"Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed that the system is codenamed "Project Helix." Confirming previous rumors, she says it will "lead in performance" and play both console and PC games. Sharma also notes that she'll be discussing the system at GDC next week with partners and developers."
"For the first time, in a long time, there's something intriguing happening in the land of Xbox. Much like the first Xbox, Microsoft could end up cutting this generation short to quickly prep a successor. And if the rumors about a PlayStation 6 delay end up being true, it could give Microsoft a few years with new hardware ahead of Sony."
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced Microsoft's next-generation console, codenamed Project Helix, which will prioritize performance and support both console and PC games. Sharma will discuss the system at GDC with partners and developers. The announcement follows her recent appointment as Xbox CEO, replacing Phil Spencer. Microsoft's gaming division faced challenges last year, making this new console announcement significant. Project Helix could potentially be a hybrid device blending PC and console functionality. If rumors about PlayStation 6 delays prove accurate, Microsoft may gain a competitive advantage with earlier next-generation hardware availability.
