I voted console, because it is. Everything about it is proprietary, it is locked hardware. PC allows you to choose, Nvidia/Intel/AMD, add as much RAM and storage you want. Is that necessarily bad in this case, I don't think so. One problem PCs has at times is compatibility, everyone once in a while you get those games that just don't work well on some PCs, works flawlessly on console. I think it will definitely help bridge the gap. But PC will always be top shelf. Which is why Project Helix is merely a console that can do PC things.
@River_Jones Her background is in AI. I don't trust her one bit. AI is why developers were fired and projects cancelled. If you believe Microsoft is doing anything for the consumer it is a mirage. They are failing so bad they are only trying to fix a leak, so they can continue their conquest of greed.
I'm guessing they will stick to the same garbage rubber banding NPC car system. I won't be day one purchasing until there are at least some kind of update on this. 5 to me was just more of 4 in a bland environment. 6 looks wonderful but still no word on how the computer controlled cars behave.
They said all they needed to say after buying Activision/Blizzard, Rare, Bethesda, and a bunch more studios, then their board decided nah.... Lets cancel games, fire people and do the bare minimum. They boasted being the heroes of the gaming industry just to stick a fork in it.
My biggest concern is Microsoft hasn't released anything close to the promises they have made. If anything they have reversed course. Acquiring all those studios in the name of preservation just to let them die. I don't think they are capable in the hardware or software development. The age old tactic empty promises of games to come and then capitulating to Sony. Yet things are more expensive and games are getting cancelled faster than ever.

Re: Is Xbox Project Helix a console or a PC?
Nobody even knows if you can install Steam or Epic games yet. If not, definitely not a PC.

Re: Project Helix vs PS6 Will Be Interesting - But Arguably Misses The Point
I don't think Microsoft delivered on anything promised for the Xbox Series X|S. As a matter of fact almost the opposite happened.
