Microsoft’s next Xbox consoles have been revealed courtesy of what a U.S. District Court has suggested was a major screw-up by one of its employees, resulting in the accidental publishing of a series of highly confidential, yet unredacted, documents earlier today to a public-facing website. According to the documents that have been archived by ResetEra, The Verge, and other sites before they were removed, Microsoft is planning to release at least three more Xbox consoles, including a Xbox Series X “Brooklin” Refresh that features a cylindrical design but lacks a disc drive (2024, $499), an Xbox Series S “Ellewood” Refresh (2024, $299) with more storage and faster Wi-Fi, and, biggest of all, a next-generation hybrid Xbox console that may feature ARM64, Zen 6, and/or Navi 5 technologies from AMD (2028). Microsoft is also planning a new Xbox Controller, “Sebile,” which features a dual-tone design, modular thumbsticks, an accelerometer, and more.

Join Discussion →Forecasting that far out is nothing but hopes and dreams. Negotiations have barely started on what the console will be. (Talking the hybrid model.) And the cylindrical Xbox series X should be a no go or come specifically side mountable because not everyone has space for that sort of device.
If you side mount a cylinder then can you call it the Series O ??
no optical drive, no sale, not going to rebuy all my games.
Actually no... don't do that... someone's going to put some masturbatory device in it and name it the Xbox Oface experience.
