Xbox restates plans for next-gen Project Helix to be a "family of devices", stressing "many players will be on the go"

Microsoft has reportedly reiterated its plan to have multiple Xboxes - of some description - for the next and 10th generation of consoles. The suggestion being that there's a main console accompanied by some kind of portable, on-the-go games machine.

The suggestion comes from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who was talking yesterday at a company 'town hall' meeting that Windows Central was reportedly sent a transcript of. "We are moving to a family of devices for Gen-10," Sharma is reported as saying. "There is not one device that fits all.

"We will certainly have a great console first," Sharma added, "but we also know that many players will be on the go. There are some things that we are the best in the world to manufacture, and there are other things that we will partner on. So, we will be sharing more about that as our plans develop. The operating system is starting to look really good. We're very excited about this."

This is not the first time Microsoft has talked about next-generation plans, nor about its desire for Project Helix - as the next-generation Xbox hardware is codenamed - to be a "family" of devices. Sharma said almost the same thing to the BBC recently, stating: "We've been hard at work on a great next generation and a great family of devices for Helix, and we'll share more soon."

Sharma isn't reported as saying anything more about Helix during the Xbox town hall meeting, but she has previously said "Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games" , suggesting a kind of hybrid nature.
