A new rumor suggests Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, could cost between $999 and $1,200 while delivering major performance gains over the Xbox Series X.
Is this locked down hardware that is priced like a PC or a PC with a console/PC OS that can be reinstalled with another OS?
Because if its locked down then for PC gaming I don’t see the appeal of paying PC prices for a neutered PC that won’t let me install another OS. And for console gaming I don’t see the appeal of paying PC hardware prices to play games.

My assumption is that it’s a living room PC with a windows equivalent of steam big-picture mode on it.
But knowing Microsoft, there will be shenanigans.
