Ex-Blizzard boss: an $1800 Xbox "will never sell"

Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra criticized reports that the next Xbox could cost $1,200–1,800. He argues a console needs a $399–499 entry price and that PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X are "fine for 99%" of players.

• Ybarra called the rumored $1,200–1,800 price unrealistic for a mass-market console
• He puts the viable entry price at $399–499
• He advises sticking with PS5 Pro and Series X until prices normalize
• He cites FSR 4.1 coming to Xbox Series X and S as an example of optimization
