The next Xbox could be waiting on the memory market

Microsoft says the next Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, is still in development.

Tight DRAM and NAND supply, driven by AI demand, are raising component costs and could affect pricing and availability.

Asha Sharma said Microsoft has not set a launch window yet, but development kits are planned for early 2027.

The news shows how broader memory-market pressures are now shaping console hardware plans.
