Overview
- Tech insider KeplerL2 now estimates Microsoft’s next Xbox at roughly $1,200 with Sony’s PS6 near $600, a prediction that remains unconfirmed by either company.
- Reports describe the Xbox “Magnus” APU as substantially larger than PS6 silicon by roughly 42% to 46%, positioning the system for higher raw performance.
- KeplerL2’s latest memory estimates list about 36GB RAM for Xbox Magnus, around 30GB for the PS6 console, and roughly 24GB for a rumored PS6 handheld.
- Wccftech and others relay claims that Magnus’ bill of materials is more than double Xbox Series X, with some leakers asserting the retail price would exceed $999, especially if Xbox supports Steam, Epic Games Store, or GOG.
- Xbox CEO Sarah Bond recently called the next console a “very premium and high-end curated experience,” while timing rumors still point to a tentative 2027 window subject to change.
