Xbox consoles and games are becoming rare finds at major retailers. Workers confirm that Walmart and Target locations are clearing out inventories and have no plans to restock the products. Repeated Xbox price increases have made the brand less desirable for businesses and consumers.
You won’t see it in any official announcement as they want to make sure their retailer partners have the opportunity to liquidate this holiday season before announcements next year. There are also a multitude of other reasons. You do not simply announce you are closing down a console while the businesses you still rely on to distribute products beyond just xbox consoles are holding onto stock.

Even this leak is that they hadn’t decided if they’ll still bother, not they already decided and lied about it. At the time, they sure did mean to make another console (that’s actually just a PC). It doesn’t make them liars if the market tells them in the interim that’s it not worth it.
