Microsoft is preparing a strike on the PlayStation 5 – an insider spoke about the high-profile July presentation of the Xbox Series X

Simpler and cheaper Xbox Series S / Lockhart may be half the price of the flagship Xbox Series Xthat will become an important part of the strategy Microsoft in the new console generation. About this on the forum Beyond3D told by user Eastmen, who has proven in the past that he has access to insider information of the software giant.

He added that the Xbox Series S will appear in a compact form factor and will be fully digital. The insider does not know the final price of the Xbox Series X, and therefore the Series S, but he heard that Microsoft was ready to sell XSX for 400 dollars at a loss, offsetting losses due to increased sales of games and subscriptions to Xbox game pass.

“But the price also depends on Sony’s actions. If Sony sets a high price tag, Microsoft will not have to resort to extremes in pricing,” the insider said.

Eastmen also talked about the July presentation of Microsoft, where they should not only introduce Series S, but also declare the cost of Series X. According to him, Microsoft has prepared a real night of revelation. She will reveal the line of games, against which all past events will simply fade.

“From what I heard from my sources, July is not about Sony, but about the industry as a whole, and Microsoft wants its event to be a night of sensations. She intends to break into her strategy, which she has been building for many years, and shake Google, Amazon, Apple, Sony, and even Nintendo thoroughly. So expect some explosive news, and in the end the price announcement will be a key part of it all. ”

The goal of Microsoft, Eastmen writes, is supposedly to become “Netflix from the world of games.” Therefore, the company is now striving to fill its platform with a lot of quality content, and the key element in all of this will be the affordable Xbox Series S.
