Is Xbox hinting at something with "6"?

Now, I didn't watch that recent Xbox Developer Direct presentation. Even so, I have noticed a couple of interesting things in subsequent reports and I thought I'd better seek the advice of GRcade.

Evidence #1 - Nintendo Life reported about a hidden "Quake 6" reference in the Indiana Jones sequence:
Image



Evidence #2 - I then looked over Pure Xbox and saw this picture shown... in which that "G"is clearly a "6"!
Image


So... is there something Xbox-related on the horizon to do with "6"? Have I uncovered something Earth-shattering? Is this a GRcade World Exclusive?!?

Fake edit: Oh, oh, oh! OG Xbox (1), 360 (2), Xbox One (3), Xbox Series S/X (4 & 5)... !?! Is "6" a new console?!?

Please select the voting option that reflects your thinking and then whip up something in the comments.

Wasn’t there a rumour of a new console coming in 2026 as well?

Ah! The evidence is now piling up, Milner! It feels like there is definitely something being hinted at.

If they're thinking about next gen already that's an absolute joke. I'm not sure we've had one great AAA exclusive for this generation.

If anything I'd guess Gears 6, I don't follow that series though so don't know if it's already been announced or if the devs are already doing something else.

6x6 = 36, I have zero clue what that means but if you add the zero on you get 360... :shock:

Jawa…. Are you ok? :lol:

I’d love it if this turned out to be some world exclusive tease from them that you’ve stumbled upon though!

The 360 is Xbox console number 2

6 divided by 2 is 3

Half Life 3 confirmed.

Perhaps a new Gears could be underway, Edd... there has been nothing official, but... just look at this...

...this was the sixth post in the thread! Maybe rinks planned this and is confirming Gears of War 6?!?

Hang on... does this mean... a 360 Mini could appear? This thread is producing some amazing ideas!

Yep, they say Microsoft is skipping the mid gen refresh and going with all new hardware.
Given all the additions that the PC has seen with image processing in the last 5 years this could be a good move as they don't need a huge bump in horsepower they just need hardware integration of the AI stuff that I don't understand.

It's certainly going to be interesting to finally see an actual hardware difference between xbox and PS for a change.

Smooth Criminal was Michael Jackson's sixth (!) Top Ten hit from the Bad album in the US. Is this a sign that Moonwalker II is coming to Xbox?!?

It would be incredible if we were at the hub of huge breaking news, Milner :o .

I'd really like to see just how mini the boffins at the xbox hardware hq can make a 360.
If it's a digital only then they could make it ultra tiny so maybe the size of a glasses case if they use 7nm chips.

You've stumbled across what could be a huge development, Peter; perhaps this is all a sign of MS moving to 6nm chips :o .

Xbox 360

3x2 = 6

60x2 = 120

New successor to the 360, the Xbox 6120!
