It may not be heard as much anymore, but the truth is that the technology industry is currently being hit by a shortage crisis in different components that prevent the mass production of some more current products, the most notorious case being that of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S.
Despite this, companies never stop developing R&D, so that, as I write these lines, the successor to Nintendo Switch has been in development for about five years, while PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox will take 1 or 2 years of development. And it seems that something new from Xbox could arrivesince it has been filtered a new xbox console under the code name Xbox Keystone.
The equivalent to the Xbox One X?
It should be noted that this information must be taken with tweezers as in any other topic in which we have unofficial information. That said, it must be said that the name of Xbox Keystone has been leaked through a dataminer who has shared this discovery and that, in addition, has already leaked things from Microsoft in the past (Although this type of information should always be questioned).
In this way, the initial speculation is that, far from talking about a successor, since it would be too soon (remember that Xbox Series X and S were launched in November 2020), there is talk of a review of this consolewhich could be equivalent to another letter for the Series since this could be either a Slim model of the X or a 1.5 version of it.
It should be noted that the latter is merely speculative, since only the Xbox Keystone name has been leaked without further details or information about it, to the point that it may even be a peripheral. However, its position in the files that have been extracted by Tero Alhonen (which you can see in the following tweet) suggest that it is a console:

Likewise, it should be noted that, despite everything said, the possibility that we will know what Xbox Keystone is in the short term is quite remote, since the semiconductor crisis would not make it viable Because, at the end of the day, if Microsoft can’t meet all the demand for the Xbox Series, much less would it dare launch another console today. Only time will tell.
