Of course Microsoft will continue to make Xbox consoles. They've poured decades into that brand, and it's become all the more powerful now that they own Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard.
Which means they own Doom, Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, Warcraft, Diablo, Candy Crush, Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero. And these are just the franchises they've recently acquired. Frankly, it would be bad business to not have some sort of flagship hardware to showcase these games.
The bigger question is whether Xbox will continue to be some locked-down walled garden or whether Microsoft will finally realize, "Hey! We own Windows too! And Valve is eating on our own operating system!"
