[READ OP!] (Opinion.) Xbox Helix is the End of Xbox as a Competitor with PlayStation & Nintendo; the Start of Xbox as a Competitor with Steam, GOG, etc.

[firebush03]

According to this interview, it seems that Microsoft has a clear path forward for Xbox:

(i) Xbox is a digital storefront competiting with Steam, GOG, and EPIC Games; the Xbox Helix will function like the Steam or ROG family of devices.
(ii) Xbox will be as relevant to Sony or Nintendo as Steam, GOG, and EPIC, and therefore the Xbox Series marks the finale of Xbox as a traditional gaming console.
(iii) The Xbox ROG Ally is to the Steam Deck as the Xbox Helix (home console variant) is to the Steam Machine. It is a family of devices intended to complement or replace your PC gaming experience just like the Steam and ROG family of systems.

[Q1.] Am I understanding Xbox's future correctly? And if so, [Q2.] do you agree/disagree with claims (i), (ii), & (iii)?
