Next Xbox Named Sarah Bond 'Interview Shaping the Next Console Experience'
The next xbox should be powerful, expensive, but controversial in a few months, and should restore the confidence of gamers.
In an interview with Mashable on YouTube, Xbox director Sarah Bond sat down to discuss the ASUS ROG Xbox Alliance.She described it as the first time Xbox made a handheld device, pushing back against the narrative on X (formerly Twitter) that it wasn't an actual Xbox product.
The interview focused on the new Xbox Ally, but Bond hinted at the future of Xbox hardware and where the platform is headed.Specifically, it provided the strongest indication yet of how Microsoft is positioning its next console to consumers.
Xbox President Calls Next-Gen Console "Very Premium, Carefully Designed"
When asked about the future of Xbox hardware, Bond didn't reveal any technical details or release plans, but said:
That choice of words stood out.Premium and Assembled indicate that the Xbox Series S is moving away from the affordable corner and more into high-end territory. Bond said that some of the thinking behind the next generation can already be seen in Xbox Ally, hinting at deeper integration with Windows, AI features or a more unified ecosystem approach.
Nothing has been confirmed and it's still an early guess, but his comments are unlikely to see another sub-compact unit like the S series that's good for gamers.There are two series of ssholes because second-hand equipment is good for the House, especially at second-hand prices.
However, it is difficult to know what is the most strategic strategy of XBOX to survive, given how Microsoft's business is built in the cloud, artificial collaboration.

It's easy for Xbox fans to get frustrated lately.Game Pass has gone up in price, and as someone whose friends see me deep into the Xbox space, I'm constantly asked if Xbox is dead.It's getting tiring.
All the latest news, reviews and guidelines for Windows and Xbox DieHards.
Cutativity around Xbox feels like it's at an all time high.Unknown cables get a good guide on the Internet, while the terms of use cannot reduce them close to one vision.It's because many people don't have money that the Xbox is in trouble or removed from stores, even though that's not true.
Recently, Xbox Series x and Series Series have become more expensive due to tariffs.This situation creates an even bigger obstacle for studios developing games on the platform.This is a problem because increasing development costs will primarily hurt indie developers, and game diversity will save the field.
The main problem, at least from my point of view, is that X has changed the words that have been used in the years he has been at the center of the idea.Since Microsoft bought the storm, Xbox seems to be the driver of the gaming community.As executives like Satya Nadella think that while spending $70 billion on one advertiser, Microsoft's A.I.Now add AI and addiction.
Xbox is still hot and even a PlayStation veteran likes Xbox Ally
I recently covered Shuhei Yoshida, a respected figure in Playstition's legacy, called Xbox Ally x PC PM Gameheld.This is a meaningful little reminder.
However, it's hard to stay positive in the face of rising prices, and even though Bond is doubling down on the hardware, hearing that this will be a high-end premium device makes me lose hope.But I will say that a single system that can play both my Xbox library and my Steam library is probably the device that warrants the premium price tag, but whether Xbox will offer something similar remains to be seen.to find out, and failing that, the series X and S may be my last attempts at Xbox hardware.
