Ultimately, I think they will need a drastic move to make Xbox hardware remain appealing in some fashion, it can't just be anymore "another Xbox but slightly stronger" and I think it has to be either uniqueness in the hardware (like Switch) or they need to make drastic changes to the system itself, I.E. it's time to make Xbox an open system running Windows.
I believe the Surface team are in charge of Xbox hardware as well since recently, Surface hardware has always been interesting.
I'd actually be excited about the idea of a Xbox handheld and an open Xbox system
The core issue of this approach would be digital licenses and B/C...For digital licenses, I think anything Xbox owns is simple, Play Anywhere, Microsoft can easily give us the digital licenses on this new combined "Xbox/Windows Store" but third parties will tell them to get fucked and want people to rebuy everything because at the end of the day, it won't be the Xbox store anymore, where they purchased their things.
B/C is an issue too, they can emulate it elsewhere but again, the licenses are for Xbox store only.
