Technology - Microsoft Will Hold Xbox Series X Event Soon In July

Xbox Series X might not be cheaper than PS5

Wait a minute! The latest reports from the Xbox Series X had revealed to us that the new Xbox console (to be released in November ’20) will be much cheaper than Sony PS5. This information is derived from a Reddit user Dusk Golem. He claims to have been hearing insider information.  He claimed that not only the Xbox Series X will be more powerful than PS5 but also “Microsoft is ready to lowball Sony when it comes to price” of its console.

A more powerful and cheap console? This sounds absurd and weird and difficult to believe. And it is!! As a piece of newly leaked information has slapped this news on its face.

@THTHEREDDRAGON falsified the information shared by Dusk Golem

Alanah Pearce, the most renowned and respected gaming industry writer, actor, and host (@THTHEREDDRAGON) stated the info given by Dusk Golem to be false. Alanah stated that she was sent a picture of the Xbox Series X’s price from a source. This Xbox Series X was with a retailer and the price was exactly $599 on August 15, 2020.

Will the price for Xbox Series X will be the same as PS3?

And $599 doesn’t sound cheap at all!! It is a huge amount to be asked. It is as high as it was in the case of PS3 launch in the United States. And that went equally bad in the case of PS3.

The price of the PS3 was so high that it lost the market in terms of launch sales. Microsoft won huge money by its console generation.

Now, if it’s true and if Microsoft is going to offer an unrealistically low bid than Sony for its console’s price. Then will Sony’s PS5 is going anywhere out of its retail shops?? That doesn’t sound right. Why would Sony do that when it has happened to it before in the case of PS3.

Will the backward compatibility work on PS5 Technology

Well, Sony wouldn’t do that unless it’s for console gen seppuku. If this condition is to be removed. It can be done on 3 conditions.

1. The price theory of $599 is false and Xbox Series X will lounge for less than that.

2. The Xbox Series X and the PS5 will cost almost the same, be it $599 or more.

3. Xbox Series X will be costlier than PS5 and not cheaper.

Is it possible for Xbox Series X to be launched at a price higher than PS5?

Yes, it depends. It all depends on how much power the console is. So, the possibility is there that even if PS5 will be for $499, Xbox Series X will be launched at $599.

Microsoft needs to retrieve this decision. Xbox Series X will possibly help in this case. To have a console launched and sold at a skyrocketing price won’t help any. However, the readers should take this newly leaked information with a pinch of salt. It’s because the release dates and prices are still not out. And all that is happening around is speculation. The official price list for PS5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X, PS5, and Xbox Series S will arrive soon.
