Xbox NeXt Shows Up On Microsoft’s Visual Designer’s CV

4.5
Nintendo and Sony are due to launch new hardware this year, but Microsoft appear to be largely sitting out on this party. Even though Phil Spencer floated the idea of iterative Xbox hardware in the future, he did speak out against minor upgrades like an ‘Xbox 1.5’ just a little while later.

So what exactly is Microsoft’s plan here? Do they really intend to introduce substantially upgraded Xbox hardware already, just three years into the Xbox One’s life cycle? Would they risk mass consumer alienation by doing something like that?

We don’t know what or when Microsoft plans to do, but what we do know is that more indications of new Xbox hardware are emerging. Just today, ‘Xbox NeXT’ has shown up on the CV of a Microsoft Visual Designer– what could this mean? Is this referring to a mid cycle refresh? The term ‘Xbox NeXT’ or ‘NextBox’ has traditionally been used to refer to a new generation Xbox console- so is it possible that Microsoft has already started work on an Xbox One successor?

I highly doubt this is even close to true.

This is most likely just rumours that someone put it on their CV, I doubt Microsoft will release another console unless it relates to Windows 10.

There won't be a new console anytime soon...

Doubt they'll release a new console this year. Maybe 2018 or 2019 we'll see the next gen of consoles.

Probably means nothing. Unfortunately.

I feel like this article might be adding hype to nothing. The article points out that this is a common name used for NEW xbox related projects, so this could just be a guy updating his CV with xbox one related information.

Musket That's why its always good to wait off on buying a new console.

I dont really know what they could add without making some conflict with the current one. Adding more ram would really just be for the new games which couldnt be used on the original One.

It would be about bloody time. Been waiting too long since they announced it.
