Here's How The New Xbox Prices Compare To PS5, Switch 2 & Steam Machine
This article speculates on the pricing and market viability of Microsoft's rumored next-generation 'Helix' console. The author suggests that high price points could alienate consumers and potentially force Microsoft out of the hardware market.
Why it matters
It reflects growing consumer anxiety regarding the rising costs of gaming hardware and the uncertain future of the Xbox brand.
I have said it a few times now, @Millionski , but if Helix really is this super powerful PC that people seem to be expecting, then it will not be cheap. In light of how much consoles are now costing, I don't think £1500 is out of the question. I think there may be a cheaper option too, but even that will only look cheap when compared to Helix.
