Make a more powerful/feature rich machine,include Halo Infinity and charge the same price as PS5.
I want stacked $600+ to make consoles as in both(I plan to buy both) that sell at a loss $500?
Halo will be on GP day 1. The series X is looking like it will be the most powerful, and more feature-rich.
But cost will be an issue, hence the Lockhart.
Looks like Sony is splitting things right down the middle with a strong machine, but a cheaper price.
You can’t have the most powerful and be cheapest at the same time in a single system.
So you either make an expensive, strong system AND a weaker cheaper system that both play the same games (and come with GP for a limited time), or you split the difference, make one system, and try to squeeze everything you can out of that system, while still keeping a $400 price point.
There is room for all 3 big companies to be successful, and I’m sure they will be. But if all the rumors are true, I expect MS to get a significantly greater number of users next gen compared to this one. They need that increase more than Sony or Nintendo anyways.
Many including me care less about Gamepass.
We don't know who offers more/more feature filled.
Again lockhart don't work VS PS5.
If MS can bring better games it will work against vs PS5. PS4 won because of games.
Right. But you wrote this, right?
‘Make a more powerful/feature rich machine,include Halo Infinity and charge the same price as PS5.’
GP will include Infinity on Launch day, and they are basically giving away GP and Ultimate right now. They will most likely include a trial with a new system, so that basically means you’ll get Infinity (for a period of time) at launch, for free. This addresses your second request, per your quote.
The current rumors are the XSX is more powerful. We’ll see, but if so, that addresses your first request.
As for the 3rd request, if it’s more powerful, they can’t charge the same, because it will cost more to make, period.
So either pay a premium for the best, or go cheaper and less powerful.
Ask most consumers if they rather have 1 year of gamepass included or a copy of Halo Inf packed in and they would (especially holiday shoppers) easily take the Halo being packed in.
As far as the rumors...anything is possible but nothing is confirmed.
If MS doesn't want to end up 3rd place again they have to match them on price. AND be more powerful plus offer more.
If anybody can afford to do this it's MS.
BTW MS Xbox division... I am available for part time and would luv to offer my insite.
I dunno I'm in the rare MS exclusives are just as good camp.
A $299 4TB Xbox VS a $399-499 8-12 TF PlayStation 5(that brand powa) would fail badly.
You honestly think the average consumer would choose a single game over 100+ games that included that single game?
Huh.
the average consumer most likely would choose Gamepass, but more than likely they would be unaware of said game being included unless it was pointed out. The worst part would be when they download a game from GP and then try to load it and you get the message saying “you don’t own this game”. I’m ok with never again playing below.
I know they would.
The average consumer doesn't care about services like GP.
You know what, Xbox should do a colab with a familiar brand, not only to spread their name and bank in on some serious profits, hmmmm
Oculus Quest is on back order until February, and they sold out of stock well before Christmas. They aren't able to keep up with demand, but lol if you want to.
Where you get that?
Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu, and Disney + proves they will.
If I wasn't into gaming and I see a game with game-pass for a year included which has over 200 + games and all new release from MS are in vs. buying every game at a full price?
Come on, that is the best deal. I know your not a digital guy but damn the 90% of the games are tied to online.
Services like Netflix are totally different.
Can you use GP with PlayStation? Ok than
I know the industry and retail/consumers.
People want a solid pack in when buying a console not a service most never heard about.
The average consumer is gonna buy an Xbox next holiday and not know what game pass is? I find that laughable with the amount of time of game pass has been on the market and how heavily Microsoft has marketed it.
Nobody is gonna buy a new gen Xbox next holiday because the name is confusing.
The people that buy PlayStations and Nintendo machines instead of Xbox.
