Nah, I don't care for bets. I just know trends and what the market desires. $499 base consoles isn't something to expect, regardless of the performance of the X1X (which merely prolonged the life of the Xbox One). There wasn't a sudden explosion of sales that pushed it to any unprecedented heights and next gen premium consoles won't either. 

I'm not found of bets either.

It just doesn't make sense to keep on 400 when they can push without a single problem nowdays.

They are there to make money, with 500 they are able to do more/lose less, and they'll definitely go that way, same for MS.

Regardless of XBX being an upgrade, the fact its selling better than the XBO for that price shows the market already fully accept it. Also does the surge of smartphones prices as I mentioned.

Long gone are the days of PS3 $599 disaster reveal, nowdays $499 for a very wanted piece of tech is nothing.

There is not a single reason for they to keep on 399, unless they want to REALLY bleed money to screw MS, which they don't need at all.

Anyway, want to make a bet without consequences then?

Whoever is right just need to come to the other to say he was right.

As much as I would love to have the most Sony could pump on a 599 console, Market really is much bigger and viable at 399.
