All the early official teases and long-standing rumors suggest that Project Helix, the next Xbox machine, is going to be a hybrid device that combines your console and PC libraries on a single device. According to Seamus Blackley, one of the principal designers of the original Xbox, that's a "boring pitch," and he's much more excited about what's coming next from Valve and Nintendo.
When it comes to Project Helix, "I don't know as a developer what I'm excited about and I don't know as a gamer what I'm excited about," Blackley says in an interview for The Expansion Pass podcast. "I am vastly more excited about Steam than about Helix. As a gamer, from a content standpoint, as I think everybody would be. Or, you know, what's Switch 3 going to be?"
