How Much Will The Xbox Series X Cost?

[Vinc]

Locked in or not, I'm sure they're aiming for 499.

I think the One X was also kind of a test of that price point. I think MS might have aimed to release at that price point while Sony was going for 399 earlier on, but I think Sony realized that would put them in a bad position on power, so I think they both are targetting 499 and aiming to deliver as much power as they can for that price point, basically.

 

[Mack]

499$ is my guess.

 

[ShapeGSX]

$499

 

[mikehaggar]

Have they released the full specs for the Series X or is it still just rumors/speculation?

 

[RoninStrife]

It's designed by the guy that made the Surface... thing may burn a hole in the wallet, I say $549 and marketed as "PREMIUM"

 

[LAM09]

I can't see it being priced at more than $499

 

[Tribal24]

I want it to be 399, but i dont think most people outside this audience even remember the PS3 launch, and inflation is a thing, so i wont be shocked if its 599

Yeah this is where I think both consoles going to be priced.

 

[WhtR88t]

I'll be $599 for the Series X and $299 for Lockheart. Microsoft will market the "next generation Xbox experience" starting at $299. Sony will be stuck with no cheaper next gen offering and be selling an underpowered, more expensive, next gen PS5 for $499.

That way Microsoft can claim the crown for 1) Cheapest next gen experience 2) Most powerful next gen experience.

 

[Khrol]

Whatever the cost is it's time to start saving

 

[Dinjoralo]

The specs seem way too good to be under 600 USD.

 

[Cels]

the RTX 2080 super is about 11TF and launched at $700 half a year ago. by the time xbox series x at 12TF launches that card will be ~18 months old but if microsoft sells at $500 that's a pretty nutty value proposition

 

[Deleted member 49611]

£400-500 i'd guess.

same for the PS5.

<£600 is my limit to buy it ASAP. if it's more than that i'll probably wait until well into 2021.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Anything over $500 is a death wish. Heck, even $500 is risky. So I've voted for $449.

Is 12 TF just the house? Would the figure include the cpu?

just the gpu i believe. it's a prediction from gamespot because they had an interview where spencer told them the "gpu power" of series x is double that of the XB1X which is known to be 6TF

[Governergrimm]

I'm expecting $499 for both this & the PS5.

[DukeBlueBall]

$499. They launched their last 2 consoles at this price.

In addition, the Reddit leak from January 2019 had $249 and $499 for the 2 SKUs.

 

[nihilence]

Probably $499, but $449 would be groovy.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

You do know the PS5 is nigh identical yeah?

So you think they'll be $599 too? Or is Sony more willing to take a hit than trillion dollar Microsoft?

 

[Dabanton]

I'll be $599 for the Series X and $299 for Lockheart. Microsoft will market the "next generation Xbox experience" starting at $299. Sony will be stuck with no cheaper next gen offering and be selling an underpowered, more expensive, next gen PS5 for $499.

This sounds about right. Classic Apple tactics.

And it works as well.

Adding the Surface brand alone will add $500+ to the cost to the console. Surface is a very strong brand and can charge a large premium.

 

[jelly]

Series X - $599

Lockhart - $349

PS5 - $449

 

[MisterAnderson]

$299-399 for the lower end model, $599-699 for the higher end.

That "Series X" name though seems like they want it as a series, like the Surface's. Honestly think we will see Premium prices from MS for this.

 

[Strike]

This thing looks like it's going to be a beast so $499. Early adopters are always the enthusiasts so you'll probably get a more affordable box (i.e. Lockhart) not too far down the line.

 

[Bugalugs214]

600-700 in Australia I would bet.

 

[digitalrelic]

87% of the 1,400 polled so far believe the console will be $499-$599, so that's a pretty clear expectation for the price point of next-gen consoles. Glad to see there's so few crazies believing it'll be $399.

 

[Braag]

499 or 549

 

[Remark]

$500

 

[Pyro]

At least $500. Curious to see if PS5 would find success with a hypothetical lower price point/power.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I would like it to be $399

 

[StrykerIsland]

I live in Canada. It will definitely be 699+.

 

[Suede]

I'm going to say £449.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Xbox X - $599
PS5 - $499
XB Lockheart - $399

 

[digitalrelic]

499, if they go higher it's dead land. People are still remembering the PS3 blunder and the infamous 599USDOLLARS.

It's not 2006 anymore. A $600 console in 2020 is the equivalent of a ~$470 console in 2006. It's not unreasonable.

 

[mutantmagnet]

The overwhelming majority wants the price to be no more than 500 and you will be disappointed.

The specs are too high to really make a profit at 500.


With the rumored specs of the 1080p series S I see it being priced at 300 usd.


To take the sting out of the price of series X at 600 usd they will bundle a free year of xbox live, maybe even ultimate.

 

[jett]

499 is definitely the baseline and I wouldn't be surprised if it was more expensive. Shit looks massive.

No way, I don't think sony will price theirs over 499 and since it's rumored to have similar specs that means xbox will do the same thing. I can't see happening unless sony really is making a less powerful 500 dollars system (unlikely)

Before asserting how reasonable prices are factor in purchasing power of the average consumer.

The widening income inequality gap is a serious problem.

 

[Balmung421]

$599, and the Series S will be $299.

Hence the Series S. There will be options available for a range of consumers.

 

[flaxknuckles]

It will be free you just have to sign a lifetime subscription contract with Gamepass for the rest of your life.

"The Xbox Series X will retail for ... Five Hundred and Ninety-Nine US Dollars"

Lol jk. Maybe

 

[Raide]

499 seems to be about right for what they are expecting to push into the system, tech wise.

 

[zoltek]

$499. They'll take a loss on the console sale, make it up in software.

You are often wrong, but on this you are absolutely correct. ;) I agree. They want everyone on the xbox ecosystem and then make their money on suddenly-more-expensive GamePass.

You joke but it'd be nice to see this as an option, especially since all Xbox One controllers/accessories will be compatible. Might be too much of a pain to have so many SKUs though.

 

[Ryu]

I voted for 599,-... Still think they will come up with a "digital-only" version soon too that will offer a better pricetag of 499,-. Would also make me go for the 499,- then, probably even a straight pre-order. I went full digital a year ago on every console, never looked back.

Honestly I *could* see it happening too just because the new controller isn't drastically different and like you said, Xbone peripherals work with it. I would totally buy it without a new controller at a discount lol.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

I am curious as to why some people are thinking Microsoft will charge $599 whereas Sony will charge $499. If they are within spitting distance, spec wise, I don't see Microsoft charging an extra $100. They will match Sony no matter what.
