Well, we know there will be a PlayStation 9 in 2078! Evidently console lifecycles will start to get very long.

But in all seriousness, I had the same thought about Xbox. One more console and then I think they might throw in the towel and become only a developer and publisher, like Sega did.

I hope not. I like Xbox and I like competition.

I do think we'll continue to see Nintendo and Sony consoles. I also think if Microsoft exits hardware that we'll eventually see other, smaller competitors attempt to enter the market—and likely fail within one generation. Think efforts like Google Stadia.

Back when Atari was king there were still a glut of competitors: Odyssey 2, Intellivision, ColecoVision, etc. There was technically an Odyssey 3, but all were failures and the companies quickly exited the market (including, ultimately, Atari).
