Next generation of consoles will be out during this year, around Holiday season. Microsoft seems to be ahead of Sony this moment, revealing the Xbox Series X. There seems to be varied speculation about current released material with both consoles.
Xbox Head Phil Spencer recently showed on his Twitter profile picture, giving us what we can only assume is the next gen console’s main processor chip. It reads Project Scarlett on the chip as well as “8K”.
