If they can't get the dev support with games, even if they are not launch titles then the price is irrelevant, particularly in Japan and to a varying but still large extent in Europe... (I realise that the USA is different but you're welcome to a console without decent games, I prefer the game proposition to the FPS.) Without decent Japanese titles it is dead in the water in Japan and without football games it is dead in the water in Europe - get that gmes library sorted M. Soft.
@RiverRunning Though, like with a previous console that there was a "small" courtcase over, if it is that cheap with that much power it may well sell well into the educational sector to power cheap cluster machines / Beowulf clusters...
I wonder if forcing devs to develop games for a lower-powered console if they want to be on Xbox will cause more devs to choose to go PC/PS5 exclusive.
