As for the price, observers are still immersed in the expectation regarding the release date of the Xbox Series X. If we know that the new generation console from Microsoft will be available for the holiday season , no other concrete details leaked.
In the duel against Sony, Microsoft was the first to draw about the next-gen. It was during a conference at the Game Awards on December 13, 2019 that the manufacturer has formalized the Xbox Series X. And if we refer to the two previous generations of consoles, it is also Microsoft which had first put its console on the market. The Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005 in the USA and December 2, 2005 in Europe; PS3 on November 11, 2006 in the USA and March 23, 2007 in Europe. The Xbox One was also one week ahead of the PS4 in Europe, but it was the opposite in North America.
In short: the mystery remains intact, although we do not imagine Microsoft leaving too much ahead of its competitor so as not to lose ground at launch. On the side of Sony precisely, various leaks suggest an exit of the PS5 around the date of November 20. We bet that the Xbox Series X will also stall in these waters.
In any case, the global situation linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems, has not handicapped Microsoft’s production capacity for the Xbox Series X. In an interview given at the heart of the crisis, Phil Spencer assured not to imagine a postponement of the release of the console.
