The announcement of a new Xbox will not affect the sales of Xbox One

The console known as Scarlett was confirmed at E3 2018.

Ironically, one of Microsoft's most subtle and least-publicized announcements for E3 2018 seems to have been Scarlett , the code name they use in Redmond to refer to the next Xbox console . This more than likely generational change would not affect the sales of the Xbox One family , currently in force, according to NPD analyst Mat Piscalla.

"Personally, I do not think [Scarlett's announcement] means anything at all," explains Piscatella to Gaming Bolt . "I mean, at the moment when a generation [of consoles] goes on sale, the clock starts to turn to the next one, everyone has the right to understand these ads in their own way, but I do not think it's about a big problem, especially when it comes to sales. "

The truth is that at the moment, Scarlett is no more than a vague accumulation of rumors and clues that do not seem to hinder Xbox One in any way. We know that the team behind the powerful Xbox One X is working on this new machine, and according to Thurrott we would see it in action in 2020 (seven years after the launch of the original Xbox One).
