Why it matters

The launch of a new gaming console is a huge event, defining the future of gaming for years and generating massive consumer excitement.

Resolution criteria

The market resolves to the major gaming platform (Microsoft/Xbox, Sony/PlayStation, Nintendo) that officially announces and releases a new generation flagship console (not a mid-gen refresh or portable-only device) first. The announcement must be clear about it being a 'next-generation' console. Authoritative source: official company press releases or major tech/gaming news outlets reporting the official announcement.
