Microsoft is rumored to be developing several upcoming titles and one of the consoles some believe to be in development is an Xbox hybrid console similar to the Nintendo Switch. However, according to Windows Central’s JezCorden this turns out to be false. In the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Corden stated that the console will be a standard home console but will have a handheld as an add on. “I’ll tell you now: there’s going to be a separate handheld and there’s going to be an Xbox Series X successor,” he said. “It’s going to be two different things. They’re not just going to try and go all in on handheld only; they’re going to do a more traditional console for the Series X people and then a handheld. […] I’m predicting a Series X successor, a handheld, and the end of the paywall for premium multiplayer games.”

The Next Xbox Console Reportedly Won’t Be a Hybrid Console

Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? Is it a gaming handheld? No, it’s just the new GPD Pocket 4, and it’s a bit of all three — although without much of an emphasis on “gaming.” Unlike the Steam Deck, GPD’s new mini-PC packs some of the latest hardware and could blow away its competitors.

If you have more than one gaming console, you might think you're indulging yourself. But don't worry about it, because Ibrahim Al-Nasser from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, just set a Guinness world record by hooking up 444 of his gaming consoles to a single television. They're all different from each other, and they're all playable.

I wasn't expecting much when I set up the Hisense U8K in my office/game room. But as I ran the TV through my usual gauntlet of tests, the U8K impressed me in every way that matters. With bright, vibrant images, and crisp audio, as well as customizable refresh rates and contrast calibration, the Hisense U8K is well worth the money, especially if you're a console gamer.
