Asha on Project Helix: "We are moving to a family of devices for Gen-10. There is not one device that fits all. We will certainly have a great console first, but we also know that many players will be on the go. There are some things that we are the best in the world to manufacture, and there are other things that will we partner on. So, we will be sharing more about that as our plans develop. The operating system is starting to look really good. We're very excited about this."
This sounds an awful lot like we may be getting first-party reference devices along with third-party OEM's. Which is something I've LONG speculated would be the case. If there's one thing that MS has always struggled on when it comes to console gaming was hardware. They're not a hardware company like Sony or Nintendo.
I'm expecting the OS to be built on top of Windows as well. Doesn't make much sense to have separate teams working on a closed console OS along with a dedicated Xbox app on Windows. I wouldn't be surprised if Helix is announced alongside Windows 12 to showcase this merging.
