With confirmation that Sony will no longer make discs for the PlayStation as of 2028, an ugly picture of the next generation of consoles is coming into shape. Not only will the next PlayStation system–projected to launch by the same year–embrace the all-digital future, but the next Xbox, dubbed Project Helix, is likely to as well. Can these still be considered consoles for the casual gamer–the kind of person who just wants a reliable system that plays Grand Theft Auto 6 , the latest NBA2K game, and Call of Duty–when they probably launch out of the gate at around $1000? Whenever Project Helix is released, it will reportedly also feature flexible payment plans like those Xbox consoles currently support, in order to soften the blow of a purchase that could very well exceed $1000, much like the Steam Machine.
