Predict: Next gen console tech (10th generation edition) [2028+]

[Johnny Awesome]

Those social media contributors are a tiny minority of people who buy consoles. History has shown time and again a console doesn't have to be the most powerful to sell best, and chasing the power crown doesn't lead inevitably to a significant sales gain. Even this gen, PS5 is notably underpowered, but the market doesn't seem to care much! To get a significant power advantage now costs a fortune in more hardware. I think any and every console company should pursue the most efficient hardware design, a perfect balancing act to land right on the optimal cost/benefit sweet-spot.

It all matters. It's PR. I think just because Sony and Nintendo get by with less power doesn't mean Xbox has to follow suit. Power is part of the Xbox brand. Own it MS! $100 per unit more on the APU could do wonders.
