It’s not possible to continue releasing ever-more powerful hardware every few years, while remaining affordable. Xbox Series X and S are still relatively expensive 5 years after release. Their price is apparently higher than before, possibly due to inflation.

Hopefully they consider doing a refresh of series X / S, with slightly more efficient hadware but similar computing power. Adding more compute has diminushing return on game quality anyway. And there’s probably room to fit more without changing storage/compute by optimizing games and software.

It’s probably a harder sell marketing wise to release new hardware with the same capacity. So they’d have to innovante another way.
