I'd say this would be fairly accurate based on what I've heard. But still all unconfirmed ofc. I previously estimated the build cost of Series X would be higher at over $460 minimum and still expect that to be the case. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

this opens the door pretty wide to a ~$500 price of entry for PS5 and xbox series x this fall. which makes the prospect of a much cheaper “series s” console that much more attractive. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

It's funny that people will spend 1k on a phone that will last 3 years, but it's an issue if the price of a console with a 10-year shelflife is over $400. https://twitter.com/...
