We must recognize that social networks are loaded by the devil because, the need for some to upload anything is so pressing who inadvertently sneaks into the photos that post things they would prefer not to be seen, even if they have nothing to do with what the community interprets. And something like this has happened with Phil Spencer and a congratulatory message dedicated to Bethesda and its fallout.
What is that on the shelf?
The fact is that these days an important anniversary of the saga is being celebrated in style falloutowned by Bethesda, which has managed to blow no more and no less than 25 candles (although it has been in the hands of North Americans for fewer years) and of course, as Microsoft bought the owner of the IP, well everything has been congratulations, praises, joys and no one has remembered that those in Washington have been cloning the old ideas seen in their glorious Fallout 3.
Be that as it may, Phil Spencer’s message contained a photo of a bookshelf with items related to fallout and surely, he did not realize that something similar to an Xbox One S looked at the topor an Xbox Series S, but with a much smaller size and that has served as a hook to start inviting fans to get on the bandwagon of conspiracy theories: that if it is a new Xbox, that if it is proof of existence of the project Keystone…
It looks like Phil Spencer is teasing the rumored Xbox streaming stick/console codenamed Keystone in a new shelf photo https://t.co/7SRScfUkNO https://t.co/F6mVSZ5hxk

If you remember, the project Keystone was announced in 2021 as a kind of device that allowed to play with Xbox Cloud Gaming on a Smart TV, a kind of Steam Link (now defunct) that, together with a gamepad, allows us to enjoy our purchases remotely, but above all Game Pass (in this case) without having to buy an Xbox Series X or an Xbox Series S. That is, to strengthen your commitment to the cloud gaming.
And what does Microsoft say about this?
So what are you going to say? If it were a new Xbox, I wouldn’t say so, but it doesn’t look like it is either. If Microsoft wanted to launch a new machine, complete or cloud-ready, of course the place to work with it would not be on a shelf gathering dust which is where we see it in the photo posted by Phil Spencer. Moreover, the explanation given by those of Redmond is quite consistent with what common sense dictates.
A company spokesman has gone out to the media to confirm that it is an old prototype that has already been dismissed, so, effectively, the best place for this type of object is the shelf, to remember how badly they were conceived or to make it clear that what once seemed like a great idea ended up being a simple paperweight that has no use . Because this type of models are still empty shells without any functionality.
It’s not the first nor the last of the companies to work on more than one design for a console that may (or may not) end up hitting stores. Or do you not believe it?
