In court documents reviewed by IGN, Microsoft is expecting the next generation - meaning the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Series X|S successor - to begin in 2028. But the reality is that we're creeping up on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S' third birthday parties. Years of hardware shortages and a slew of cross-generation game releases can make it feel like this console generation just started. Microsoft Says Next Gen Could Start in 2028 Xbox's Phil Spencer also said a piece on the console wars, calling it a “social construct within the community” during his testimony. Citing numbers from 2021, Microsoft said Xbox held a 16% share of the console video game market. Microsoft claimed its original Xbox was crushed by Sony and Nintendo when it entered the market in 2001, and the company said it's been "losing" the "console wars" ever since. The FTC hearing was no exception, as the week kicked off with news of Microsoft claiming Xbox has officially "lost the console wars". The entire Xbox/Activision Blizzard saga has been filled with both Microsoft and Sony downplaying their respective achievements to appear as meek as possible to regulators.
