Microsoft has announced the official name for its next-gen console: Xbox Series X. Previously known as Project Scarlett, Xbox Series X is scheduled to release during the holiday season in 2020. However, despite revealing the console at The Game Awards, Microsoft doesn't want to put it up for pre-order just yet.
"We think, in the end, what people want from us is ... to put a controller [in their] hand," Xbox partner director of program management Jason Ronald told GameSpot. "People tell me, 'Hey, I want to pre-order right now,' and we definitely love that--like it's great to have those fans--but I also know that these investments aren't trivial for families. I want to be transparent about what our design goals are."
To ensure customers know what they're paying for, Microsoft is going to hold off on pre-orders for a little longer. Though we now know a lot more about Xbox Series X--like its name, its PC desktop-looking design, the new share button on its controllers, how it will work with Project xCloud, and a host of other details--we're still in the dark about quite a few things. The big one is, of course, its price tag.
More than anything though, Microsoft doesn't want to start selling Xbox Series X yet because customers haven't had a chance to try the console yet. The Game Awards presents a wonderful platform for announcements, but, as Ronald puts it, the show doesn't present "an opportunity for people to play--it's a stage."
