[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”
- Thread starter Proven

Why would 3rd party devs know anything about what Microsoft plan to sell both of their consoles for?
Sorry but that reads like the fever dream of a fanboy who was upset over how much better Sony's showing was than MS' May travesty.
Surprise me, MS.
Surprise me, MS.
I know it happens and it varies from company to company but I'm just saying it's an important thing to keep in mind everytime someone begins with the "well MS has endless money" narrative.
If Series X is $399, I will import one even though I don't have an Live account. Sony's PS5 digital edition is giving me bad vibes because in Asia, they can afford to mess with us with pricing in order to sell that SKU. Not looking forward to Sony Malaysia's $150 gap between Digital only and full console.
I doubt the veracity of this rumor overall. If lockhart is indeed going to be half the price of XSX, that'd mean 600 for the xsx at the very least
We'll see after the night of a million mic drops that puts Apple, Google, Nintendo, and Sony back onto their heels.
First, the implication is that they would be taking a huge loss and target subscription-based services. Second, It will likely be a discless console with equivalent power to that of the Xbox 1X but with more future proof features, e.g. an ssd. Third, some of the most graphically demanding games like DOOM have ended up on the Switch, because the engine is scalable. Scalability is the future and most developers know it.
In other words, it won't be garbage. It will be a stripped down version of the series X and be fine.
If you read the article they say this
I can not find anything in any of his posts that suggest he has insider info.

this is himself making the board aware of that he knew of the mercury name before the other site.
but that was not insider knowledge.. that was just some of the people in the xbox Insider program who had found the name in the system.. that is not some info he got from someone in the know..
I can't find any other "insider" stuff he got right anywhere..

If the Series-X is $399, you won't be able to wipe the smile from my face for at least 3-days, maybe 4.
What for? It's not like anyone in the thread thinks it will be 400/200.
This would be awesome actually since it'll make the PS5 have a real competition for the generation. We NEED that or else you end up with a scenario like Intel/AMD had for several years.
Also, a $200 1080P console would really encourage a faster transition into the next gen. Only hardcore adults or rich kids would get a console at launch but for that price and during a stay-at-home economic collapse, this could make it accessible to the average gamers.
Don't forget that 1080P is 4X less pixels than 4k. I imagine the GPU would be much cheaper while offering the same result if you're playing on a 1080P screen.
Again, this pricing wouldn't make sense to an engineer but as a consumer, it's awesome.

Yep. this is the realistic expectation. They don't need to be cheaper than the PS5 with the XSX since they have Lockheart. I do believe they will match the PS5 price with XSX though
$399 for the XsX and then $199 for Lockhart? Yeah no. I'd fucking wish but this isn't happening at all.
Really? Nearly 1000 posts on a WCCFtech article citing a random forum poster who has no history of accurate leaks at all?
Surely there has to be some sourcing standards for threads... as much as I would love these boxes to be $399.

Was Era slowing down because of this thread?
Anyway, cool, could be $400 USD for XSX, $249 for the Lite version.

Don't really care what the console price is. Well I do, but within reason. I'm going to get it regardless, but I just want good content :)
MS already come out and told us they keeping they games cross gen they not going have anything only for SX
Anything wccftech reports is nearly always bullshit.
...I'm not saying that what they're claiming is impossible but they're most likely just talking out their ass like they always do.

We'll see. Source seems fairly reliable but I'm not getting hopes or expectations up. The Inside Xbox in May was supposed to have enormous megatons, it was mainly indies and AAs. The Sony presser was supposed to be an industry-changing onslaught with Silent Hill and Final Fantasy level of exclusives - we know how that went. I definitely expect this to be one of Microsoft's all-time greatest moments with all the studios and their aggressive strategy, but all the "mic drop" talks make me suspicious because we've done this song and dance very recently and it was unwarranted.
