Which doesn't mean we won't see more OEM-built handheld-PCs with XBox

Microsoft is backing away from making their own portable console
hardware. Or, really, any gaming hardware in general. They haven't
--yet-- given up the idea of making another XBox console, but on the
whole the company is a lot less bullish about hardware in general.
These days, it seems they're much more interested in streaming and
cloud services.

I have seen some speculation that MS are changing course on how they make money from games and focusing more on the software/services instead of hardware. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a next generation of XBox but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last one.
