This will resolve as YES if either of the following two conditions is met:
A non-portable console widely considered to be a next-gen successor to the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S launches in 2027.
A non-portable PC or PC-console hybrid with Xbox in its name launches in 2027. It must have an SoC, CPU or GPU co-designed by Microsoft.
For either of the two conditions, the machine doesn't have to be manufactured by Microsoft, but its sale must be authorized by it.
I will not bet in this market.

Sony Group Corp. is now considering pushing back the debut of its next PlayStation console to 2028 or even 2029, according to people familiar with the company’s thinking. That would be a major upset to a carefully orchestrated strategy to sustain user engagement between hardware generations. Close rival Nintendo Co., which contributed to the surplus demand in 2025 after its new Switch 2 console drove storage card purchases, is also contemplating raising the price of that device in 2026, people familiar with its plans said. Sony and Nintendo representatives didn’t respond to requests for comment.
