Microsoft could justify a $1000 console if it can also be used as a full desktop computer. I couldn’t see Sony doing something similar unless they miraculously brought back Linux mode.
But I also wonder if Microsoft will take a legit attempt at salvaging the Xbox brand next generation since they’ve completely blown this one now and are making no steps to remedy it.
They’ve had the hardware for it since the first Xbox, so I assume they’ve gone out of their way to avoid that. I believe they want to make sure their consumers buy both an Xbox and a PC.
I mean they just announced a handheld „Xbox“ that can‘t even play Xbox games but relies on Xbox Gamepass and your PC library. They don‘t do consoles anymore.
The PS5 security keys got leaked, until they make a new hardware revision (can’t be fixed with software) every existing ps5 (and maybe pro) just became fully open.

Play Anywhere means you can play some xbox titles on the handheld system, but for most of us this isn’t worth it. Very little support at the moment.
