Helix could be a very appealing alternative in the PC space considering the cost of components right now. I expect it to be £900/£1000 at the minimum. But it’ll very much price out their core console audience. Competing more with the Steam Machine than anything else, so 3-7m max is my guess.

Too soon to say... i need at least a price.

Also, i need to see if it will truly heve Steam store as an option.

With what it will supposedly be capable of it will probably cost more than a $1000. I think under 10 million is a safe bet.

Despite tech geeks making a lot of noise on message boards, the reality is there's not that many of them and even a lot of people in that group don't even have the money to spend to boot. 

$1000+ console will be a tough sell if that's what this is. Though I think it could maybe gain some traction if MS allows it to do more stuff outside of just gaming, but I'm not sure they will allow that (unhacked anyway) as they likely will get complaints from PC OEMs.



Less than the Steam Machine. Which will also be under 10m.

Xbox Project Helix is a solution in search of a problem. Which fits perfectly to Microsofts usual approach. =P

I am very curious to see what happens with the Helix, ps6 and PC. MSI said their prices are going up 15% to 30% in 2026. A powerful rig just doesn't seem feasible for a reasonable price. Feels like graphics will be stagnant for a few years.

This a million times.



Zero.

It makes no sense and won't launch at all. They will give the crappiest excuse and cancel the whole thing.

If by some miracle they release it they'll constraint the production so much it won't reach 1M before, again, cancelling it citing some BS excuse.



I've heard it will be a premium console, so I voted for Under 10 million



If its like the rumored ~1300-1500$ price tag... then probably not much over 10m imo.

I think if PS6 launches at like ~800$ it is gonna eat it alive (even if the Xbox is like ~50% faster or more).

At some point, consoles are just too expensive.
They are meant to be a cheaper alternative to PC, even if it comes at a (visual) loss compared to a no compromise PC setting game. 
Both PS and Xbox are pushing things, with these rumored prices.
