Microsoft is keeping its full next-gen Xbox Project Helix plans under wraps for now, but fresh rumors suggest Asus and MSI could be involved. Yes, those are two companies that happen to make the best gaming handhelds today, but they could end up producing their own versions of the future home console in addition to first-party versions.
The next-gen Xbox info comes courtesy of Kepler L2 via a NeoGaf post, with the leaker suggesting the Project Helix custom AMD chipset could make its way to third-party machines. In response to questions surrounding whether the SoC will be available on other machines, the insider clarifies that "it won't be sold directly to consumers," as a component, "but you will be able to buy an ASUS/MSI/etc Helix machine."
