In the battle PS5 vs Xbox Series X, the price will play a significant role. A leak has now shown a possible price for the Xbox Series X S model.
Where do the information come from? MSPowerUser was the first to draw attention to the leak. However, the information did not originate from the site itself, but from the Chinese site mydriver.com. There, the possible price for the new console from Microsoft appeared.
Furthermore, it is explained that Microsoft would soon officially demonstrate the performance of the new console. Specifically, it concerns the ray tracing technology of the AMD chip, which was to be presented at this year’s AMD Financial Analyst Conference.
What is the price? According to the Chinese site, the price is said to be around 300 dollars. The source suggests that the price refers to the weaker S variant of the Xbox Series X.
Xbox Series X at a competitive price – what’s included in the price
The competitive price of 300 dollars refers to the S model of the Xbox Series X, which is the possible new entry-level model of Microsoft’s new console.
An argument for the low price would be that if Microsoft does not include a fast 4K Blu-ray drive in the inexpensive version, then the price could decrease accordingly.
This approach is most comparable to the current Xbox One S All-Digital Edition:
- This is the cheapest variant of the current Xbox generation and offers the same performance as the Xbox One S.
- The Digital Edition, however, does not come with a 4K Blu-ray drive.
- Games can therefore only be downloaded, the multimedia function is limited in use.
Whether there will be an All Digital Edition for the Xbox Series X is still unknown.
With the price, the Xbox Series X could still have an advantage against the direct competition. Just with the presentation of the performance of the Xbox Series X, excitement was already generated.
Many users are now waiting for similar announcements from Sony. But so far the manufacturer remains silent, while Microsoft shares information.
Xbox vs PS5 – Price will be crucial
Already a survey on Twitter showed that for many users the price in console choice will play an important role. And also our users have clear views on how much money they would spend at most on Microsoft’s competition.
If Microsoft really offers its new Xbox this cheaply, then for Sony the price of its own console could become a problem.
Would you buy the new Xbox Series X for around 300 euros and give up the drive? Are you pure gamers or do you also use your console for multimedia?
