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).
