Publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Halo Studios have announced Halo: Campaign Evolved, a full remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Micro…
Speaking to Variety, Xbox president Sarah Bond notes that the company is working on hardware. While some of the interview focuses on the recently-released ROG Xbox Ally devices, Bond does outright confirm that Microsoft has “next-gen hardware in development.”
So here’s the thing. They can say whatever they want. Stores are still pulling Xbox hardware from sale. That is the canary in the coal mine. Microsoft isn’t coming back to the market after that. Especially not with an overpriced console that has no exclusives.
Their current trajectory, is almost identical to that of Sega’a post Dreamcast.
Sega did the same with Dreamcasts still on the shelf, had them discounted and removed from sale in stores while announcing they were still working on more hardware.
One year later: just kidding. SEGA now only make software / Sonic games.
Microsoft is absolutley just about to do the same with Halo and Xbox.
Here’s an article from Sega in 2001 about the death of the Dreamcast being overrated because of Segas future hardware plans (that later never materialized).
It reads almost exactly like the one you just posted from Microsoft.
They say they’re working on new hardware every time they make their software worse so people think xbox is still worth it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the statement is just talking about a prebuilt windows PC that boots straight into game mode and they aren’t actually working on a proper console.
Even if there was, would you buy it? Just looking at everything the company is currently doing to destroy the brand, should be enough to turn anyone off. Even if you are a diehard of Halo or Gears or Fallout etc, you can play then on, apparently, anything else.
I think back to the 360 days, all the fun, the friends I made, the games I played, and its heart breaking seeing what its been turned into by this gaggle of cave brained cunts who seek profits over fun.
Yeah I’m out. I never got a series X/S. I still play my One X and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. I’ve already decided my next “console” will be a PC running Linux in the living room with some controllers.
So… there’s never going to be another Xbox?
Highly doubt it. IF they do release something it’ll probably be a streaming box. but yeah I doubt they’re going to release another console.
The most recent episode of Skill Up’s weekly show did say that the next Xbox will be a premium thing (aka $$$$$$)

That’s corpo PR speak. That doesn’t say anything
okay go ahead and ignore the company’s official statement answering your question then
