        I don’t really see a problem. ideally they offer products a various price ranges like apple products for various use cases. There of course can be implementation complexity with supporting tiered devices

          If that counts as a console, every PC counts (everything’s an Xbox, according to MS), then a $6000 prebuilt is a more expensive Xbox.

            I mean a console is just a PC running a locked OS.

            So maybe “XBOX OS” is locked down, or maybe they’re just trying to advertise it as a user friendly controller-first experience.

                Also from the Xbox perspective this is mostly Asus taking the risk hardware wise. Microsoft are just adding some bigger grips on the side.

                  Who was expecting this to be console pricing? This is essentially a full laptop in a tiny form factor, of course it’s gonna cost more like a laptop or you know, all of the other handheld PCs out there.

                    I would have thought Xbox/M$ would be subsidising the hardware cost somewhat.

                      They are desperately trying to be the Netflix of games. That is why they keep buying IP, studios and publishers. They are buying content for that service.

                      Boutique hardware doesn’t help that. You need that service on every and anything.

                        Gamepass being operating system agnostic would be great. My Australian internet is too shit for cloud streaming though.

                          Since nobody else posted it in the comments yet: 600 euros for the base version, 900 for whatever the X version is.

                          OP, remember this isn’t Reddit, we can put the actual number in the title of the post.
