When it comes to new consoles, there is something that many take into account in addition to their video game catalog. What do we mean? Well at its price, and the Xbox Series X is no exception.
Since the new system of MicrosoftPlayers have wondered how much it will cost. This data has not been revealed yet. But there is an analyst who predicts a price as low as $ 400.
Xbox Series X could be more accessible than the PS5
Is about Michael Patcherof the firm Wedbush Securities. He has spent years analyzing the video game industry, and occasionally, his predictions come true.
He was one of the guests on the broadcast Bonus Round, chaired by Geoff Keighley, and what followed after Inside Xbox from a few days ago. In addition to Keighley and Patcher, They were present Aaron Greenberg and Peter Moore. There he shared his opinion of the system.
This is how the physical games of Xbox Series X will look
‘Microsoft is being pretty smart by waiting here for Sony’he started by saying Patcher. Then he stated ‘From what I've seen, Sony will have to charge $ 500 for its PS5, and Microsoft has a great balance sheet…’.
Here it should be noted that it is not yet known how much the Playstation 5. They are only estimates by this analyst, but it does not sound crazy that such a price has. Especially for the type of technology it involves.
Could it really cost around $ 400 dollars?
What of 'balance sheet' sounds like room for maneuver. That is Microsoft can make adjustments to the price of Xbox Series X. ‘If they want to cut the price by $ 100, just go down and subsidize the first ten million.’ declared Michael Patcher.
Certainly, that path could be followed, although that would imply an initial loss for the company. It would be a matter of seeing if you are willing to face a risk of such magnitude.
Patcher also commented "So, I think they are waiting for Sony to make their move first, and then they will reveal the price and release date.", which sounds like an ingenious strategy.
Then he added ‘It's going to be a holiday, maybe sometime in November, most likely $ 400.’. He finished saying ‘And the fans are going to get a lot for their $ 400 dollars’. Will what this analyst says be fulfilled? We will have to see it.
