why Vega based? maybe Navi is ready for oct-nov 2020. 

One one side 400 could be a posibility. But 2020 is 7 years after 2013, and If we think about inflation, those 2013 400 USS are close to 2020 500 USS. Usa inflation usually is near 3% every year if im not wrong. 

IF PS5 is fast enough, they could price it at 500 USS after all XBox one X was priced at 500 in 2017. 

Exactly...and X1X isn’t selling at all. 400 seems more sensible. Worked out like a charm last time. Although 500 could work, if it was really powerful.

I think the PS5 power will be about the same as the XBX 

That’s highly unrealistic to assume, just for the fact the new CPU will be much faster for sure. GPU will also be at least Vega based. The X1X doesn’t even use Vega features - the Pro does though.

If rumours are true that Sony will be using a split solution this time instead of a combined APU, the power difference will be even more significant.

X is not selling because of exclusives. Switch is a great example, though it is a hybrid and that could be the reason for high sales I think exclusive games is an important factor. I guess people will buy 500$ console if it has the games and obviously BC for PS4.

If native 4K is too demanding then IMO it will not be bad idea to keep using checkerboard 4K but we get huge upgrade in shadow, lighting, special affects, stuff on screen at 60fps. I am a 1080P user but honestly I think gfx is more important than native 4K. Having said that I think native 4K will be given the priority because of marketing purpose.
