Except Microsoft has said they have new Xbox hardware coming.

We really need to stop spreading this misinformation (and hyperbole) just because Microsoft is operating a different business model than Sony is.

I am not happy about the price either, but this generation has been weird with Microsoft and Sony not dropping their price and increasing prices in some locations. I doubt this has anything to do with Xbox.

That is whishful thinking, even if they release the magical console, it will tank, given their attitude of "You don't need a box to play XBox branded games", while putting their games everywhere there is a GPU.

I certainly don't care any longer about it beyond the XBox App on Windows.

How is it "wishful thinking" when they have said they are doing it?

I want to believe as much as you do.

Sarah Bond's exact words were: "And we're also invested in the next generation roadmap. And what we're really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions that they're building."
