Microsoft is making significant changes to the design team working on the next Xbox console, creating excitement in the gaming community. Instead of the team behind the Xbox Series X, Microsoft's Surface division is expected to take charge.
Due to lower-than-expected sales, Microsoft foresees further declines in 2024. Recent disclosures reveal that combined sales of Xbox Series X and Series S total 21 million units, half of what the PS5 achieved.
Industry insider Nick Baker suggests a potential transition in the design team, possibly leading to a delay in the next Xbox console. The reason for involving the Surface team is unclear, but there's speculation about a new handheld Xbox device. Given the Surface team's expertise in premium portable devices, it makes sense for them to lead such a project.
There are conflicting details about the speculated handheld Xbox. Some sources say it will be more affordable and less powerful than the next-gen Xbox, while others claim it will match console power but at a higher price. Despite uncertainty, Microsoft is committed to developing new Xbox hardware.
This significant shift hints at exciting possibilities for Xbox fans, especially if it means innovative devices like a handheld version. The details will unfold in time, revealing Microsoft's plans.
