Rumors are quite strong these days that Xbox is going to launch consoles that are superior to those already known, to give more power and fluidity to the various games released in the coming years. However, this is still something that hasn’t been confirmed by the company, but it hasn’t been long since the speculations about the current devices dropping in price.
As usual when new devices come out, others drop their prices, and this is a question for fans MicrosoftAnd the same reached the ears of the CEO of the Games Division, Phil Spencer. Who shared a few words, and they can be a bit disappointing, since a kind of reduction is not intended, since there are no plans to launch higher devices in the market at the beginning.
Here is your speech in the middle Eurogamer the time Gamescom 2023.
The price is not going down. We see that now, and that’s why we built the Xbox Series S (…) We want to make sure we have a console under $300 because we want to grow, and we think it’s entry-level for a lot of new families. Price will matter or gamers are coming into the market.
For us, thinking about where our hardware is going and reaching more customers, the price point is important. But you can’t start with a console that costs $500 USD thinking it will reach $200 USD. That won’t happen. Because you can’t buy the original components that you use anymore as a hardware manufacturer because no one makes that type of RAM or other components.
This means that these consoles stay on the market for a long time, after all, they haven’t been out for a long time, it will be exactly three years since that event in November.
