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.

Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

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

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.

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?

Why is there even a console war in the first place? Who really cares these days? Just get what you want.

Me? I’m lazy and don’t want to put the effort into building a PC or worrying about optimization, viruses, etc. So I just get a gaming box to plug in and play.
