Microsoft is getting closer and closer to making the Xbox Series X console available on the gaming market. However, the company can use the same strategy of the current generation and also be preparing a more compact and affordable version, which is being termed the rumors as Series S.
Although there are no official details regarding the pricing strategy to be applied by the brand, strong speculation suggests that the console focused on being cost-effective will cost exactly half the amount that the most robust, making Sony stay even more concerned about the price to be applied on the PlayStation 5 , which was launched on the 11th .

The information was shared by the user Eastman in the Beyond3D forum, where he made it clear that the focus of the North American company, as expected, is to surpass the Japanese, applying “aggressive” values to ensure that it will meet the needs of different layers of the Target audience.

“Last I heard that it is half the price of the XSX and the last time I heard that MS was prepared for a $ 400 XSX. I’m not sure what the final price will be. I think if Sony is $ 500 / $ 600 MS may try to come in at $ 200 / $ 400 / $ 500, but we’ll see, “he said of the Xbox Series line.
In case the Redmond giant decides to practice this action, obviously the numbers with console sales alone will not be enough to close the account always in the blue, making it necessary to apply good pricing strategies in games and betting on exclusives to offer differentials.

However, to the public’s surprise, the console should make its debut together with the “big brother” Series X, making a single launch for both products, just as Sony did when it announced the normal PS5 and digital games.
