Mak s nobsense to me that they know people don't like 500 dollar consoles and they go and build one for that price? Quickly going over the price during the presentation because he knew. But why? |
I assume you're talking about the Xbox One X?
- They'd probably sell it at a huge loss if it was at $399
- $499 for a brand new console (Xbox One) and $499 for simply a more powerful version of a console 4 years into the generation (Xbox One X) isn't really compareable IMO. If $499 for the XB1X is too steep you can just get the XB1s at half the price, your games will just output at a lower resolution and wont look as good. Even at $399 it wouldn't have set the world on fire when you can play the same games on a $249 console, it still would only appeal to the hardcore gamers, at $499 it just does that even more so.
Consoles like the PS4Pro and XB1X are simply never gonna set the world on fire when you can play the same games at a lower resulation and worse graphic for much cheaper ($150+). The PS4Pro accounts for 20% of PS4s sold since it's release and that's more than fine, and the XB1X will probably account for about 15% of XB1 consoles sold once it's out, and that's also fine.

I don't think 15% of what XB1 is currently selling is enough though.
