They are probably going to lose just as much money putting them into production and not selling any

The source reporting this seems to be reliable according to others. Even with no discontinuation and another xbox next gen, that system will sell as though xbox was discontinued. Apparently the next xbox won't be a console but a cross between a pc and console.

Costco, target, and Sam’s club and Walmart pretty much bushing Xbox but I guess those are just specialty shops

That's true, and I know it's Microsoft. However, I don't think you want to break a deal with a partner like AMD. AMD is a powerful company and you don't want to upset a partner like them that is currently on the rise like they are. I still think it's one more gen and it will most likely be a pre-built pc with an xbox os that is not SOLD at a LOSS. It will be an expensive piece of hardware to target enthusiast and it's clear with current direction that they're okay if you buy games on Playstation, Nintendo, Steam, etc.

That is gonna bomb too, specially if the Steam "console" rumors are true.
Console gamers started building their digital libraries on PS4 and they are not gonna abandon that, PC gamers already now how to hook up their PC to their TV if they want to and they won't go for a more expensive Xbox branded build that problaly gonna be hard if not imposible to upgrade.
It might end up cheaper to buy their hardware over building a pc. I could be wrong, but buying parts in bulk would allow them to gets the needed parts at a much cheaper rate. I think cost will be key for their potential pre-built pc . If it's at a decent price where it's cheaper than building a pc, then they can get a decent amount of sales. I just know one thins for sure they're not selling at a loss, and it will be up in the air if this will be somewhat competitively priced.

PC market is different, people don't like closed gardens and honestly looking at their response to the 70 billy investments, the tariffs etc who knows how much they are gonna be willing to lose per box.
I just don't really see the point of it, even a Valve one would probably do better but not good enough to be like a PS6 competitor.
I think one thing that will doom the steambox is missing out on key live service games. Not having access to Fortnite, riot games, and i could be wrong but there are some issues playing EA games on steam os.
