Poll: Do You Think The Xbox Lockhart Will Be Revealed In June?

I’m hoping so. I think it would give people a good option, particularly as many may find themselves with less disposable income after the current crisis. I’m still going to get the Series X, but may get an S for the bedroom if it’s cheap enough.

Definitely maybe. 😐

Yeah, given July is about games I think June will be focused on hardware. Any other versions of the console, maybe the console's OS, perhaps pricing and/or release date. Hoping the most for more info on backwards compatibility though.

I know it's crazy but I want lockhart to be a handheld with gamepass capabilities, that would be awesome. A cheaper less powerful option doesn't excite me at all.

I don't think this releases before the Series X. It is kinda tricky to market and sell the world's most powerful next-gen console and the least powerful next-gen console at the same time.
I believe this idea is either scrapped or just put on hold until they see how the market plays out.

I think that it will be revealed in June but not released until next year. It will be white like the Xbox One S.

It seems odd that, if Series S does exist, it hasn't been announced.

I have zero plans to get a Series S (assuming it actually exists). I just don't know if I could stand not having the "best" possible version of the Series X possible (unless the Series X is some ridiculous price).

I do have my Xbox One X that I will as a trade-in towards a Series X. Hopefully GameStop will have some good trade-in offers towards the purchase.

@GamingFan4Lyf Perhaps because they want to reveal at the same time as the price given price is the reason someone would pick the less powerful model.

I feel like the Lockehart is dependent on Sony. If the PS5 comes out with a higher price tag, then they’ll save the Lockehart for next year or so as a budget console. However, if the PS5 comes out with a lower price tag, they’ll push it out alongside the Series X so they cover the low and high price points.

If the Series S exists, I think it’s part of the game of “chicken” Microsoft & Sony are playing right now regarding the prices of the consoles.

I hope so. Even though it's less powerful I would have probably considered buying it. It's supposed to be smaller, which means it's a cuter console, and I like the name Lockhart (Tifa!). The only thing that makes it a deal breaker is it's missing a disc drive. I don't care about it being weaker, but so many of my games are physical, I don't want to lose them.
That being said, I can't wait to see it.

I am interested in Series X but a cheaper, smaller and less powerful Series S is a good idea because of how popular Game Pass is. I don't think that games will be less impressive on Series X because of Series S as both run Windows 10, it's going to be like playing PC games on more or less powerful devices. That even happens now on weak devices running different operating systems such as Switch running blurry versions of Doom and Wolfenstein 2. I have Crash Team Racing on both Switch and Xbox One X and the visual difference is a whole generation. That said, the day that Series X games are no longer supported on Xbox One they will be more CPU-complex.

Can't wait to see the lockhart..

June seems like a safe bet since July is focused solely on 1st party games.

@MedaXbot You can essentially already accomplish that with a phone/tablet and a controller.

@redd214 isn't that just with streaming though?

@MedaXbot correct either streaming from you console it self or xcloud. I dont have experience with the former but the latter works amazingly making my phone basically a handheld xbox. From MS point of view seems much smarter to use devices most of us already have vs trying to develop a dedicated handheld. If you have the internet for it, works very well!

@redd214 yeah I can understand from a business sense streaming is better and it's pretty cool. For me that option doesn't work though, not saying they shouldn't do it I'd just prefer a switch-ish option.
