The well-known journalist and videogame presenter Geoff Keighley shares an interesting background on the strategy that, according to him, would have decided to implement Microsoft in organizing the delicate phase of the Xbox Series X and S pre-orders.
In sharing the official communication from the Redmond company on social media linked to the announcement of the opening for September 22 of the Xbox Series X and S reservations, Keighley pointed out how “I have heard that Microsoft’s Xbox division will penalize resellers who violate the pre-order embargo by sending them a smaller stock of consoles for launch, so I really hope this embargo holds.”.
Geoff Keighley’s anticipation, if confirmed, could help shed light on the reasons that led Microsoft to focus its communication strategy on pre-orders for Xbox Series X and S by choosing September 22nd as the opening date of the booking phase of the two nextgen consoles, complete with an orientation card on the resellers who will join the initiative in the individual countries.
According to Keighley, therefore, Microsoft will try to avoid the chaos of pre-orders which is involving Sony’s competition after theannouncement on date and price of PS5 deciding, in fact, to reduce the quantity of Xbox Series X and S consoles sent to those resellers who will not respect the embargo for the official opening of reservations. And you, what do you think about it? Let us know with a comment, but first we remind you that Xbox Series X and S will be released on November 10 at the price respectively of 499 e 299 euro.
