Xbox CEO Asha Sharma in an interview with BBC News revealed the next-generation Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, is a "family of devices."
This suggests there will be multiple consoles like with the current generation with the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
She was asked on whether Project Helix would be a discless console and she replied, "We're not sharing more on Helix, I know you had to ask it. But look, 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 has previously stated the video game industry "needs to start to innovate on affordability and efficiency. That is something that we have not had to do [previously]. But with the crisis that's currently happening in hardware and components, it is absolutely something all of us need to be thinking about and innovating on and giving people more choice in terms of how they play their console and how they purchase their console."
The cost of storage and memory have skyrocketed causing Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony to increase the price of their video game consoles.

Can't talk about it
Which means yes, it'll be discless. But that has always been expected.
It being a family of hardware was not tho, we had rumors about a portable Xbox just like a portable Playstation, but it has been a while since the portable Xbox one was said to be canned, since around the partnership with Asus for the Rog Ally.
Is it because Helix is a PC so people will obviously be able to upgrade at least some parts and that constitutes a family of hardware?
Another X/S with an H or M (handheld (hybrid) or mobile) would really be great next gen if they do a better job of balancing the hardware of each model this time around.
I'd be much more inclined to pick up a Helix S console instead of a PS6 handheld hybrid.
