E3 is almost here, and Microsoft appears likely to begin debuting its plans for the next generation of Xbox. The timing is right, and Sony has already started to outline its PlayStation 5 specs. Microsoft has said it will "go big" at this year's E3. Rumors have been circulating for months about a new Xbox, and E3 would be the place to finally make it official.
Before we look forward, though, let's take a look back. Microsoft has been debuting new hardware for almost 20 years, and it may be instructive to the future of Xbox if we look back at how Microsoft has debuted its previous consoles.
The New Xbox
Now all eyes are on E3 2019 as the most likely place for Microsoft to debut new consoles. Xbox head Phil Spencer seeded an announcement last year at E3 by stating that new consoles are in development. He later reiterated that the company has "a lot to share" at this year's event. Now, with only weeks remaining, we'll see what exactly that means.
