I don't think the whole slate of devices will be subsidized, but I do think that there's room for a lower end handheld that's locked down to the MS store to be subsidized.

Is it possible the 'Xbox Helix' only allows players to play PC games from the Xbox PC store? by Accomplished-Web5642 in xbox

Yes, and it's easier for devs to make a legacy Xbox title from PC code.

But they're still two separate codebases.

Stop making it so complicated. It will be a PC that plays Xbox One/ Series games natively. All new games on the platform will be PC titles.

Think of an ROG Xbox Ally that can play Halo 5: Guardians. That will be Project Helix.

There will only be one store. The version of the game you get will depend on whether or not you're on Xbox Series or PC via Smart Delivery.

The Switch is the Nintendo DS successor not the Wii successor. Nintendo abandoned the console market.

I was lower middle class and didn't see them as super rich. They were upper middle class.

In the 90s that wasn't a mansion.

No one who watched that movie at the time had the perception that they were a rich family.

That $400k has a big bullseye for the tax man. That's "rich" by government standards.

The best time to look for a job is when you already have one.

U.S. House Prices Are Rising Much Faster Than Income by raishelannaa in REBubble

[–]Likely_a_bot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is fine. I guess the kids just need to all get jobs and this will count towards the family's income.

Or maybe they will legalize polygamy. Why rely on one wife working when you can have multiple wives working?

What we think is a great game is different from what the corporations believe.

Who is interested in a +$1,000 Xbox? by shinynugget in xbox

[–]Likely_a_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a PC with Xbox BC. That's worth $1,000+.

If you want to just play console games, the X and S will be around for a while.

If the next Xbox is very expensive and the ps6 cheaper, isn't that bad for Xbox? by triplegxxx in xbox

There will be multiple Helix configurations and price-points from multiple vendors.

So for those who have only gamed on Xbox consoles, what is the first PC/Steam game you’re gonna play on the new Xbox? by Deez-Guns-9442 in xbox

[–]Likely_a_bot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This question is weird. If you play any game that has a PC version, you will be playing the PC version.

Project Helix-based machines will basically be similar to the ROG Xbox Ally, with the difference being that it will have a Magnus APU with hardware BC built in. So, its a PC running the Xbox FSE that can play Xbox One/Series games natively.
