PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200

by

Microsoft’s next Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, is expected to be very powerful, but it will likely be expensive for gamers who want to experience that level of performance.

According to YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead, who often shares insider information, the next Xbox – which will play both Xbox and PC games – could cost between $900 and $1,500 to build based on its potential components.

According to an industry source, Sony is designing the PlayStation 6 with a similar philosophy to the PS4. However, Microsoft seems to be moving away from traditional consoles, and their next system could cost $1,000 or even more. The price is being driven up by the cost of components like RAM, and a powerful new graphics card that will surpass the AMD 9070 XT.

A popular YouTuber suggests this new graphics card will likely cost between $550 and $650. This, combined with rising costs for all computer parts, means you’ll probably need more RAM to run it effectively.

Okay, so Moore’s Law Is Dead is saying Microsoft could hit a $900 price tag for the next Xbox if they made a ton of them. But he thinks they’ll actually want to, you know, make money off the console, so we’ll probably see a price higher than that.

I’m aiming for at least $1,000, but I’d consider offers between $900 and $1,200. I wouldn’t go above $1,500, though.

The next PlayStation, the PS6, will likely be a pricey console. However, even with a higher cost than the PS5 and Xbox Series X, many gamers are still expected to choose PlayStation, according to industry sources.

Microsoft believes its new console will appeal to Xbox players who are considering switching to PC gaming, especially if it offers a noticeable performance advantage over the next PlayStation. They think a price point of $1,000, and even up to $1,200, would be attractive to these gamers.

Most experts believe the next Xbox will be released in 2027. While there’s talk of the PlayStation 6 coming out around the same time, estimates range from 2027 to 2029. However, according to sources at Moore’s Law Is Dead, Sony is currently aiming for a 2027 release for the PS6 and doesn’t plan to postpone it.
