Following the launch of the Xbox One X last year, Microsoft has been quiet regarding its future plans for the Xbox console. While the latest Xbox One variant showcases a brand new design and bigger hardware for the best possible gaming experience, the public is still waiting for a hint if Microsoft will introduce an all-new Xbox machine soon.

Dubbed as the Xbox Two, the next-generation console is rumored to pack with killer features such as a staggering 10 teraflops (TFLOPS) of graphics power, and possible support for Windows Mixed Reality headgear.

The latest scoop about the Microsoft Xbox Two is not quite solid, especially that the company has not officially announced the Xbox One successor. Nevertheless, there are hints suggesting that the Xbox Two will eventually see the light of day, although the public should be patient enough in waiting. If the rumors are anything to go by, there might be another two or three years until the arrival of the Xbox Two.

It is possible that the public will not have to wait too long for the Microsoft Xbox Two, considering that the company has been releasing upgraded Xbox One variants with only a few years in between. To note, the Xbox One was first launched in 2013, and the slimmer Xbox One S was announced three years later. After just one year, Microsoft then introduced the Xbox One X, which offers an immersive 4K resolution gaming. This time around, the Xbox Two could launch sometime in 2020.

Things were different then following the release of the original Xbox console in 2001. Microsoft had to spend four years to launch the Xbox 360, while the Xbox One only came after eight years. It appears that the company has recently adapted a faster approach in releasing next-gen Xbox consoles, and it is possible that the Xbox Two will be out sooner than later at this rate.

In terms of the specs, the Microsoft Xbox Two is expected to be more superior than last year's Xbox One X. Knowing that the Xbox One X boasts a massive 6TFLOPs of graphics, the Xbox Two could deliver much improved performance by going as high as 10TFLOPS.

Another possible highlight of the Xbox Two is the integration between the Xbox console and Windows 10 PC via cloud-based video streaming technology. Lastly, Microsoft could finally reveal its first mass-produced HoloLens headset for gaming. Just like Sony's PlayStation VR, this Windows Mixed Reality headset could be made exclusive for the Xbox Two.
