Xbox, the price? Microsoft is in no hurry to reveal it and is doing well

Xbox Series X, Microsoft's new console, will be released in November 2020: this is certain and official (except for last-minute postponements, which seem very unlikely). We do not know for sure in what month PlayStation 5 will arrive, but it is reasonable to expect it to be a few weeks away from the direct competitor. If not knowing the exact release date does not create huge problems, the speech is different when it comes to the price of Xbox Series X and PS5.

In the months we have heard of all sorts of rumors, leak and expert forecast. The most credible figures speak of around 499 euros, maybe a little more. However, there is no lack of rumors that point towards € 599, especially for the Xbox Series X. The truth, however, will be discovered only when the two companies make the official announcement. When will it happen? According to the Redmond company, Microsoft Xbox is in no rush to reveal the price of Xbox Series X.

Samuel Bateman, Head of Marketing for the UK division of Xbox, responded to a user via Twitter with the following words : “I understand that everyone is eager to know and that people want to plan their purchases and so on. We will let you know everything when we are ready. "

He then added, in another tweet:" If I could tell you I would. As I said, when we are ready we will. ”How to interpret these statements?

It is clear that the two companies have already identified a price for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The consoles are in production and the launch is no longer three months away. There may be minimal changes, perhaps caused by choices made by the direct competitor, but total upheavals are practically impossible.
