They have the stacks for it. Not saying that what they'll do but they certainly have the stacks. I think it'll be between $400 and $500. No more. Folks saying $600 to $700 haven't been paying attention at all.
He also said they won't be out priced our ouout powered by Sony again. His unlocked spread, he said the have room to be flexible with price. It legit sounds like they could potentially hit $400 if they needed to.
An pro elite controller ... a piece of niche .
Meh, I don't think so. Theirs is an industry I don't see taking a big hit from all this because the products and services are necessary all the time. Even in a pandemic and economic crisis.
You mean where the resolution was changed to between 1080p and 2k to do the benchmark on the Xbox series x? Because during gameplay, the framerate was not near the 2080 ti. Especially since they used a non gaming cpu paired with the 2080 ti. Also it's the only part they never captured on camera. Disingenuous to say the least?
You do it the for long game. Reclaim your fanbase in US and Europe with a powerful, affordable box. Use GP to keep them within the ecosystem. Hence the acqusitions of studios to keep making games. If that's their plan its smart. And would make things super interesting next gen.

OK I didn't know that,which explains why it looked like it was matching the 2080 ti.
You're still missing the point. Their whole end game is the ecosystem. GP. That's a line of revenue that keeps on giving. The more subscriptions, the more they make each and every month. Their all ready past the 10+ million bracket (I think that's them down playing those numbers too. GP is always advertised as "Over 100, when its really over 250 games) it might be worth it to them to take the loss as they'll make more money through GP in the long run.
Foxconn is actually Taiwanese. Its "Made in China by Taiwan".
They never make money in hardware. How much do you think your average Xbox user spends in buying games and dlcs for his Xbox ? Xbox is still a very profitable branch of Microsoft making around 10 billion a year.
Still no dice. I'm looking to buy a not made by or in China console.
No, there is still a large market at sub 400 that Lockhart would target. J ust look at how many consoles are sold at 399 vs. lower. Sub 399 is like 75 % of the market.

Nope, MS doesnt make even a billion dollars frm Xbox.Once XSX hits, I don't expect them to do hard promotions on Game Pass anymore. That happens now to keep their current customers locked into the ecosystem. I have three years stacked up, I wouldn't switch if I wanted to. Similar to Spotify or Netflix you will not get Game Pass deals unless you have never used the service, I am certain of that.
I am not taking this news seriously. 10 million consoles * 100$ loss = 1 billion $. you can develop 20 AAA games using that money. This loss is bigger than Xbox's profit margins from their best years.
Microsoft is least interested in attracting Playstation customers. 100 million PS owners are minuscule compared to 1.3 billion PC gamers ( even this no is widely under-representing PC ). PC gamers are mostly frm developing countries who want cheaper console and even cheaper games. Lockhardt and Gamepass is the way for MS.
One X was a console targeting enthusiasts. It is in no way indicative of XSX pricing. Xbox One would have launched at 399 if t wasn't for Kinect.
