- Rumors were circulating that Xbox might quit hardware after the Project Helix.
- An insider has stated that he knows that there are plans for future consoles as well.
- Xbox has been struggling in hardware sales since the last couple of generations.
Microsoft’s consoles have been on a decline since the last generation. The sales are faltering, and the fan base is shrinking. There were even doubts that the company would quit the hardware space, but then it announced Project Helix.
Even after the hybrid Project Helix was announced, there were lots of rumors that this could be the company’s last hardware endeavor. However, an insider claims that Microsoft plans to make more Xbox consoles after Helix.
Why it matters: Considering that the company’s next-gen console isn’t a traditional console, instead a PC-console hybrid, many will undoubtedly be intrigued, but the sales will remain a question until it releases.
Jez Corden, in the latest episode of the XB2 podcast, stated that, despite other rumors, he for a fact knows that Project Helix won’t be the company’s last Xbox console, as it does plan to launch more in the future.
In fact, to put it out there, I know it’s not the last console. I don’t think it’s going to be an issue. Like, they’re going to keep making them.
This is really interesting, as the console business apparently isn’t generating much revenue. Series console sales have struggled, so if the company is still counting on consoles, it means they have high expectations for the next-gen.
However, reports already point towards a hefty price tag for the Helix, so high sales could be a challenge. Also, while Jez is a big name in the industry, he is known to be wrong on occasion, so let’s wait and see.
