"Microsoft very much would like you to know that there will be another Xbox console, as recently rumours have been circulating that there will not be. But not only, that, it's apparently going to be a "very premium and high-end curated experience". That's according to Xbox president Sarah Bond , who recently sat down with Mashable to answer a few questions."
"Exactly what she is referring to is never addressed. My guess, though, is that she's referring specifically to the custom version of Windows that runs on the Xbox Ally X, a streamlined version of the OS that was designed to be better for gaming, with mixed results. If so, that's an admission that the next Xbox console will be closer to a PC than ever."
Microsoft plans to release another Xbox console positioned as a very premium, high-end, curated experience. Design cues from the handheld Xbox Ally X suggest a focus on a streamlined, gaming-optimized operating environment that may align the console closer to PC architecture. Rumours include potential Steam compatibility and third-party Xbox-branded hardware, fueling speculation about hybrid or PC-like functionality. Recent price hikes pushed the Xbox Series X to $800, raising concerns about affordability. Game Pass pricing has also increased, contributing to uncertainty about Microsoft’s long-term Xbox strategy and consumer impact.
