Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S release date and price finally revealed

Microsoft is set to hold a press event soon to showcase the next-gen console pricing, and it's pretty familiar.

Controlled leak, that’s all. The ball is now on SOONY’s ™ court.

SOON is a trademark of SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LLC

Considering that the radeon GPU equivalent to the PS4 was 200 bucks and the console was 400, yep, a 5700xt, considering the shock made by the RTX, should cost 250 bucks right now

That means that PS5 disc could be also 500, discless 450.

 

[On Demand]

Anything coming from Sam Brands is a controlled leak.

Exactly. People really think this is a leak and wasn't on purpose? This is to draw out Sony and make them respond.

Sony isn't dumb though. Remember that this "leak" is not from MS. The official announcement from them could magically be a different price.

This is the most obvious bait in the entire fucking world.

I think Sony should go as low on price as they're willing to go and call it a day.

This is the most obvious bait in the entire fucking world.

Bait for what? Price war is over, $499 and $299 just like most have been predicting since the XSX was announced. Now we just have to wait and see where Sony is at, $499/$399 or $399/$350, etc.

Nice to see them continuing with the 0% interest financing, or negative interest since you save $20 with the 24 month option. Wonder how tiny the new 1S is, I assume it will be $199.

Waiting for timdogg to tweet the series S will be equal to, if not stronger than, a ps5.

Sony reaction

The lowest they can go is 399/450

I expect 499 for the disc version.

[Three Jackdaws]

Curious what changes these are?

 

[Entroyp]

Why even ask Arthur Gies (He/She)for anything related to Sony lol.

That guy is still around?

 

[danielJackson]

You could argue that the kid will say "I want the new Xbox" and the parent will see the XSS or maybe both and will get the one that is cheaper.

Kid wanting xbox instead of Playstation, must be an american thing.

Here kids just play stupid mobile games and get fucked up fingers by next 10 years or have Playstation for fortnite/minecraft.

Few days ago I talked with friends 12 and 9 year olds when visited him and asked what consoles their friends have. None had xbox and I asked why. They just laughed and said something about how uncool and "stupid" it is

 

[On Demand]

So the increased specs is true?

Nevermind just realized who that is. lol.

 

[Knitted Knight]

We really gonna look at Gies for Sony info? are we that thirsty?

Yes....

 

[pixelguy]

What does that even mean? Has changed to what?
Less/More power for lower/higher price?

Who is that guy?
Besides his twitter bio? What is his history in "wrong leaks"

 

[Entroyp]

Who is that guy?

A pretentious prick who became famous for Kissing MS ass so hard during the Xone/PS4 launch he became the laughing stock of the community.

 

[TwistedSyn]

I keep forgetting this fuck wit exists.

Short version: Warrior slayed by PS4 and its exclusives.

[jose4gg]

Pronouns in his name not his bio, and just a simple (he/him)...

Yep, I don't trust this guy and his need for attention.

And the fact the he got everything wrong last time around.

 

[Anchovie123]

499$ confirmation of the Series X is one step closer to the PS5DE 399$ dream. Sony LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Maybe... you will be able to play multiplayer games without Gold? (if you have Gamespass)

 

[MasterCornholio]

499$ confirmation of the Series X is one step closer to the PS5DE 399$ dream. Sony LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bloomberg reported a very similar BOM for both consoles. I can definitely see that happening.

Unless Microsoft leaked this because they know Sony can't go that low. Making Sony fans expect similar prices only to get hit with a higher price tag. This is definitely a possibility.

Mr Secret Sauce

When 1Up went defunct, he was a roommate of one of the GFW guys and parlayed his hanger on status into a senior position at Polygon. He's always been insufferable.

They did the same before the Road to PS5 presentation. They released the XsX specs so people would be disappointed, and many were.

Of course then we saw the games and MS can’t seem to get that right

Oh, and craig of course

 

[jose4gg]

Neh, but I can see paying Gamepass giving more things than games, free dynamic themes, better priority in online matchmaking, private serves, something like that...

 

[hemo memo]

This pretty much confirm that a PS5 event is not before October. Microsoft this month and the month already packed.

 

[Zoro7]

Well ugliest console of all time award goes to the Series S if that’s the actual design.

 

[thurnishaleygw]

I definitely don't like Microsoft's design language in either console, specially on Series S, but 299$ is very good value paired with Gamepass. Personally I'm not interested in Series S, but I can see quite some people buying one.

Really curious to see Sony's pricing strategy with both consoles in response to this.

 

[hemo memo]

Of all time? Salty/fanboy much? It a cheap 299$ console. The PS3 was more hideous when revealed and that console cost 599$.

youtubers on this moment...

Hey, eat one snickers, is ugly for him, it's his opinion...

80% of them using the line "you heard it here first"

His opinion is stupid. Atari consoles say hi.

I will definitely buy a PS5 on day one. But I guess I will hide it as much as possible.
Tastes are different...

 

[Chun Swae]

Mind you without a deliberately weaker Series S to throw everyone off balance. The Flagship Xbox is coming in at 499 AGAIN, just like the Xbox One/One X while the PS5 will come in at 399 again. Mark my words. Xbox also had the One S and One S Digital this generation and it did not change their fate. This is just a repeat with a fresh coat of paint. I'm sure they'll sell out at launch just like the One did, but 3 months in sales will crater with no games to play.

 

[Zheph]

Huge effort on the prices from MS if that's confirmed, hopefully things should move fast now if this isn't fake bait

 

[jose4gg]

His opinion is stupid. Atari consoles say hi.

Ok, I tried to calm the waters, but remember what you said? Salty/Fanboy much?

 

[FranXico]

Has anyone noticed this? Price is estimated.

 

[devilNprada]

I also don't like the PS5... My living room isn't space age enough for it.

 

[Vae_Victis]

Wait, what? Why does it have a huge ass frontal grid, AND a huge ass top grid? Why not just put one of them behind, and why are they so close to one another?

The design of this thing disturbs me, it's so tall and thin, I feel like it going to topple over at any moment.

I think it's weird but maybe with time it will look better, I want to see the material, I like the matte on the XSX, hopefully it looks great on white. The controller looks 100 times better than the black option.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

I think Microsoft is going to capture the market share completely from Sony next gen. I mean look at those prices, $299 for Series S and $499 for Series X which has the tflop advantage and touted as the most powerful console ever, like what does the competition have besides faster SSD and higher I/o and better first party output? Microsoft will market their console as the most powerful console for third party games. Sony's silence on PS5 is actually making me a bit worried right now

 

[xacto]

Come on Cerny, has 3000 pages I want to see disassembly ...

Now this is the content we all deserve!

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Yeah, it seems all these "leaks" were pretty much intentional
