PlayStation won the console war, but Microsoft’s Project Helix is the plot twist

New Xbox boss Asha Sharma recently confirmed Project Helix as the next Xbox, describing it as a performance-led device that runs both Xbox and PC games, blurring the console–PC boundary.
Sony's PlayStation continues to prioritize premium exclusives and a tightly controlled platform, while Microsoft appears to be redefining Xbox beyond a single box under the TV, with a broader platform approach.
Tech reporter Moore's Law Is Dead estimates Helix retail between $999 and $1,200, suggesting a $900 hardware cost and warning upgrade restrictions could limit PC-like freedom for consumers.

Industry signals point to revived GPU production as Hankyung reports Samsung Foundry prepping NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 chips, reflecting console–PC convergence with Xbox blurring hardware boundaries.
