Microsoft revealed yesterday that the Xbox Series X would officially be launching in November, and now according to a tipster, we might even know the exact date it will arrive.
As pointed out by The Verge's Tom Warren on Twitter, the boxes for the recently leaked Xbox Series S / X Robot White controller reportedly have a 'do not sell or display' date of November 6th on them, which you can see below:
Naturally, it's now being speculated that the Xbox Series X is targeting a Friday, November 6th release, which certainly sounds plausible. That said, it's worth noting that controllers sometimes launch ahead of their respective consoles, so we can't lock this down as a definite just yet - hopefully we'll get an official answer soon!
Do you think the Xbox Series X will launch on November 6th or later? Give us your predictions below.

That seems like the most reasonable timeframe, they usually release early November don’t they?
Wow! How insiders respect things these days 😂.
Just in time for Cyberpunk 2077 launch window.
Makes sense. The earlier the better.
Since Halo is going to be in 2021 now, then they can release the console whenever they want & not be tied to a particular game.
I’d delay the console. You only get one chance to launch a console and they need to release with a big hitter.
GamePass is exceptional value but you cannot possibly release a console in this climate without exclusive, system seller titles.
A solid 2021 launch with more games would be huge for Xbox. Plus even more value could be put on GP by then, including potential games like Avengers and Cyberpunk being available on the service.

1) people spend more money during the holidays. The next launch Window is March when taxes come in. Kids won’t be able to get them as presents.
2) If they wait until March that’s 5/6 months of tractions the PS5 builds.
I’m not saying that you can’t or shouldn’t; just those two factors make it hard.
I don't really mind when they release the console since I am perfectly happy with my Xbox One. That is probably mainly because I was so late to the party with what is considered now to be the current gen.
I remember when I worked at Kmart back during the PS One era on we would get games anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months before release date and the boxes that they were sent in had those kind of stickers on the them.
