Xbox Helix launch sales predicted to hit just 2 million units

An analyst from S&P Global Market Intelligence has predicted that Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Helix console may sell only 2 million units in its launch year. This projection is significantly lower than the 3.2 million units sold by the Xbox Series X/S in its first year, which was already a record low. The analyst's forecast considers the possibility of Helix being a PC/console hybrid or an Xbox-certification program for PC manufacturers, with a true console appealing to a niche audience. Factors contributing to this prediction include declining consumer interest in the Xbox brand, rising hardware costs, and a perceived lack of must-have games. AI
