Xbox co-creator is more interested in Switch 3 than Project Helix because Nintendo hardware is "at least really interesting and cool, even when it fails"
Xbox co-creator Seamus Blackley expresses more excitement for Nintendo's and Valve's future hardware, like the potential Switch 3, than for Microsoft's rumored 'Project Helix' hybrid console. He finds the concept of a combined console-PC device uninspired and prefers the clear content identity of Nintendo's platforms, citing the appeal of exclusive titles like The Legend of Zelda. Blackley suggests that a lack of understanding of gaming's hit-driven nature and executive insecurity are leading Xbox away from compelling exclusive games.
