Following a series of leadership changes recently, Xbox has started officially teasing its next console, codenamed Project Helix, which will play "your Xbox and PC games."
Personally I hope no one buys this “console”. There’s been way too many rumors and general discussions that this will be the “last Xbox” and Microsoft has already lost the “first party” game front.
There is zero reason to buy Xbox at this point. Game Pass is stupidly expensive(and you can’t even buy Gold separately anymore). This new “console” is supposed to be stupidly expensive as well.
I would hope this would force people to just switch to PC, but the hard heads will buy Xbox and the noobs will buy PlayStation.
I loved my original Xbox and the 360, but Microsoft has been on a steep decline since. The writing’s been on the wall for a long time.
I’m hoping Steam comes in and just destroys console gaming forever.
Consoles made it normal to pay for a subscription service to play multiplayer. Consoles are why games want to charge $70-90. Consoles create wallet experience and “exclusive” platforms for their games.
