There are a lot of rumors around Microsoft with these consoles but at the moment Microsoft said that they are working on both traditional disc-based and streaming only-machines under a variety of codenames – Scarlett, Anthem, Anaconda. According to Brad Sams at Thurrott (the source of various rumors around these new Xbox’s) he said that Microsoft is already working on 4 new consoles.
Scarlett is the umbrella codename for all of Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox projects. It doesn’t refer to any one specific console.
Also Microsoft is assembling a new development platform named GameCore that will make Xbox game creation faster and easier.
Remember to take this rumors with a grain of salt.
GameCore is the evolution of the UWP platform and is going to help Microsoft eventually start building container-based apps. GameCore will make it significantly easier for developers to utilize Xbox services on both PC and the Xbox and should provide for higher levels of performance with lower-level system access and control of hardware assets.
But before those devices and software show up, we will first see Maverick. This is the disc-less console that I wrote about a few weeks back that is still on track to be released next year. I believe it will still be released in the spring but as with all hardware and products, plans may change or be canceled.
