What Will the Xbox Series X’s Price Be?
The Xbox One had a bit of a disastrous launch back in 2013. Not only was it marred by Don Mattrick’s ‘all-in-one’ TV set vision, but it also came with a difficult to swallow $499 price tag. Simply put, Microsoft won’t want to make that mistake again this time.
That being said, from what we know about the Xbox Series X and the PS5 for that matter, these next-gen consoles are packing a ton of horsepower.
We also know that the $499 price point isn’t necessarily something Microsoft sees as being out of bounds, with the Xbox One X initially releasing at this price, too.
Whether or not it’ll try again at $499, or take a bit of a loss on the hardware to entice more players to pick up the system by opting for a lower price point remains to be seen.
A lot of this, we imagine, will come down to what the rumours are about Sony’s pricing strategy with the PS5. Expect the concrete price tag for the Xbox Series X sometime in June.
