I feel like you're misunderstanding my OP; I wasn't asking for information - I was wondering aloud. I know we don't have much info on the PS5.

Individual component parts don't directly correlate to hardware price. Just because the parts are cheap doesn't mean the effect it has on the price of the console will be that same number. $50 less is plenty for a digital-only PS5 option.

Ok for the first point, on the second point you are among very few people that expect a lot of savings from missing the disc. X1 discless and PSP Go are here to show customers didn't got much on the way of real saving. X1 discless MSRP 250 USD, but you regularly already find under 220 X1S.

Dude, that's an insanely disingenuous comparison. You're comparing the fringe discounts of a 3 year old model to the one-day-old announcement price of a new digital-only model without discounts. If they were launched at the same time, the implication to be made is that it still would have been $50 less, just like it is now for the undiscounted price. Had this model been 3 years old like the current XBO S, it would likely be just as easy to find at $170. I don't see how PS5 would be any different.
