Xbox Series X: Launching Holiday 2020 according to Xbox website [Up: MS says error, but committed to Holiday 2020]

[Nax]

I highly doubt they mean ON Thanksgiving, but around that time as in the week of Thanksgiving

Click to shrink...

Yeah, this.

 

[WestEgg]

I'm more surprised by a firm commitment to 2020.

 

[DocH1X1]

Day 1 for 12.1 babeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I really like this confidence, feels like forever since Microsoft was unapologetically leading the way.

 

[xxracerxx]

Dope. Hope it isn't actually on the day as I would hope people would have the day off.

 

[naitosan]

Now when we can pre order this beast? I have over $700 worth of gift cards in my Amazon account.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This is likely a typo (as far as the exact date, its obviously holidays 2020).

Its saying Dec 2020 on the US website apparently.

Mods need to edit that title before more heart attacks lol

 

[Darknight]

Come on guys, it likely means right before Thanksgiving. Not literally on Thanksgiving day.

 

[m23]

Hype!

 

[Ashhong]

Lol there is no way they are releasing on specifically Thanksgiving day. None.

 

[vatstep]

Xbox 360 came out 11/22, two days before Thanksgiving. I'm guessing this will be similar. Launching on Black Friday would be rough.

 

[GK86]

Let me preorder, you cowards.

 

[Master Chuuster]

So now we know Halo's release date

 

[Ryan.]

Slightly off topic but I just got thinking of this with the release date, but if MS releases a Series X Bundle with Halo Infinite and that code for Infinite is a Play Anywhere code, then this is a day 1 for me.

 

[Armadilo]

Damn they aren't scared, they are going for it.

 

[zedox]

Sure, it can be around Thanksgiving...

 

[Andrei Rublev]

This is absolutely not launching on Thanksgiving Day. It'll launch on the Tuesday before.

 

[Murdock]

Most powerful console ever made and turkey day?! Day fucking one!

 

[Deleted member 1003]

Hoping for those Black Friday sales eh? Literally on Thanksgiving.

 

[defaltoption]

3 days before the ol birthday, expected October but hey I'm all in

 

[asd202]

LMAO.

 

[carlsojo]

OOOOOO
Lord black Friday is going to be a nightmare

 

[ghibli99]

I'm sure it's the 'week of' Thanksgiving, probably starting the weekend prior or that Tuesday.

Nah, US site says Thanksgiving now

I doubt that's literal because launching a console on Thanksgiving day, or even Black Friday, would be absolute chaos. They're probably using Thanksgiving 2020 as another way of saying Holiday 2020. Week before makes more sense.

Thats the biggest thing.

The superior Thanksgiving /s

Let me in on that pre-order.

 

[ethanradd]

Finally getting this and booting it up for the first time will be magical, held off on the One X, still on the OG Xbox One, can't imagine the jump in visuals

 

[Delusibeta]

I don't think Microsoft will launch literally on Thanksgiving (don't forget, this is the Indian version of the website), but I think we can pencil in "late November 2020" as the release date.

As I've said elsewhere, Microsoft is using power, not exclusives, to sell this console, so they won't be as affected by COVID-19 causing software delays compared to Sony. The hardware supply chain should hopefully be back to normal by the summer (assuming a second COVID-19 flare up doesn't happen in China).

 

[UltimateHigh]

halo infinite beta when

 

[LightKiosk]

So now we know Halo's release date

Exactly what I thought of. Perfect game to play during that long weekend, but I have a feeling XBL is gonna get absolutely slammed.

 

[swimming]

Halo Infinite at launch too? fingers crossed

 

[TheUnseenTheUnheard]

Dude wtf?

That's insane.

 

[GattsuSama]

I am in day 1. I just need to be able to get a preorder.

Any news for the preorders?

 

[Snake__]

Thanksgiving day would be insane, I'm guessing the Tuesday or Friday before

maybe for pre orders then hold stock til Black Friday / thanksgiving day

 

[Technesis]

Shots just keep on coming.

 

[Trevelyon]

Slightly off topic but I just got thinking of this with the release date, but if MS releases a Series X Bundle with Halo Infinite and that code for Infinite is a Play Anywhere code, then this is a day 1 for me.

They are extremely forwarding thinking at this point, this wouldn't surprise me at all. Customers will definitely have a wide variety of options I think when it comes to Infinite.

 

[Anth0ny]

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

I kinda doubt it with corona v fucking everything up but here's hoping!

 

[WordsintheWater]

I'm in, wonder when pre-orders will go up.

 

[renegade_sylens]

where does it say Nov 26? I don't see it on the website. All it says is Holiday Thanksgiving 2020...

 

[Fredrik]

world-wide?

 

[gogojira]

In.

 

[Citizencope]

Can I just download it?

 

[TheUnseenTheUnheard]

Why is the date up?

Now we just need the price and the games.

 

[Raide]

Gimme Dat Pre-Order Date!

 

[NinjaScooter]

Will retailers even be open then?

 

[isahn]

XBOX <3 PS

 

[ThatMeanScene]

RIP family Thanksgivings gatherings this year (for Xbox fans).

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

I read that as "Thanksgiving holiday season". It never occurred to me until this thread that it would actually launch on Thanksgiving Day.

I bet it's the Friday before.

 

[V0ltg]

Microsoft out for blood.

 

[Swiggins]

This console reveal cycle has been ridiculously weird

No kidding, shit is just wild.
