Not a chance in heck. Microsoft is selling their games pass machine at a SUBSTANTIAL loss. Sony can’t compete in pricing without bankrupting themselves

I agree, which is why I never said anything. A commenter decided to give me a lesson on how to write the $ sign where one wasn’t warranted, so I gave him some information that he may have been ignorant about.

That’s definitely what I’m thinking too. The Xbone got off to a super rocky start with it being 100 bucks more expensive. Sony does not want a repeat of the PS3/360 situation, and eating some of the hardware cost early on is probably something that would pay off in the long run.

That’s an expensive ass disc drive

Where I am from it is written after.  You say it like it reads. 499 Dollars.

I don’t think Sony is all that concerned with one-upsmanship here. They may well announce a $449 PS5, but if they do, it would almost certainly not have anything to do with Microsoft. I don’t think they want to compete directly with the Series S at all, either.

*snicker* Yea, no. For every parent who’s an active gamer, there’s another five whose video game experience consists of playing Solitaire/Free Cell at work and/or Candy Crush on their phone. They could probably tell you that XBox and Playstation are brands that exist, but getting them to name the specific units…

“Reports indicate it’s a 4-teraflop machine that uses the same CPU as in Series X, paired with a less powerful GPU and less RAM. It’s said to be designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming, whereas Series X can deliver 4K.”

Actually my kind of letterings are more of the variety of RTX 3090 and RX-5700-XT.

They learned from the gamertag data they collected all along. All these XxXDarksasuke666XxX weren’t for nothing

Tbh not really. This things been leaking so much it might as well have overactive bladder. So they just went full on "fuck it" after this most recent leak. 

it leaked.

my first Xbox 360 and my first PS4 were both Christmas presents from my parents. but we never get them at launch, we usually wait a year so it’ll be cheaper and there will be more games to play. so I’m probably not going to get a PS5 until next Christmas.

Is it so hard to name them Xbox 3 and Xbox 3 Lite?

Coming up next

Man I can’t wait for all the confusion this holiday season when parents mistake the Xbox Series X with Series S. They virtually sound the same, but the series S is a budget Xbox x 1.5 lol. I don’t know who is running their marketing/naming team over there.

I still hate EVERYTHING about the Xbox naming scheme.

The VG24/7 article states the following:

“Reports indicate it’s a 4-teraflop machine that uses the same CPU as in Series X, paired with a less powerful GPU and less RAM. It’s said to be designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming, whereas Series X can deliver 4K.”

So, yeah, basically somewhere between a One S and a One X. This…

I need to see the specs. 1/3 the size can’t mean just a missing optical drive.

Consoles in a variety of flavors with different performance specs, because why should PC gamers have a monopoly on gaming potatoes?
