It must be a sideways leap. Maybe they change over to nvidia styled architecture

I don’t buy it. Xbox has for a while now pushed away from being a hardware platform to being a software platform. Specifically a gamepass platform. They don’t need to sell Xboxes anymore, they need to sell subscriptions and they can sell these on many devices.
Also, what does a next generation console even mean anymore? If you look through the history of gaming the big jumps have brought big gaming enhancements that simply couldn’t be possible on previous generations. Since Xbox 360 it’s just more resolution and frame rate. The only real current gen gameplay feature through hardware I’ve seen is fast storage which allows for things like Ratchet and Clank to do that multiverse jumping.
You’re forgetting the controller. Haptics, adjustable tension on triggers, etc. Also spatial sound.
Never had a controller pick up a drift quicker than my bought-new 2 series x ones, the other half my controllers being from like 2018 off eBay, used

This works on every modern SSD which is standard in most pc for years now and also a reason why this games works on pc without that ‘feature hardware’ in your pc.
The jump from Xbox One, 1.4 teraflops, to Series X, 12 teraflops, is 10.6 so as long as the next one is 23 teraflops it will be the largest jump ever. It’s easy when you manipulate the numbers.
The 4090 is around 100 teraflops so even if it’s a quarter as powerful as that they can claim success.
The same size jump (8.5x) would land at 100 teraflops, not 23.
It’s relative, not linear.
