Even if they were to release a number of games on PlayStation or Nintendo hardware, which we should have better insight into next week, I really believe there's no way they would have exited the console market anytime soon - a Xbox console is the single easiest way to access Game Pass atm and they've made it clear that that's their priority above anything else imo.
So basically it becomes a Steamdeck* with a subscription service?
*but with microtransactions galore and 20 different versions of the same game, and all "on sale".
...pass
I'm not sure I get your Steam Deck comparison?
So basically you can get an xbox without a disk reader, and it is essentially a console version of an xbox, but instead of "owning" games they're pushing you to get one subscription or another.
But other than that I see no great leaps in consoles to keep upgrading (and some games have even regressed)...especially since there is an absolute boatload of games on previous generations.
