![]() ![]() I guess there is a reason why Microsoft raised the price of Series X. ![]() And I don't believe that for 399€ you can make that console without loosing money. Which will be 399€ or 449€ depends of what price point Sony will chose. PS5 Slim base price would be matching price of PS5 DE, not PS5. PS5 Slim is rumored to switch to 5nm process witch is even more expensiveĥ. Revisions of PS5 switched to 6nm from 7nm which increases costs since it is more expensive manufacturing process.Ĥ. PS5 DE was still sold at a loss at the time of announcement.ģ. Sony announced that PS5 is not made at a loss 9 months after consoles launched but whole supply chain went even more fucked after that. Nothing will convince people to buy Xbox consoles other then games. While we can probably see what is being build in future, fact is that people have no reason to believe Spencer's words or words of any Xbox execs. Starfield needs to be great and I have no doubt's that it will bring people into Xbox ecosystem. PlayStation has easier time convincing customers because they actually released plenty of first-party games this gen (from Demon's Souls, through Forbidden West to the Ragnarok) and even if they did not have such a games available, people trust them that they deliver. Microsoft currently sold it's Xbox consoles to the customers that were hardcore Xbox fans and to the customers who's main draw was value of Game Pass. Because if you have unfinished SDK for your next-gen console it's obvious that devs would go and try maximise other platform that has better tools.īut it's all about games. And maybe with native next-gen stuff, more CU will be beneficial but currently it does not seems like that will be the case.Īlso, fact that GDK was not ready for next-gen launch was primary example of Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot. But I have feeling that going with bigger chip with more CU's and smaller clocks was worse choice than PlayStation's choice for going with less CU's on higher clocks. It didn't need three revisions to cut the unnecessary parts. Series X on the other hand? From start of the gen I said that Series X is objectively better machine then PS5. Didn't Nadella said something like "half of Series S owners are new in Xbox ecosystem?" This is product with clear goal fulfilling on it's promise. Series S was designed to bring people currently outside of Xbox ecosystem into it. I just read Jez's article about console hardware and I must say I disagree. ![]()
