Recent statements by Microsoft indicate an ongoing commitment to next-generation consoles, despite current struggles. While sales of the Series X and S have not met expectations and there are rumors of shifting focus towards cloud gaming, Microsoft insists that it remains dedicated to developing future first-party hardware. In a recent message, the company emphasized its investment in building gaming products designed and engineered by Xbox.

In light of these developments, concerns over Xbox’s sustainability have surfaced, particularly regarding the impact of dwindling sales and the broader gaming ecosystem. Microsoft’s pledge to new hardware, including collaborations with AMD, suggests it is proactively addressing these challenges. Future console offerings may redefine the traditional understanding of gaming systems as the industry evolves.
