Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027); EDIT: And new handheld later this year

Gyro support wouldn't hurt.
IKR????
Xbox execs run from Gyro like it personally killed their mother -
Why do they want Microsoft to overhaul the controller? There’s literally no reason to, and the way they’re writing it really does just read as “because I want something different.“They’ve stuck with the same design since 360 more or less with small changes for a reason. It’s a fantastically designed controller
I just fucking want HE joysticks.

Well I've had three of thier controllers die due to stick shift so there seems to be a fucking reason to me.

Well that’s bizarre. Frankly you’re the only person I’ve heard ever complain about this with the stock controllers (which I assume you’re talking about). Unfortunately I’ve had a few friends who had trouble with the “elite” controllers

That's an impressive ability to ignore an extremely widely known issue. Hey by the way just as a heads up there's also this thing going on called climate change.

I’m not sure what the hostility is about. I’ve never heard it. I didn’t say you were lying or something.

From Jez Corden. Further supporting the idea that the next Xbox is just a PC with a custom shell, which is about the only way a new Xbox makes sense anyway.
EDIT: Also from Jez Corden, Xbox handheld coming later this year.
What the fuck we're 5 years into this console gen? They didn't even start releasing the real games yet. I can't think of a single Xbox exclusive titles and ps5 has what, astro bot and the friggin 17th FF7 remake?

I just don’t miss those features I guess!
And that's perfectly fine

I've had this too.

Xbox lost the console wars and is retreating to PC. This makes sense
Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

I’m sure plenty of people have experienced stick drift. It happens to every controller eventually. What I am saying is it’s hardly a hallmark problem for them in the way it was for Nintendo for instance.

Gyroscope and back buttons would be nice. Maybe even a touch sensitive stick like the steam deck has. I like the shape and layout of the Xbox controllers, but they really lag behind feature wise.
If we got a Gyroscope on Xbox, then all major controllers would have it - allowing for the possibility of cross platform games where people can use gyro ironsights to aim. That would be awesome.

PC will never “win” a console war because it lacks the plug and play convenience of consoles.

Not sure why people are acting surprised about this. The generations usually have been between 5-7 years. It will already have been five years this upcoming November. So 2027 sounds about right.

Tell that to PC's growth and consoles' decline. Plus the new Xboxes mentioned in this very article are seeking to be exactly that, much like what the Steam Deck does today. It will play PC games but will be called an Xbox.

PS5 had Spider-Man 2.
For Xbox Series X there's Starfield.
For the generation as a whole, it was worth upgrading for Baldur's Gate 3.

The elite controller has customizable back buttons, which are awesome.

Okay I will.
PC isn’t a part of the console war and therefore can’t “win.”
Happy? I told it.

If consoles cease to exist as we know them because they just became PCs, then what does that mean for a console war?
