Looking at the situation with Series S and Baldur's Gate I'm getting more and more convinced that if Microsoft really wants to expand their console base and not just be in this business to milk whatever loyal customers they have left, they really need to risk next time and go all in for Series X/S successor. Switch to ARM. Replace a Series S like console with a handheld. And make a higher end traditional box that replaces Series X. (With ARM it might even be possible to make it the size of current Series S). Backwards compatibility will be a problem here, but the wizards from B/C team will make it, I'm sure. The traditional approach - let's repeat Xbox One, but better doesn't really seem to work. I guess it's time to take some risks. Especially with Switch, Steam Deck, ROG Ally going viral and cloud gaming not really taking off (exactly as I predicted years ago). I think handheld Xbox device will be a big hit and exactly what Microsoft needs to reinvigorate their console business.
