The Xbox Series X release date remains one of the most important secrets that Microsoft keeps right now around its next-generation console, although thanks to the constant dripping of information and leaks that have been produced we have an estimated date that, frankly, seems quite accurate, the November 5 this year.
Indeed, we are talking about a launch date, availability, which means that, in theory, Xbox Series X can be purchased from November 5. I’ll explain where we got this information from. The control knob that confirmed the existence of Xbox Series S was recently leaked, and today we have learned that said control It is guaranteed until November 5, 2021.
We will put that information in context to interpret it correctly. Microsoft offers, in the United States, a one-year warranty, and the new controllers will be available at the same time as Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. If we subtract that year of warranty, the date we get is November 5, 2020 , without more.
Xbox Series X Early November – Why?
The answer is short and simple, because that way it could be considerably ahead of PS5, a console that will not arrive, in theory, until November 20. Getting there first can help Microsoft better position its console new generation, although it is clear that whoever wants to buy, yes or yes, a PS5 will not hesitate to wait.
There is no question, it makes sense. Launching Xbox Series X on November 5 gives Microsoft considerable headroom, allows it to ‘hit first’, and at the same time puts it in a fairly comfortable position to estimate demand and prepare to cover, effectively, the Christmas campaign.
Before finishing I remind you of the specs Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, as well as the possible sale price from both consoles. If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments and we will help you solve them.
