November 8th, 550 USD is my predication.

trunkswd1420d ago

I'm going to be bold and say September 17 to launch alongside Cyberpunk 2077 with a price of $499 for the Xbox Series X. If Lockhart (Xbox Series S) is real, I'll say it will launch a little later in early November for $299.

trunkswd1420d ago

@Echo_ the bold part is more of the release date than the price.

I keep seeing people trying to tie Series X to Cyberpunk 2077 in various ways. Yes, you'll be able to play the game on series X via backwards compatibility. Yes, when the updated next gen version of the game releases, you will get that version for free via Smart Delivery. However, they have already said that the upgraded next gen version won't be ready at launch: "However, when it comes to a proper, full-blown next-gen version, that's going to come later, we haven't announced when and I don't have a new comment here on that." https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Given these facts, I don't see why MS would orchestrate the launch of their console to coincide with that game. It almost seems as silly as the debunked theory that Sony was delaying Last of Us 2 to launch alongside PS5. It just doesn't make sense to use a current gen game to push a next gen console just because BC is available.

NeoGamer2321420d ago

I think CDProjekt already announced that Cyberpunk will not release to the new consoles day one.

lalalala1420d ago

Doubt anything will be $299, $499 for the top end sounds plausible with a game.

Tacoboto1420d ago

The same day as the final limited edition Xbox One X? They will not release next-generation's most powerful hardware alongside this generation's third-party swan-song months before Halo is ready.

Gaming4Life19811420d ago

I hope everything you said comes true.

1Victor1420d ago

😂 $499.99 🙄and $2.99.99🤣

silenthillstrangler1420d ago

There is no reason they would launch it alongside cyberpunk as cdpr already stated the series x upgrade won't happen for a while.

It won't be 550.00. 499.99 will be the max.

UnSelf1420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

499.99. Nov release.

russo1211419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

By the specs alone, it won't buy it for less than $699. It has value or it doesn't. 8)

WickedLester1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

@russo121

699.99 would be utter commercial suicide.

Nah - $499.99 USD will likely be the retail price.

TheScotsman1420d ago

Not a pre order page, just an email when info available

gamer78041420d ago

it will probably be 500 , but that SSD expansion card, 100$ maybe?

EasilyTheBest1420d ago

I don't think Microsoft will announce the price until Sony announces theirs. I think they are going to equal or beat the PS5 price.
I be very surprised if Microsoft goes first..

crazyCoconuts1420d ago

Didn't MS say there would be an E3-like presentation they'll put on in June/July? If so I'd bet they announce price then, regardless of what Sony does

UltraNova1420d ago

Nuh, MS will wait for Sony and either match or undercut them. Both will release in late October, early November at or below 500 dollars.

crazyCoconuts1420d ago

What if that Lockheart rumor is true? Does X1X still need to match the PS5 price if they have an even cheaper competitor with Lockheart?

RosweeSon1420d ago

Microsoft don’t announce anything until someone else does when they did (e3 2013) didn’t go very well. They are reactionary rather than revolutionary. They react to others they not the leaders in the fields unless we’re talking money charges and subscriptions and clouds I buy games not clouds 🤷🏻‍♂️🤓 ✌🏻😂

Chris121420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

Funny, how is that logo going for you? And who normally goes first at E3? The kids in this place, jeez

RosweeSon1420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

Chris12 a logo is that all you got I don’t buy based on brands or logos but Nice one.
Shaggy at which point does it say Fact: it’s my personal opinion. Sony announce SSD Microsoft do it. Sony give away games each month, Xbox do eventually But like Rylo Ken said they were first a whole 7 years ago. 😑🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂 Xbox also reduced that price many times removed Kinect and basically winged an entire gen but each to their own. I like to know what I’m buying rather than buying in hope it may come good. Also correct Xbox go first at E3 each year they also don’t really announce an awful lot throughout the entire year so what a surprise they more than happy to talk that once a year come e3 Sony do state of plays throughout the year have their own events with PlayStation experience Nintendo do tree house and directs throughout the year Xbox just does e3 apart from recently they have a new console so we’ve had some trailers and seen the console where’s the Xbox events (when they not launching a new system) don’t hear much other than E3 from Xbox 🤷🏻‍♂️

itsmebryan1420d ago

You for got broadband connection in a game console.

Chocoburger1420d ago

@itsmebryan

SEGA did it first with the Dreamcast broadband adapter.

Chris121420d ago

@RosweeSon - you said MS only announce something after someone else does, and yet we know such much about Series X including how it looks, and you have a logo. And you had no response so you just talk BS and FUD as usual. Nice going buddy.

dumahim1420d ago

I guess this is a downside of not having E3. They can just announce stuff whenever and play games if they want. I mean, they could have before, but it's kind of expected to announce the big stuff at E3.

rainslacker1420d ago

If MS is willing to go to $400, then maybe they'd wait it out. $400 is probably the lowest that Sony will go, so matching it would make sense if they want to compete on price. But I'd sony comes in at $500 MS can still sell for more.

But, chances are, MS has a price point in mind, and that's based on what they feel they need to sell the console for, and what they think demand will allow it to sell for. They don't need to lowball at the start of the gen, and coming in low means less flexibility to reduce the price later.

crazyCoconuts1420d ago

I have this funny image in my head of the MS PR beast rattling it's cage wanting to be unleashed and Phil trying to calm it down to wait just a little longer. All while Sony execs are calmly re-reading Sun Tzu. Seriously though I don't see MS holding back much longer. The PR wants to roll and Phil and team seem pretty confident as usual.

UltraNova1420d ago

They've probably learned by now(probably) that when against Sony you either hit the ground running and keep sprinting to the very end or lose the race, again. That means they have to at least price-match Sony on the get go and pray Sony messes up badly in some way.

rainslacker1420d ago

@crazy

I'd think that, except Spencer seems more than eager to let the MS PR machine roll as quickly as possible.

@Ultra

I don't think they have to beat Sony to be successful. But yeah, if they want to be on par, or close to it, then they at least can't stumble, or worse, fall flat on their face, out of the gate. It can be hard to recover, and if Sony manage to go in without making huge mistakes, or fumbling somewhere along the way, then chances are, they'll stay behind.

I think what MS learned is that trying to beat Sony isn't the best approach. Compete, yes, but instead of going up directly against Sony, promote why their product is unique. Now if they could leave Sony out of their talking when they do that, they'd be good to go.

HyperMoused1420d ago

The price for these things are set months in advance, they would have to be nearing production at this point with an already set price

jairusmonillas1420d ago

Sony can do the same and wait for Microsoft to announce theirs. lol

Neonridr1420d ago

agree with you. No doubt Sony had a few prices in their pockets and once MS announced their price Sony dropped theirs. I see MS doing the same thing. $50 less than the PS5.

Mithan1420d ago

Beat them? No way. Meet them? That wont surprise me.

FyBy1420d ago

Im still curious about price strategy of XSX vs XSS and PS5.
I think MS can do 100 USD higher XSX vs PS5 if XSS is lets say150 USD lower than PS5.
It could be win win for:
1)people on budget without 4K tv
2)people with 4K tv with money

PS5 tries to do both categories. But if PS5 is close to XSX in terms of real power in games, higher price tag will not justify XSX.

XBManiac1420d ago

Microsoft has allways been first to announce... and first to be hit by Sony marketing muscle. Well... maybe they have learned this time, but with what we have seen until now... I doubt.

Nitrowolf21420d ago

I expect their June event where they showcase all the games will probably close with a price tag

rainslacker1420d ago

I think a release date, but they may hold off on the price. But june is a good month to announce price as well

crazyCoconuts1420d ago

What's your guess on Lockheart? Is it real and if so are they announcing that this month?

rainslacker1420d ago

Can't say. Things like that I don't like to speculate on without more substantial evidence. I think they'll push towards the X1X as a base model though, just to have a low entry point model. Within a few years, the tech in it will be fairly inexpensive to make.

FlyGuyHung1420d ago

Take my money!!!!
I wonder how much the trade-in value for my One X and Pro will be given that they came out later in the cycle. Any guesses?

NotoriousWhiz1420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

$200 each, but only if the money goes to the purchase of a new console.

RosweeSon1420d ago

Sell it yourself and cut out the middle man get more money. Or wait for a £1 max fees on eBay ;)

XBManiac1420d ago

129$ for each with one controller... But, why change? One X and Pro have a long live yet unless you want limited backwards compatibility or you have no games to play from this gen.

You do understand that EVERY company on the planet does this? Announces the product before the price.
Grow up

Neonridr1420d ago

a powerful console with actual 1st party games and a bunch of 3rd party ones? Sounds good to me as a gamer.

DJStotty1420d ago

Problem is Sampsonon, we know exactly what we are getting when pre-ordering the series X,

We know what the console looks like
We know what the controller looks like
We know the specs of the console
We know games will look better than they do now.

What more would you like to know?

sampsonon1420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

What exclusive xbox games will you be getting sir? Will it be A-AA or will they kinda give you a couple AAA games like this gen? Will they be going for quantity like they said they would, or quality like they neglected to do this gen? Thanks

I don't have to question Sony and it's ability to pump out AAA game after AAA game.

sampsonon1420d ago

@TFJWM

They've been so used to not having enough Qulity AAA games they don't even put it on a list of things to expect.
MS has trained them well.

DJStotty1420d ago

@Sampsonon

"I don't have to question Sony and it's ability to pump out AAA game after AAA game."

Sorry how many PS4 exclusives has there been this year so far? How long have you been waiting for GOT and Last of us 2?

@TFJWM/sampsonon

Xbox exclusive (not on other consoles) games so far, and before we see the main 1st party presentation :-

Halo Infinite
Hellblade 2
Scorn
The medium
Call of the Sea
The Ascent
Second Extinction

It was on my list when i said "We know games will look better than they do now."

7 games there for you chaps

Invector Rhythm Galaxy | LifeIsXbox Review

LifeIsXbox says: "nvector Rhythm Galaxy is the perfect follow-up to an already perfect rhythm game. Its eye-popping visuals light up my living room as its bass lines make my teeth chitter in pure glee. This game makes me happy and that is probably the best praise I can think of.

I don’t foresee ever removing this from my hard-drive and it’ll be the go-to game to play against friends on the couch for many, many years to come! "
