Lockhart - the code number for the cheap version of the Xbox Series X - could be dirty at half the price of the regular Xbox Series X. The news comes to us from user eastmen on the Beyond3D forums, a news filter that, as Wccftech points out, has a reputation for hitting the nail on the head with its rumours. According to Eastman, Lockhart - aka Xbox Series S - will cost half of the Xbox Series X. He does not say the exact price: “I'm not sure what the final price will be. Think if Sony becomes $500/$600, Microsoft might go for $200 and $400/$500 but we'll see." He thinks Microsoft is gearing up for the $400 Xbox Series X seller, though he doesn't. has confirmed. According to Eastman, the console will be smaller in size so that the Xbox Series X is completely digital optical disc of any kind. All games will be downloaded over the internet or played via streaming. A price of € 200 for Xbox Series S / Lockhart sounds like economic suicide, but Eastman says Microsoft makes up for such low prices by getting users to subscribe to its online video game services and other strategies: "Microsoft will cover its losses with a higher share of game sales and more subscriptions." . But maybe the final price won't be that low, eastman says, if the PS5's price is high.
