Xbox One X’s Price Point
One of the major reveals that players knew would be coming in Microsoft’s E3 2017 conference was the Xbox One X’s price point. With Xbox executives like Phil Spencer and Aaron Greenberg previously stoking speculation over exactly how much the One X would cost, players were unsure how it’d stack up compared to the Pro. Well, turns out it’ll cost more. Quite a bit more, too.
At $499.99, the Xbox One X is $100 more than Sony’s PS4 Pro. Now, granted, you’re looking at a more powerful console capable of running games at a native 4K resolution, but whether or not the difference between upscaled and native 4K is worth an extra $100 is questionable. Unless the One X has way more substantial third-party support than the PS4 Pro with enhanced framerates and this stunning resolution, it may have just priced itself out of the race.
