Now that the Switch 2 has been out for a while, things seem quiet in the gaming world. Too quiet. There’s usually something just about visible on the horizon, some rumour about a great new console that will blow the others out of the water, an unreleased king to command a place by our TVs.
But not right now. While we’ve seen a leak of PlayStation 6 specs that may or may not be real, we know basically nothing about any new PSP or Xbox consoles at the time of writing. The current console generation has been running since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series were launched at the end of 2020, and has seen a refresh of one of its biggest players, the PS5. Nintendo seems to have retired from the front line of the console wars since it released the Wii in 2006, instead concentrating on creating a line of lower-powered consoles that blur the line between a box under your TV and a handheld machine.
