TheXbox Series Xhas been detailed in full, giving us a look at the console’s beefy internals (and, confirming our previousleaks, ahem), and it’s looking rather impressive.
The Xbox Series X is farmore powerfulthan any existing video game console, with 12TF of computational power a-top 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and 8x 3.6GHz Zen2 CPU cores. Not only that, but it’s sporting custom, well,everything, including an NVMe SSD that reduces State of Decay 2’s loading speeddown to mere seconds.
Considering early analysis is comparing the Xbox Series X to the power of an RTX 2080 desktop GPU by itself which cost anywhere from $600 and up, it’s hard to envision how Microsoft expects to keep the price of the Xbox Series X down to standard console levels.
Reports from Bloombergsuggestedthat Sony was struggling to keep the manufacturing costs of the PlayStation 5 below $450, which is expected to sport similar specs to the Xbox Series X. While we don’t know much about the PS5 to do a direct comparison, the idea of the Xbox Series X being anywhere below $499 seems utterly remote, given the features and internals Microsoft is boasting.
So, we have two questions for you. How muchdo you thinkthe Xbox Series X will cost? And, how muchwould you payfor an Xbox Series X?
