Microsoft reportedly projects $1,200 to $1,800 price for 2028 Project Helix
摘要
据Fortune报道，微软内部预计2028年假日季推出的下一代游戏主机价格在1200至1800美元之间，同时计划明年年底推出一款新一代掌机设备。若微软选择补贴成本，消费者价格可能降低。该价格区间反映了摩尔定律放缓与AI驱动的零部件短缺导致高端游戏硬件成本上升的趋势。
We haven't heard many details about Microsoft's upcoming "Project Helix" gaming hardware since the company announced it in March as a device that will "play your Xbox and PC games." In a new wide-ranging profile of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, though, Fortune alludes to a dual release strategy for upcoming Microsoft gaming hardware, with "a next-generation handheld device" planned by the end of next year and a 2028 holiday season console release that could cost between $1,200 and $1,800.
That future console price range is based on what has "internally been projected" at the company, according to Fortune. But the price for consumers could come down if "Microsoft decides to subsidize the cost," the outlet says, as many console makers have done in the past.
While a $1,200 starting price would be historically high for the game console market, even accounting for inflation, it also reflects a new normal: The slowdown in Moore's Law and AI-driven component shortages mean cutting-edge gaming hardware just isn't as cheap as it used to be. This year, the Steam Machine broke the $1,000 starting price, while the 2-year-old technology in the PlayStation 5 Pro is now going for $900, and the 6-year-old Xbox Series X now starts at $750.
