Yep at latest E3 Phil Spencer said they were making new consoles with a plural, that means either 2 or more consoles for next-gen I guess. And a streaming box just doesn't make any sense, Sony tried this with PS now and it was a complete failure, I don't think Microsoft can do any better.

A 300$ and 500$ console makes better sense, this way they will have the most powerful console and the cheapest one in the next-gen war against Sony.

Actually, we have recent rumors of a streaming box as well, that has a decent chipset in it that runs latency dependent tasks locally. https://mspoweruser.com/rumored-xbox-streaming-box-reportedly-powered-by-custom-amd-picasso-chip/ I think we could see something like this next gen:

$250- Streaming Box

$350- Lockhart

$500- Anaconda  

 

It's also possible that we will see discless variants of Lockhart and Anaconda for $50 cheaper than the disc-drive variants, since MS is testing the viability of a discless console with the discless S next year, so we could see:

$250- Streaming box

$300- Discless Lockhart

$350- Lockhart

$450- Discless Anaconda

$500- Anaconda

Yeah I still don't believe in a streaming box, windowscentral leak never mentions a streaming box and the other dude (Brad Sams) who says a streaming box is in the works probably just didn't understand his source correctly, he must have confused streaming box with the hardware in the datacenters. But we will see.
