It's just not going to be in the traditional way.

The Xbox is going to be absorbed into Windows 10 and/or Windows 11. It's already happening with all the games working on both platforms. Microsofts actions speak louder than Phil Spencers words on this.

There will continue to be Xboxes, but I think in the future we'll see more skus, ranging from a $100 more gaming focused Roku competitor to a high end $500 gaming machine. It's pretty clear that their goal with UWP is to have all Windows store software at least technically compatible with all their hardware. Though I don't think we'll ever see them drop the Xbox name, because there's already too much brand recognition. There would be nothing to gain from such a move.

Ultimately, I don't think their plans will have any real effect on xbox console gamers, but it'll throw a wrench into these ridiculous console wars.

They might turn Xbox into a line of gaming PCs.
