I could see micro prepared to sell the xsx at 400$. they'd be selling it a massive loss though.
we might see 400 w/ a 1 year sub to gamepass and gold? tied to it

Who is betting on 399?
Thats a ballsy ballsy bet.
Because at that price upgrading your SSD for PS5 will cost like half the price of the entire console?
Basing my pricing on theoretical cost of Samsung 980Pro/Evo.
P.S Fuck Samsung! Sabrent!
Yeah...they're tripping. Don't fall for the hype guys just go into this Microsoft event with realistic expectations.
I just bought an X1X in April, $300 is the ideal price for a console imo
I could see Microsoft doing exactly that, $400 XSX tied to a 1 year sub of gamepass + gold.
Though I'm still expecting Xbox Series X to be $500 and Lockhart to be $250.
I expect Lockhart to be $0.99 with the redemption of 100 Bazooka Joe comics.
Yep.
But it is easier for Sony to hit that price. Rumor was $450 Bom for PS5, something like $460-500 for XSX.
Not exactly.
Lockhart would certainly have an SSD, a better CPU. Technically a similarly capable GPU, but weaker in pure numbers.
Honestly it's the $199 to me that seems most unlikely.
wait, I won't be able to get it for a dozen box tops from my favorite sugary cereal + shipping & handling? dang it
now that I think about it, wasn't there some rumor 2 years or so ago about microsoft floating the idea of selling a system at a loss with a controller +game, so long as you did 6 or 12 month monthly sub sign up?
The person is suggesting:
Lockhart:$199
Digital only XSX: $399
XSX: $499
More realistic. But I don't see Lockhart being that cheap and 3 different units is kind of absurd.

XSX Lockhart will cost 189.99 USD
$199 if you want to contribute to the buy of WB Interactive Entertainment :v
They've had a pay-over-time plan for awhile, but it was only really available in Microsoft stores (and the total cost was more than just buying outright).
But a $199 box that you get for committing to a year or two of Game Pass Ultimate does make a bit more sense. Not a ton of sense, but more sense than just selling a new console for less than the current MSRP of your previous console.
who are these mythical "moms and dads" ? You do realise that those parents you speak of grew up with technology and indeed embrace it. I should know, I'm one of them. You all seem to have this image that today's parents are from the 1940s or something. It's complete and utter crap
It wouldn't be the first time they've done something like this.
Want a new Xbox 360 for $99? Pay for Xbox Live for two years
Microsoft is now selling the Xbox 360 for $99, but in order to get the deal, customers must sign up for the $15-a-month Xbox Live Gold service.www.cnet.com
the point is to get millions of people hooked into an infrastructure that will net microsoft billions of dollars a year
a $199 next gen console is equivalent to the "14 day free trial" from every streaming service
Lmaaaaaaaooooo, it's the Lockhart price that's absolutely crazy. Only way this happens is if Microsoft mandates gamepass to even use the console.
Hmm. It depends how severely they're willing to lock you down if you don't pay for Game Pass. A disc free model would allow them to genuinely run with an always-online model, and allow them to render the console completely inert if the subscription lapses. Requiring Ultimate to even use the box for purchased games or apps like Netflix would be a full rollback to the "Xbox Live Silver/Gold" era - but wierdly the market might be more accepting of it now than it was in the mid-2000s.
I think that's the only condition where I'd believe a $199 box exists in any form.
There have been so many rumors since 2018, including an xCloud device that only needed a small amount of compute power (this would be less hardware than Lockhart).
small xCloud device with a controller
Lockhart
Anaconda
All under the Project Scarlett umbrella
Since then, the small xCloud device hasn't been heard of. xCloud was announced to work on mobile devices.
Yeah the amount of experts on this forum is off the charts!
Video game consultant Arthur Gies tweeted yesterday he believes the PS5 would come in at $600. Now we hear $400 for the Series X? No way there's gonna be a $200 price difference.
A ridiculously cheap console as a gateway into Game Pass would do wonders for them. That said, $400 seems insane.

I don't even know how you can say something like this and keep a straight face. How much does Sony pay you, I'd like to get on their payroll as well.
Yeah, if this has any ounce of truth, its gonna be "get an XSX/Lockhart for $400/$200 by signing up for a 2-year subscription to Gamepass Ultimate at $15/month (early termination fees apply)." Which I suspect is not going to be very popular, given all the standalone deals MS has been throwing out there for GPU.
That's crazy. BUT, that's the edge that MS will need to get ahead.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Get the console in peoples hands, get them on gamepass with monthly subs.
They have 10 million subs right now. Let's assume half is NOT paying the monthly and 5 million are paying the minimum $10 a month. That's $50 million a month easy.
