@Rich_Leadbetter you mean the developers wouldn't have access to the newest RDNA 5 feature set in order to target the shipping systems' specs is the reason for "Devkits" needing shipped early 2027?
On the point many have raised concerning Xbox lack of IP to back Project Helix, it will, theoretically and yet to be confirmed, have up to 70,000 games not available on PS5 or Switch 2 on day one through access of Steam, GOG, Epic Battle. Net and other storefronts this AT THE RIGHT PRICE, could be very compelling indeed.
One point I'm unclear on with regards to Project Helix and as Rich said here that sees the dedicated console development environment gone. Why would they need to "Ship Alpha Dev Kits"? PC development is done on, wait for it, PC.
