Microsoft Xbox Streaming Console On Hold Cos Of High Costs: Project Keystone, Microsoft’s streaming-only Xbox system, was shelved because its production cost was too high. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer claimed in an interview with The Verge (which was picked up by VGC) that Microsoft was unable to produce a streaming-only system that could be sold for a reasonable price.

Even though Microsoft loses money on every console it sells, Spencer had wanted to offer Project Keystone for between $99 and $129, but the streaming-only device ended up being too expensive. When we built it out with the gear that we had inside, the console we constructed that people have seen, called Keystone, cost more than we had intended.

We decided to concentrate that team’s efforts on bringing the streaming app to smart TVs. Spencer claimed that Microsoft would need to sell Project Keystone for significantly less money to be a competitive option for customers, especially given that Xbox already offers a less expensive next-generation console in the Series S, which retails for $299 as opposed to the Series X’s $499 price.

I don’t want to give exact cost information, but I believe you need to be between $129 and $99 to make sense in my opinion, he added. Xbox has increased the scope of its effort to expand the accessibility and availability of gaming, expanding the options for playing “on Xbox” beyond consoles to include PC, mobile, the aforementioned smart TV app, and other platforms as well.
