George Lucas says movie studios have become too reliant on focus groups 🎞️
"The audience doesn’t know what they want to see. If they don’t like a character, that’s interesting, and as a filmmaker I want to find out why. But when the studios hear that, they take the wrong message. They let the audience actually make the movie ... now they go crazy with that"
"Now, it’s all about what the fans think. That isn’t how you make the movie. You make a movie by finding someone that knows how to make movies, that has a story to tell and is passionate about it. You go to the movies because the stories move you emotionally"

Ram and NVM will likely be the most expensive so old is good enough DDR4 3200 16 gigs, NVME options of 512 gigs, 1tb, with a upgrade slot or external drives
Ok so xbox helix hmmmmm how would I build it.
Well I would rip the screen off a high mid range laptop (AMD, cpu,gpu), make it fit a nice case.
Add new external accessories, like mouse, full keyboard, disc drive, external GPU drives for cheap future upgrades.
I would use the laptop base, simply because the monitor or keyboard and mouse devices are not required w I think a controller. Lowering the required components to build making the console affordable.
Having the keyboard and mouse as an accessory means you could bring more people in to the Microsoft world and windows. You also would be giving everyone who bought it a Home PC
And there it is the real reason and the tough truth as to how game pass has eaten away Xbox. The day 1 drops of new games.
Killing day 1 releases will obviously be bad press. But I do believe that is the primary cause of the problem for game pass.
