This is the first step for the next console generation. Calling it now. The next Xbox is just a windows PC with a different skin that launches into the Xbox app. This paves the way for handhelds too.

When asked if a hypothetical Xbox handheld would be a dedicated gaming platform where you can play games locally (like a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch), or a cloud-based handheld, Spencer responded: "I think being able to play games locally is really important."
No. The xbox is a separate OS that at one point was based on a very stripped down version of windows. I'm talking running an actual windows version that can run Steam and any other x64 app. A true unification of console and PC.
