I don't buy it. Xbox has for a while now pushed away from being a hardware platform to being a software platform. Specifically a gamepass platform. They don't need to sell Xboxes anymore, they need to sell subscriptions and they can sell these on many devices.
Also, what does a next generation console even mean anymore? If you look through the history of gaming the big jumps have brought big gaming enhancements that simply couldn't be possible on previous generations. Since Xbox 360 it's just more resolution and frame rate. The only real current gen gameplay feature through hardware I've seen is fast storage which allows for things like Ratchet and Clank to do that multiverse jumping.
Consoles have gone the way of cellphones.
