If this is true, it's pretty baffling how MS doesn't understand the concept of a sweet-spot when it comes to console pricing. No core gamer wants a next gen console to be too cheap, they want the best hardware possible at a tolerable price. Most people will expect them to be between $399 and $499 and historically, $599 or more hasn't worked out that great for any console. If this is all true MS will have 2 consoles, one is too expensive for the masses and the other will feel too compromised and cheap, especially when the comparison videos will start popping up and the Series S versions have trouble maintaining a decent framerate and looks like a blurry stain compared to the ps5 version.
I'm also sure we won't be seeing 4k and 60fps as standard next gen. The X1X and ps4 pro weren't designed to be a next gen console, they were meant as a 4k version of current gen consoles and for the vast majority a higher fps/ resolution wasn't worth the upgrade. These next gen consoles will be about a leap in overall visual fidelity and developers will likely target 30fps/1440p (maybe even 1080p) for most AAA titles. Native 4k/60fps (or even 8k/120fps lol) would be a gigantic waste of resources and we would practically be playing the same games we're playing now.
