Lockhart confirmed :’(
Im just flabbergasted at how every year we have people predicting $600 for a console after the PS3. No one in their right mind would charge that price again for a console. Not a chance. I mean, how many times do we have to be proven wrong on this thing. It's literally $499 or bust!
Exactly what I've been saying all along. CPU and storage will have the most impact.
All this 'Lockhart is going to hold back the Series X' talk is from people who don't know how engines scale and what they scale most on.
As I've said in other threads, I don't think power is going to play as a significant part in the console war between MS and Sony as everyone thinks. Content and experiences will. While imo Sony has a significant leg up with their 1st party offering and 3rd part relationships ( specifically devs in Japan), MS's game-pass has the potential to change the landscape dramatically, especially if they can get some more big name AAA games and indies on the service.
It wouldn't surprise me if the XBSX has a month of gamepass bundled in with every system.
In a perfect world the system would be $499.99 at most but with the leaked/rumored specs, I'm fearing/preparing for $550-599.

I agree but not as big as $499 vs $599.You might be right, but I saw Matt from resetera post about data that was taken that says power played a huge part this past generation when deciding which console to buy.
My thing has always been this. The more advantages Microsoft can have it will only be better for them.....obviously.
If it turns out to be 9 vs 12 that’s a pretty big deal.
If it's 12, then it's 600, imoYou might be right, but I saw Matt from resetera post about data that was taken that says power played a huge part this past generation when deciding which console to buy.

Investing in their future.They can take a hit, it’s called investing
They will need be aggressive and do such things.They can take a hit, it’s called investing
Or they are not done with the specs, they really don't want it to go in the wild yet.14tf dev kit would indicate a 12tf consumer console. Do any of the PC enthusiast guys here know what kind of GPU the 14tf dev kit would be using? I didn’t know there was a 14tf GPU out in early 2019.
Remember Dev kits are going to be higher spec...

I personally don't care about price if it's packed full of power but I'm hardcore.
It would "help" a bit.How about if its 12 TF's at $32 a month for 36 months?
$32 a month gets you an XSX, Game Pass and Xbox Live.
There are literally 100's of games on GP and every 1st party game day one.

The 14TF dev kit is the Final SOC with all CU's activated.14tf dev kit would indicate a 12tf consumer console. Do any of the PC enthusiast guys here know what kind of GPU the 14tf dev kit would be using? I didn’t know there was a 14tf GPU out in early 2019.
You're right about the credit checks but for people that already have a credit card they could simply charge your credit card $32 a month. Amazon can already do this. For people with good credit and people that already have credit cards this would be great.It would "help" a bit.
Doing payments requires credit checks etc..
That would likely alienate most that would go that route no?
