I uh... whatLet me answer this with an original eastmen post
Xbox Series X|S Backward Compatibility Enhancements Detailed [XSX|S BC]
Key snippet: Ronald also spoke with IGN, and when asked if "thousands" meant that the goal was every single Xbox One game – in addition the hundreds of Xbox 360 and original Xbox games already compatible with Xbox One that will also play on Xbox Series X – Ronald said, "The goal is definitely...forum.beyond3d.com
Jeez, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't see that shit as "throwaway money". Do we have Saudi princes posting here or some shit? I am a grown-ass man, and I can buy a new console without starving to death, but that isn't the type of money I would be thoughtless with.
If this is true the play is to attract folks not in the MS ecosystem with a $400 console, subsidize some of that loss by promoting Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions and hope it hooks them into becoming long time members.
If true, interesting.
I actually went to look up some big polish game devs as none popped in my head. Ones I found were, Techland, Bloober team, People can fly.
I won't even consider CD Projekt Red, cz that seems highly unlikely

lmao the fk did I just read
I don't think the rumour is true, but this forum has a really fucking bad history of MASS DOUBT and shit coming true lately "no way this is impossible etc etc" and then later on "oh wow /crawl into cave"
Sooooo it wouldn't surprise me either way

A post from the person who this thread is based upon.. a post from him answering a person who asked if he could say more about his "knowledge " about codename mercury..
I want to pay more because it feels like a more premium experience. We've had that argument already. 😂
Not buying this, unless they redefine AAA or include remasters. That kind of volume would be incredible for their internal studios.
Has MS come out and said they expect to make profit on every console sold? Getting boxes into living rooms is more important than making profit on them, especially now with gamepass and the like, so I can easily see them eating the cost and putting something out for $400. I'm guessing even at $500 they''d probably be selling at a loss.
What loss? They've already said it's not making a loss for them
$400 wouldn't be enough to get me to switch.
That said, the idea of the Series X being $400 is farcical.

It's weird.
Microsoft being extremely aggressive on price and doing whatever the hell they can to undercut the PS5 is one of the least surprising things about the next gen launch.
Average income on Era is pretty high I think due to a lot of people having degrees and working in white collar jobs
The issue is not with the idea of the Series X being $399, it still could be.
The issue is this source is shit tier and for some reason there's still a thread on it. These prices could be 100% true and announced tomorrow and I still wouldn't believe this source.
So all those $1 deals and they're still making money? Suprising. The rest still stands though.
That has to be a "where we want to be a decade from now" type target, right?
They're giving months away for $1 and most hardcore users who likely actually subscribed after that are likely those who even gamed the system to get multiple years of service at dirt cheap and haven't needed to pay anything else yet, not to mention paying for all the content, no way it's not making a loss for them at this stage.

I could see these prices happening. It would definitely be huge if true.
At the end of the day, Microsoft wants more Game Pass/GP Ultimate subscribers, so giving people an aggressively low cost entry point makes sense. Toss in a one-month free Ultimate card in the box, and plenty of people will continue the service after the trial.

Not quite a bit cheaper, but eastmen even predicted that console to be the same price as ps4pro or even cheaper.. lol
$299

A gamepass+ digital only Lockhart bundle could turn out a $200 console depending on how you math the value of each piece
I hope MS is super aggressive with pricing next gen especially now their biggest competitors/rivals in the tech industry (Amazon, Google and Apple) are all starting to take gaming more seriously. I expect MS to build upon what they already have and go all in. make it happen MS. Satya, Amy and Phil give us mic drop moments all the way until XSX launch. :)
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 is84X 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

Corrected. I should have done the math, my memory is poop.

This is all conjecture based on vague claims by Spencer with no receipts. Netflix has done nothing but lose money so far but their CEO isn't about to go around broadcasting it when they don't have to back it up.
LOL!!! For real!!! What's going on with ERA right now!?
I can see the Lockhart being $400:
PS5 DE: $449
PS5/XBSX: $500
