xbox saw Nintendo's announcement, because both companies are suddenly rather chatty about their next consoles.
