If these leaks are accurate then yeah it looks like we're getting a very expensive PC box catering to enthusiasts rather than a mass market product. https://www.purexbox.com/news/2025/10/xbox-magnus-leak-suggests-next-console-will-be-powerful-expensive-and-maybe-a-hybrid-device In this economy, such a device will be a tough sell. They probably figure that only their most diehard followers will stick with them, so they may as well get as much money from this small pool as possible. With both this and the next Playstation now strongly rumoured for 2027, it's looking like the next generation indeed coming up fast, which feels weird as it seems like PS5/Xbox Series only just came out due to the extended crossgen period. |
If its marketed as a real pc, that can do anything a pc can....
Its not really expensive.
How much do pre-build PCs with these performance levels costs if you buy them?
Its probably not unreasonable to ask for like 900-1200$, alot of PC's can easily cost you that or more.
The thing is to not market it as a game console.... you need to repeatly point out, that it's not just a game console again and again.
Instead of TV,TV,TV,Sports,TV....
It will be "plays a game", "word" ,"excel" ,"remote work" ,"school work" ,"browse the internet with comfort", "Plays a game again" ect.
Otherwise the value aspect falls apart.
*edit: Supposedly this could be like 5080 level of GPU performance. Those card on a PC side, aren't cheap.
Honestly it could easily be over 1000$ and still be a good buy if these specs are real. |
5080 in raster. Much more in RT. Which is really not that crazy when you think of it, if RDNA5 is as good as it's rumoured to be, and apparently it is.
