Insiders Reveal: Next-Gen Xbox Set to Outperform and Outprice PS6 by 2027

The next generation of consoles from **Sony** and **Microsoft** may be launched within the next two years. Two independent sources have reported that the PlayStation 6 and the new Xbox are scheduled for release in 2027.

Well-known insider KeplerL2, who has reliably predicted the specifications of **AMD** chips in the past, stated on the NeoGAF forum that the PlayStation 6 is set to launch in 2027, barring any unforeseen delays. This discussion was sparked by a recent video from **Sony** and **AMD** regarding future technologies, in which **Mark Cerny** mentioned the arrival of “a new console in a few years.”

On the same day, YouTuber **Moore’s Law is Dead** released a video discussing the **AMD** Magnus APU, the largest chip ever used in gaming devices. It integrates CPU and GPU on a single die and, according to the insider, is about 46% larger than the chip being prepared for PlayStation 6. While this will result in a significant boost in power, it will also increase production costs and the final retail price of the console.

**Moore’s Law is Dead** believes that **Microsoft** is developing a hybrid of a console and a PC that will not only be capable of running games from the Xbox store but also titles from other platforms like Steam. In this format, the Xbox could resemble a gaming desktop computer while maintaining the convenience of a console interface.

According to the blogger, the performance difference will not be drastic:

**Moore’s Law is Dead** also speculated that the new Xbox might be priced between $800 and $1,200 depending on its configuration. He noted that this device could impact the PC market, compelling manufacturers of pre-built systems to lower their prices.

As the blogger indicated, **Microsoft** aims to create not just a gaming console but a versatile system that merges the functions of a console and a PC—simultaneously challenging both platforms.

Moreover, **Moore’s Law is Dead** reiterated several times that the new console from the “greens” is planned for release in 2027, likely around the same time as its competitor from the “blues.”
