Not an official announcement, but it's probably safe to assume an Xbox handheld is in development.

You’ll get maybe ten to fifteen years out of it

That's way longer than most consoles last before the servers get turned off

Microsoft is at least good about supporting their gaming hardware for quite a while. But better than other consoles still isn’t good enough. I’ve got a computer from ~1990 that still works and can play contemporary PC games. You can bet the Steam Deck will still work in 2060.
