So... there's never going to be another Xbox?

So here's the thing. They can say whatever they want. Stores are still pulling Xbox hardware from sale. That is the canary in the coal mine. Microsoft isn't coming back to the market after that. Especially not with an overpriced console that has no exclusives.
Their current trajectory, is almost identical to that of Sega'a post Dreamcast.
Sega did the same with Dreamcasts still on the shelf, had them discounted and removed from sale in stores while announcing they were still working on more hardware.
One year later: just kidding. SEGA now only make software / Sonic games.
Microsoft is absolutley just about to do the same with Halo and Xbox.
Here's an article from Sega in 2001 about the death of the Dreamcast being overrated because of Segas future hardware plans (that later never materialized).
It reads almost exactly like the one you just posted from Microsoft.
