Hey man, I think it is totally fair you thinking MS will do all possible to have the most powerful console. The reply was just that the way you phrased it seemed like they could be sure.

I don't think MS is really worried about having the most powerful system. They seem to be shifting towards their gaming services.  

Even if they are trying to have the most powerful console, I doubt they are interested in subsidizing it much. They didn't for the XBO or XBO X. And they sure as hell didn't for the Xbox SAD.  I think they might eat $50 or so of the cost, but I think Sony will be willing to eat $100-$150.

They are though. I just posted an interview with Phil Spencer where he confirms that he had a 2016 X1X to go head to head with the pro. They held off and released a more expensive version.

They obviously wanted the most powerful console to release only a year and a half ago. Why would that mentality from the Xbox team change now? Because of some misplaced navi rumours? Unlikely.

PS5 could indeed end up being more powerful. It isn't because Sony Co-developed Navi. This rumour needs to be put to bed.
