Xbox Two on its way... sometime
MICROSOFT has officially confirmed multiple new Xbox consoles are on the way. At the end of Microsoft’s E3 2018 conference, Xbox boss Phil Spencer officially confirmed his team is “deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles” and that they would “deliver the benchmark of console gaming”. There’s no definitive Xbox Two release date yet, because Microsoft hasn’t formally announced new consoles. But it’s almost certain that Microsoft is looking at a new model to take on Sony’s inevitable PlayStation 5. And the pace of games console launches is quickening. The original Xbox was first released in 2001, followed by the Xbox 360 in 2005. We then had to wait eight years for the Xbox One. But things have changed. The Xbox One S came in 2016, just three years after its predecessor. And the new Xbox One X launched in 2017, a mere year after the console it replaced. Based on previous PlayStation launches, the PS5 looks likely to arrive in 2019. If this happens, Microsoft will almost certainly debut a new console within a year of Sony’s reveal.
