If they have an actual strategy for the future to make Xbox successful again this is a good move.

^ this.

If they are committed to trying to really sell big numbers of hardware units again (consoles), this could be a worthwhile price to pay for that.
That requires a semi affordable next gen console though. 

The rumors of a 1200-1500$ next gen xbox, will make that hard to achieve.
Does anyone realistically see "project helix" selling like 80m units at such a price?

They really do need to go down the two console route again like they currently have. Except the lower end model needs to be more powerful relative to current hardware specs than the Series S. Ie. More like PS5 and PS5 Pro than Series X and Series S. So we get a ~$600 console and a $1,000+ console. Both will be hybrid console PCs. 

1. Project Helix = $600 and $1,000+ console PC hybrids
2. Make all single-player games / traditional Xbox IPs timed console exclusive for 6+ months (Forza Horizon 6 caused a small boost in the UK)
3. Bring back limited edition bundles / consoles with unique looks. Ie. An Xbox that comes with X game that also has artwork on it that is based on X game.
4. Better and more consistent marketing
