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?

I think cross gen is going to be bigger next generation than this. Every game from Xbox will release on Xbox Series at least 4 years after Helix comes out and they will continue to sell the Series consoles as the "low" entry point. I think Sony will do the same with PS5 and PS6.

So next gen I think that's what will happen. Helix the high end console that has Xbox and other PC storefronts and the Series consoles are the low end Xbox. That's the best approach I think.
