[WCCFTECH-Rumor] Lockhart Will Be Half The Price Of The Series X; Series X prepared to be $400, July Event Will Be A “Night Of Mic Drops”

I don't for one second believe the system with the larger APU is going to be cheaper to manufacture, not taking into account all the unknowns (cooling, custom hardware, etc).
The account is 12 years old, and beyond3d is rather strict on posters, so I'd say there's inherent validity.
These are very aggressive price points though.
Your not wrong, i never intend to get lockhart. I will be going full series x. Its already paid for.
also my comment is to kind of say a 200 dollar lockhart is not happening, hence i wont throw my one x in the garbage.
400? That's a huge margin loss for MS if true but i don't believe it at all.
At this rate the next article is going to be something like "MS ships a free unity of Series X for everyone with an active Gamepass subscription" lmao.
Next gen is going to be expensive no matter what brand of choice you like.

Any actual serious discourse on Sony possibly going 599 is fuckin ridiculous and that alone makes me dismiss this whole thing to be honest.
Even with their arrogance, I can't imagine Sony doing 599, let alone the fact that a 450 bill of materials does not add up with the possibility of a 599 price point. Most likely scenario is 499 for standard/450 for digital, and imo Series X will likely be 500.
The more interesting thing will be if Sony actually manages to cut 100 dollars off the Digital edition to hit the magical 399 price point. I don't think Sony having a 100 dollar price gap between both systems is that out there (especially since in the end they would only benefit from more people buying digital editions), but a 450 bill of materials makes me wonder if 450/399 is possible. I imagine it will largely depend on how much manufacturing, shipping, labor, packing and marketing ends up costing, but I think 499 is the absolute max a PS5 will be going for.
Even with digital edition as Sony's wild card, MS could still very easily undercut it. There's a big difference between just removing a disk drive, compared to what MS is doing with lockhart which is having a GPU that's a 3rd as powerful (and as such will probably be a lot cheaper), in the machine, on top of a very real possibility of also removing the disk drive.
should be interesting times ahead.

whats the difference performance wise between the lockheart and the xbox 1 X? Seems like a pointless console
reading the article it does make sense and also likely the reason why we don't have pricing for either system.
Microsoft is willing to go as low as $200/400 for their systems depending on how Sony prices the PS5.
Both are playing chicken with pricing as you can't just backtrack that once it gets out

Unless Sony comes out as give us the price in the next 2 months how will they know ?
You have the rumour saying they giving out that info in July but we have no price info from Sony yet .
Yes. The $200 Lockhart is less believable to me than a $400 Series X. Unless it really is a turd.
Let it happen. Only good things come when the industry is pushed like this. Love this shit.
If I made my bets :
Lockhart $299
PS5 DE $399
Xbox series X $399
PS5 $499

Lockhart $299
PS5 DE $399

I heard it was gonna be $99! My brother knows Bill Gates.
Come on now, you all know this is b.s.

People expect to get a next gen console for $200 while an X1 SAD is $200 at the end of a generation lmao
I fully believe the threat of something like this or even half as good as this is why Sony haven't announced a price yet. They undercut the Saturn to devastating effect, they know the damage being undercut can do.
No company. Like Microsoft has a lot of money but they're not willing to lose billions of dollars on a project.
I can see a 500 and 350 combo, or a 450 and 300 if they are very agressive, but 400$ Series X sounds like a pipe dream. I mean, if it's true, how are they making money of it? If they are losing money on hardvare and gamepass, are they getting enough on XBL Gold and people outright buying games?
90m Xbox Live MAU isn't 90m subs, you should read what was said by who they quoted. PSN has 103m MAU as of December 2019 for example.
I don't doubt Phil has some manueverability on price, but going as low as $400 seems like it's from some bad fan fiction.
The bit about one AAA game every other month is also absurd. I'd believe one AAA every 3-6 months, with plenty of AA games between to get close to filling a calendar year.

I really doubt MS announces the price before Sony unless they're very confident they know what Sony will be pricing the PS5 at.
That's what I would think, I absolutely agree, but now scroll a bit back to what I was originally quoting.
Someone with an X who "would happily throw their X into the trashcan" to buy a Lockhart. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
