1TB SSD, that's at least a 3rd of the cost of the entire console. Considering it gets the same RAM and CPU, that seems too much. But the current SAD also has 1TB. Larger indeed not likely. Perhaps storage sold separately, who knows.

Also this extra version could impact availability of the big boy now the corona virus is affecting production. It might be better to postpone Lockhart. I imagine early adopters won't be interested in a 4Tf version.

If MS has an idea of the size of games at the moment, it's possible 500GB could be viable. I am no expert but maybe due to the significantly faster CPU and storage, developers could utilize compression while still allowing games to load faster. Either they do that or potentially take a hit on storage space.

Having a significantly cheaper Lockhart on the market could also increase the the number of early adopters. I mean it will play 9th gen games and is a significant upgrade over base consoles, so it will still be impressive for the average 8th gen user.

The console won't have any exclusives for 2 years, and 3rd party games most likely will launch most games on the old generation too.

The X is as powerful as the series S, most xbox fans already have the X, they won't see many reasons to upgrade. Most other gamers are saving for a real next gen upgrade, most people would just pay 450 for a ps5 which most likely will have real exclusives not on PC or PS4, probably GT7 at launch.

No one bothers on saving 100-150 dollars when games will be almost 70 each, most people these days have phones that cost at least 500 dollars.

Thats like saying people would just buy a ps4 pro for 300dollars with a game, because budget. People who are ready to upgrade to next gen will not care much about price as long as its not over 500 dollars for base.
