If the Scorpio is too powerful for $399, what does that mean for PS5?

Gamers still look at it as a Sales race even when Phil has mentioned many times its not a race. Its about making money. Scorpio isnt going to outsell anything and it doesn't have to because its not going to be a mass produced product like the XB1 or PS4. Its a premium product meant for console only gamers that want true 4k gaming.
Its all about profit. MS could undercut the Scorpio to $150 and claim they have the best selling system if they wanted to and they can and still be afloat.
Its why i dont base my decisions or care about sales numbers. Its all about these companies making money to continue to deliever us these machines in the future.

Sales never tell the true story.

So your decisions are based on the cmpanies making money?

And you may say MS doesn't care about sales and how even MS themselves say they don't care about sales (go figure)...... but I am willing to bet you $50 that MS would probably love to be the one that is pushing on 60M consoles sold and not the one still trying to hit 30M. And being that they don't care about sales I can't for the life of me understand why they were and have been slashing the price of the XB1 as much as they have.... especially last year.

But hey waht do I know. MS says they don't care about sales.

But just outta curiosity though; doesn't more sales also mean more profit?I mean its not like sony is selling teh PS4 at a loss right?
