Gaming is extremely important these days, it's as big as the movie industry. 10 years ago things were different.

10 years ago it was as big as the movies too, but it is only from a dollar perspective because a game costs $60 while a seat at a movie costs $12

 

[-Troid-]

My guess:
Series X $500
Series S $400

(Price Drops)
One X $300
One S $200
One SAD $100-150

I think they'll keep the One models around for a bit longer to attract people with the lower price and Gamepass, plus xCloud is based on the One S architecture or something I think?

 

[kingwingin]

I hope they release a $399 series S so all you coupon waving trash dont force my series X to be underpowered

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Nintendo Switch at $300 adds a big wrinkle to the whole gen. Will Sony/MS price at $500, knowing there's a comparable gap in power? Or will they cut closer to Nintendo with a $350-400 console?

 

[Panaphonics]

My bet’s on $500

and *maybe* a Series S at $400.

kinda like how the 360 launched with a basic edition and a premium.

and the Series s will be as powerful as the PS5.

 

[pesaddict]

U.k will shafted as always £550-600

 

[Ar¢tos]

I don't see either Sony or MS going for 400$. Even at 100$ loss, it's not possible to have decent specs. SSD's are significantly more expensive than HDDs, GDDR6 is also much more expensive than GDDR5. Add to that a decent APU of 9tf+ (low balling it).
400$ is not possible, unless you release a mediocre console.

 

[Gek54]

Still don't think this series S lockhart is more than a red herring.

 

[Kdad]

Cheap as chips!!! That's cheaper than Stadia subscription for 5 years!

Not if you paid for 6 years in advance like me.

Just $100 less for a much less powerful series S would be utterly foolish.

The 360 with no HDD could always be upgraded, so let’s compare it to that.

I don't see a point in keeping around an uber cheap Xbox One S or SAD. It's not like these systems are selling well anyway (aside from Black Friday).

 

[Freedom Gate Co.]

They will both be $500, releasing a console with specs that are at least near high PC settings can't be done with just $400.

 

[Väinömäinen]

Not if you paid for 6 years in advance like me.

Ofcourse after those 6 years you can keep playing XBox as long as you like, without having to pay for playing it.
And you can buy another console, instead of paying for a service.

 

[JoeyWestSide]

What if consoles were supposed to be out this year but were going to be 600-700 and was put on hold because they knew there would be outrage so they waited a year, allowed the tech to drop in price and can now sell it next year at 500?

 

[JORMBO]

I’m guessing both consoles will be $450. $500-600 sounds like it would be a much harder sell to mass market. $450 is kind of pushing it.

The good thing is they are BC with previous gen, so people can sell their old hardware to get a little bit knocked off the new one.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Most likely: $499 XSEX, $299 XSES, $499 PS5

Preferred: $399-$499 XSEX, $199 XSES, $450-$499 PS5

 

[Vawn]

People spend 800$ on gpus and phones these day, and by people I mean the mass market. I'll eat my words if the price is anything less than 699$. Don't get me wrong tho. I want it to be cheap because I'm a poor eastern european but I doubt it.

Don't eat a large breakfast. It won't be $700.

 

[Vawn]

I hope they release a $399 series S so all you coupon waving trash dont force my series X to be underpowered

I bet it will be more than just a $100 difference in price. But, make no mistake, the X will still be limited by every game having to run on the S as well.

Console launches are never mass market they are for the core gamer. There will be a price drop once the supply chain kicks in and another for 5nm right around the bend. It makes sense to make a more powerful device that can last longer even if it costs more at first. If it has the horsepower the core gamers will line up. The once the price drops happen so will others.

 

[Smaller than Atom]

$399 or it's DOA. There has been no evidence to support the idea that the market will buy a $500 console, especially when said console is from the last place finisher from the previous generation. Would be a terrible, terrible move if true.

I disagree. Last time the most expensive console was the weakest. They'll both push power this time and hover around 500. That's what made xbox one undesirable. Who would want that. This time it'll be game focused. Wait watch and learn.

 

[Ricioly]

One thing I am sure, next gen consoles will be expensive

 

[OutrageousFacts]

Lockhart has all the same hardware, except the part that matters for resolution.

Lockhart: 1080p
Anaconda: 4k

Stop your dishonest console war rhetoric.

So the S has the "1080 p chip" and the X has the "4k chip"? Am I understanding how hardware works correctly?

Lockhart is said to have the same amount of ram and same cpu as anaconda, just a gpu with less bandwidth, hence 1080p instead of 4k.

Spare us your laughing smilie, fanboy.

 

[Celcius]

I could see $500. I'm wondering when or if current gen consoles will get a price cut though.

599 dollars ? Lol

Not happening. 599 is shoot on the feet.

399(12%)
449(33%)
499(55%)

The point remains: it's the same as Anaconda, except for the parts that are needed for 4k.

Here come the ‘gauging of public reaction’ articles.

[teh_pwn]

X 500
S 250-300

Yup, I think so too. The whole point of the S is to cut costs to get a fuck ton of userbase so its gonna be gimped down to get to mainstream pricing which is $250.

Luckily the Series S will provide a cheaper model. Welcome to inflation

I hope they release a $399 series S so all you coupon waving trash dont force my series X to be underpowered
