I guess now we know that their ‘letters of intent’ mean absolutely nothing. I have no idea if AMD got the contract back, but this left a bad taste in my mouth… and from what I hear we aren’t the only company annoyed by the games they’re playing lately.”In reply, a source at Microsoft reportedly reached out to Moore’s Law with the following statement: “I honestly have no idea what’s going on with management here anymore. We are at least a year behind Sony in SoC development by now, and it almost seems like upper management’s seen some metric that’s making them doubt our ability to compete with another generation.”AdvertLast but not least, yet another source at Microsoft also came forward.”I do by now believe we are going to launch another generation of Xbox, but the fact that there was this level of uncertainty is very telling… Oh and BTW -the earliest we can do a proper next-gen would be 2027, and anything before that would either be a ‘new kind of Xbox’ or absurdly rushed.”Of course, this information has not been officially confirmed so it is worth taking with a pinch of salt but if true, it would seem as though these issues will cause a delay for the next Xbox console.Not only that but being behind Sony would be a massive blow for Microsoft when the former releases the PlayStation 6 (as it is currently known).Topics: Xbox, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, MicrosoftAdvertAdvertAdvertbreaking news
