Can't we argue that exact point though for the Xbox X2? $100 more but moar powah?

 

If the price difference between the lower xbox and PS5 corresponding with power, why wouldn't that same leap apply to the X2? It might not be only slightly better.

As explained on a very near post. Sony will have higher sales projection and buying higher batch, so they may have lower cost (same on doing better HW engineering and achieving lower cost solution for similar spec).

And the difference is that MS having 2 consoles one will already compete with the other. We already seem when company have 2 HW that will play the same game which sells more (Arcade X360 without HDD sold more than elite, X1 sold probably 2-4x better than X1X, PS4 sold 3x more than PS4Pro). Does that answer your question?

Not really. It just tells me that you believe that Sony engineering will be superior based on assumptions? The navi rumour? I'm not sure.

I doubt at launch, the batch differences will be that much. X1 and PS4 launch numbers are incredibly close. I expect that the same will happen next launch. They'll both sell out of their respective "batches" launch window. Even the X1 managed to sell out in most markets in spite of the massive backlash.

I feel like the question still stands. Both companies are spending big in R&D I'd imagine and I don't understand why a Sony dollar would translate into a better machine than a MS one. Of course this question is pretty much unanswerable at the moment though.
