Is this the "we don't need a Pro" Pro edition? Now we are just gonna call it the next generation and try to one-up Sony?

I can't say I use my Series X much anymore (gifted it to my youngest and he enjoys a few games on it), but if the next Xbox is basically a Windows PC with a 'game mode' (ala SteamOS), I'd be on board.

I already have MS new console name picked out: Xbox PC. It can act as a 'recommended spec' system for developers to aim for.

It would be similar to the mac mini in essence. A full soc non upgradeable ultimately disposable compute appliance. Probably with an add in card for AI upcharge.
