The new Xbox could cost a crazy $1,200 to $1,800, and Microsoft's portable console will be out in 2027.

According to Fortune, the company plans to release its own portable Xbox by the end of 2027, and a full-fledged next-generation console under the codename Project Helix by the end of 2028.

Internal calculations estimate the cost of producing the new Xbox at $1,2001,800.

Microsoft will only be able to lower the price for its customers through its own subsidies.

At the same time, the development of the portable Xbox was accompanied by a serious conflict between the Windows and Xbox teams.

Some wanted to use a simplified Windows, others insisted on a system optimized for gaming.

The controversy escalated to the point that one of the Xbox executives threatened to shut down the project completely.

As a result, control of the operating system was transferred to the Xbox team. #game
