It has long been rumored that Microsoft is working on two Xbox consoles for next-gen, aiming to claim both ends of the market. And now, we can confirm indeed that the pricing scheme should be very familiar, matching that of the Xbox One X and Xbox One S of yesteryear.
We can confirm via our sources that the entry-level Xbox Series S will cost $299 at retail, with a $25 per month Xbox All Access financing option, which Microsoft is planning to push hard via various retailers and a large global roll out. The more powerful Xbox Series X will cost $499, with a $35 per month Xbox All Access financing option.
Both consoles will launch on November 10, 2020.
The Xbox Series S just leaked (via Brad Sams), giving us a glimpse at Microsoft's entry-level next-gen SKU. The Xbox Series S is small enough to fit inside an Xbox Series X, and we expect it to be around 4TF RDNA2, making it roughly around as powerful as the Xbox One X, perhaps geared towards 1080p monitors with better frame rates. We don't have further details on the console's capabilities beyond that, but we expect NVME drives, and many of the newer "next-gen" features like fast resuming multiple games, and ray tracing.
The Xbox Series X is a 12TF beast of a console that will boast 4K resolution and 60 FPS as standard, with some games, like Halo Infinite, going all the way up to 120 FPS in multiplayer.
The prices Microsoft have put forward for the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X put them firmly in-line with the Xbox One S and Xbox One X, and it will be interesting to see how Sony prices the competing PlayStation 5 in response.
Microsoft will push Xbox All Access financing far more broadly than it did this gen, which was seen as a bit of a pilot program. We're expecting Xbox All Access to roll out to far more markets than it did previously, and we also expect the Xbox Series consoles to gun for a global simultaneous launch in all existing Xbox markets, rather than the slow rollout we saw for the Xbox One in 2013.

Smart move with the financing options imo
Those making fun of it are probably shook sony fan boys.

Why would anybody buy the S shits not even 4K....and if you have to Finance a video game console your Priorities aren’t in the right place.
Honestly everyone isn't going to be playing in 4K this next generation again. And hey maybe finance the system and save for the TV. Options ya know. Technically gaming isn't a need anyway. But thats a nice entry point price. But fuck digital only. Games just fuckin disappear and Konami had the Silent Hills demo wiped from people's system.
Waiting for Sony to see what they do now.
It is not about priorities. They are just making the system more affordable so that everyone can experience it.
A system plus controller and game can run you about a grand.
seems silly what’s the point of getting next gen if not in 4K
If you have to Finance a video game system.....don’t get one don’t even play video games get on your grind - TC
Frame rate and Image quality.
Some games on the Xbox One S would struggle to do 1080p at 30fps at what would be medium/low settings on the PC.
The Series S should deliver solid 1080p/60fps gaming at high/ultra settings with effects like ray tracing.
Plus faster load times due to the faster storage.
At $300 with financing, these will sell like hot cakes.
People use credit cards every day. We don’t say that about them.
Think about the parents that want to get one for xmas. Microsoft made it that much easier
Once more if you have to finance something materialistic thats $299 or $499 go ahead and pass it up.
