Microsoft's Next Xbox Could Be the Most Expensive Console Ever
Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) next-generation Xbox platform is set to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the upcoming gaming platform could bring big changes for the gaming industry. It's still too early to state definitively, but most reports seem to indicate that it will be more powerful than Sony's (NYSE: SNE) next-gen PlayStation. What's known about the upcoming Xbox Series X also points to the system being pretty expensive.
Some estimates point to Microsoft's Series X debuting in the $500 to $600 range, and there's a chance that those targets could actually be conservative. Selling a dedicated gaming platform in that price range has historically been an uphill battle, and pricing the console above $600 would likely create some serious obstacles to adoption. Microsoft is serious about building its position in the gaming industry, but there are signs that the company is willing to take the risk of launching the most expensive mainstream console ever. And the tech giant has avenues to make it work.
