I am guessing xbox will go first (on TSMC 3nm) zen5c + RDNA 5. One boxed traditional console & one handheld series S style console Sony is in no hurry as they have the pro by this year end. So they can wait till zen 6 & RDNA 6 (2nm ?)

Rumours are that, since xbox skipped the pro console, they might go first, as early as 2026 Sony might release the PS6 only in 2028, in alignment with RDNA 6

Looks like that offer is gone now Lowest price now is $375 https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-rx-68xlaqfd9/p/27N-0002-00117?Item=9SIA2W0K438626
