Just when players are worried about the future prospects of Xbox consoles, Microsoft has finally come forward to clarify that the next-generation console is indeed under development.However, it probably won't be a traditional home console like past generations.
The person in charge of Xbox recently revealed in a podcast that the next generation Xbox will be a "very high-end, carefully crafted experience." This shows that despite the poor sales performance of this generation, Microsoft still has high hopes for the next generation of consoles.
In a recent interview with Mashable, Sarah Bond spoke candidly about Xbox Ally and the company's future hardware plans.She said that we can see some of their thinking on the next generation of consoles on the Xbox Ally handheld console.

In addition to emphasizing the high-end positioning of the hardware, this also clearly implies that Microsoft may really move towards hybrid consoles next.This rumor has circulated before, and an AMD engineer recently hinted at a similar possibility.
The so-called "thinking" may refer to the fact that the next generation of Xbox will become a hybrid platform integrating PC and console, where "exclusive games" will no longer be important.It's also possible that she simply meant that the Xbox Ally X is also a high-end device.
Bond said that's all she can reveal at this time.Regardless, she praised the Xbox Ally series, pointing out that the basic model is aimed at ordinary users who want easy entertainment, while Ally X is designed for high-end gamers.
