This long wait for the price of your new console to drop means that the ball will inevitably roll in different places when you want to or not. And that’s why we’ve got promotional material before announcing the Xbox Series S, and why we have all the locations, from Pringles, to why the Xbox Series X is priced. The company is hosting a competition for the new Xbox Series X in South Africa, and a keen Twitter user saw a nice print to find out what both the number of consoles and the estimated value of this console for it included. There’s a lot in the air on this, but let’s take a look.
We have seen leaks of this nature before, trying to reduce the price with the estimated cost of the total prize pool. But there were some more warnings, including the cost of the controller and Halo Infinity Not really properly accounted for, and with a very clear disclaimer that cost estimate is not final. This is a more accurate and closer price to the time that the price is supposed to be final. There is again a disclaimer, based on the fact that the value of the prize may change before the product is released. As many people have theorized, the prices on this console are probably not final yet.
But with a bit of quick math, it will cost each individual Xbox Series XR 13,500, which, according to Google, translates to 815 x 15 lbs. Don’t worry, we don’t have a 15 815 console. This is not a potential final price in terms of the US dollar or the South African rand, as it does not include taxes and the like. Critical Hit argues that this translates to 11 611, so it may be pointing to something like the price of 9599 in the UK, and probably the same in terms of US dollars. Again, we are becoming purposefully ambiguous here, as taxes and other variations in international prices mean we will never look at 1: 1 in terms of currency conversions or simple numbers.
It’s a little circuit! More commonly taken which does not involve punching numbers in the calculator, this also only prepares us for more numbers than we expected. As a rule, people are looking at end 499 as low end and 9 599 as these low end for these things. 9599 would be a lot, but Microsoft could fit the price of its high-end console more intelligently as it will also offer a lower priced Series S.
While we do not yet have an official number from Microsoft .ft, we know that the final price of the Xbox Series X will be influenced by many factors. The main thing in this is the cost of making, which people previously estimated somewhere between 460- $ 520. This means that once you take the factor into marketing, shipping and other logistics and the $ 599 console will either sell for a small loss or make a profit, it means a 499 console will sell for a loss. Given the huge impact Microsoft has on subscriptions and services for the future of its gaming business, it may not be so concerned about making a profit from hardware at this time.
The other major factor, however, is the price of the PS5. Microsoft .ft isn’t fixing this thing in a vacuum, and no one has been able to forget the sting of defeat since the PS4 came in at $ 100 under the Xbox One. This is the essence of the “price chicken” game that both companies are playing: everyone wants to know what the other person will do to get a better shot at matching or undercutting, and so neither wants to go first. It is also possible that neither company has committed to a final price as they are both waiting to announce each other.
Meanwhile, one company seems to have come up with the next type of general pricing plan: Nvidia, which has priced its Series X and PS5-rival 3070 graphics cards at 499. Which, if both or both consoles come in at 99 599, it starts to look better than it does now.
We’ll see what happens … this month, maybe? We have gone through this stage for a very long time, where the price and release dates of these machines were expected, so now is just a mystery. Both of these consoles will likely sell on pre-order, giving companies an unusual degree of relief. To open it, however, they do not need to tell us what the price of the console is.
