Knowing how far ahead R&D needs to be to get a product out the door…I’m sure MS has already made this decision. Is there any indication that the Xbox series is actually unprofitable? It being third in market share is not necessarily an indication that they’re losing money this generation.
Aside from the general understanding that consoles are sold at a loss for the first few years, no I don’t know of any direct evidence that they’re unprofitable.
My guess is that they’ll be pushing cloud gaming, as it would be more profitable than hardware sales.

For an incredibly long time, it was their biggest money maker. Iirc only recently, M365/Azure has taken that spot.
