This is due to the high cost of components, which according to the source is “twice” the current cost of producing the Series X (about $650).
Magnus will be built on the new AMD APU and its hardware will be much more powerful and energy intensive. At the same time, Microsoft will not be able to subsidize the price through a 30% commission on game sales if rumors that Steam and third-party stores will be supported are confirmed.
Experts believe that such a high price could also affect Sony’s strategy and force the company to think about the pricing of PlayStation 6.
In terms of features, Magnus promises to be one of the most productive consoles, although it slightly outperforms the PS6.
