Microsoft’s next Xbox, Project Helix, could keep physical discs alive.
New reports claim the console may have a disc drive and support physical games from the original Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. You could potentially bring your old disc collection to the next Xbox instead of buying those games again digitally.
Microsoft has confirmed that Helix is being developed and that it wants games from four generations of Xbox to remain playable for years
There have also been reports that Microsoft is asking Xbox users how important physical-disc support would be for the next console.

@tomwarren Tom, we are very happy with GTA VI pre-orders. The title is breaking records for XBOX, we expect even more records will be broken throughout the fall, and our internal analysis shows our share of pre-orders to be matching our share of the console market.

Double Stuf Oreos aren't double stuffed. A high school math teacher in Queensbury, New York had his class weigh 10 of each kind, then weigh the plain wafers separately and subtract them out. Double Stuf came in at 1.86 times the filling of a regular Oreo. Mega Stuf came in at 2.68.
Nabisco said the recipe calls for double the creme and they weren't familiar with what happened in the classroom. Insider ran the same test later and got about the same number.
Fable developers say the IP is so 'vital' to Xbox that it has allowed for a decade-long development cycle
"What has protected us over a long development cycle is that so many people within Xbox view Fable as vital to the DNA of the platform."
As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
