The prices outside of US is insane. £700 is ridiculous for a console which has essentially a low tier, mid range GPU. And its not even that better speccced than a regular PS5. If it had double or more performance (raster) and even more RT performance I could maybe see it.

To add insult to injury they don't even include a disk drive. Nor a Pro controller. I guess this is what you get when Microsoft essentially exits the console business, in the traditional sense anyways.

What do you consider low tier mid range?

- "67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother."

- double to triple Ray tracing performance

- AI driven upscaling

They spent 18 months on research and development on it, they want it to at least make back it's money.

That's relatively small. A lot of these projects take several years.

And they're selling it at a high price. 

I'm not saying they don't need it to sell at all, just that they probably only "need" it to sell like a million.
