The Xbox One X is on everyone’s lips after the announcement at the E3 2017. “The most powerful console in the world,” as Microsoft describes it, could become a bestseller on Amazon.
The Xbox One X will be released worldwide on November 7, 2017, and was perhaps the biggest topic at the world’s largest gaming fair, E3. Some even speculate that the Xbox is back. Statistics on Google confirm this.
It feels like decades have passed since the Xbox generated similar interest as the PlayStation, but now it is happening again: the Xbox is once again a hot topic in search interest. Yes, the Xbox One X is being searched for on the search engine more frequently than the PS4 Pro at the time it was announced.
Are many people looking to buy the Xbox One X?
This interest seems to be translating to Amazon as well. Whether on Amazon.de, Amazon.uk, or Amazon.com – the same picture everywhere: The Xbox One X is the most wished-for product in the “Games” category.
This data comes from various shopping lists of Amazon users. While it does not equate to a purchase, it is at least an indicator.
This is indeed surprising, especially since Microsoft has not announced any AAA exclusive titles yet. Only titles like Sea of Thieves or State of Decay 2 are currently on the release list.
Exclusive titles are actually an important reason to buy for many players, perhaps the biggest after performance and the “my friends have this console too” factor. Innovative approaches, like those found with the Switch, are sadly lacking in the Xbox One X. The sheer power and the performance of the console take center stage.
Xbox One X – High interest in pre-orders according to Google
If you take a look at Google Trends, when combined with the search term “Xbox One X,” pre-orders are by far the most popular choice.
The interest is thus linked to a clear purchase intention. The interest goes beyond mere curiosity about the specs of the next-gen console or how many exclusive titles Xbox One has.
The nearly €500 seems like a hefty price for a console at first glance, but as shown in the following video, the Xbox One X is indeed fairly priced. Microsoft even claims that the Xbox One X is a loss-making venture. The real money comes from games, according to Xbox head Phil Spencer. So far, it is also assumed that the Xbox One X will primarily appeal to enthusiasts looking for a premium product.
