Yeah in this economy I expect Helix will simply be too expensive to achieve mainstream success, even if by some miracle they can salvage the brand's tarnished image.

With AAA budgets having ballooned as much as they have, they will have basically no choice but to sell on Sony and Nintendo.

From my POV, it depends on whether MS is able to offer it at price that is significantly cheaper than equivalent PC (I'm thinking at least ~75%), which they should be able to offer. Given that they will be Steam-ready, I might not be inclined to replace all my PCs with it, but I'll be certainly interested to replace some of them with Helix.

Not sure how many PC gamers are thinking this way, but I guess there's some amount of us that do, in addition to actual XBOX gamers who have not migrated to PS and find appeal of continuing their XBOX experience, in addition to getting access to PC gaming.

I doubt many people would buy another Xbox system after how the Series went, or that PC players will be swayed in significant numbers.

I see Wii U/Vita numbers at most.
