Been thinking about what Xbox might do with the Xbox design lab when it comes back next year, and I'm pretty sure we are going to see much higher customization for the consoles themselves. I think they will be using direct to product printing, where you print directly onto the console. Some companies can even print textures. below is a link to a video by canon demonstrating printing onto a laptop. The design of the consoles with large perfectly flat faces makes them absolutely perfect for this sort of thing.
Beyond fully custom, upload your own graphics customization, it would also make special edition consoles much cheaper to make, I could definitely see them making a Starfield edition series S when that comes out, include a month trial to game pass and they would sell like hot cakes. I doubt they would even have to raise the price of the console at all.

It is what it is, ive been teamxbox and all, but ye, things turned out like they are. Was always going PS5 for console and PC, anyway. Really like the PS5, it delivers. Dunno about others but i like the blue light it emits.
I agree with your analogy though. The "most powerful console" stuff, which in my experience was not that prominent, just the odd tweet and mentions on Microsoft's website, could bite them on the arse. Sony, ironically mostly poor comms all year, under-promised and over-delivered. This is generally the best approach.
