"these comparisons are ridiculous because we literally don't know anything about the pricing of PS5 or Xbox Scarlett. How about we wait until we have more information".

"Sure they are, look we can totally make these educated guesses! We know things about these consoles that haven't been stated!"

"Look at all of these educated guesses other people would have made that turned out to be totally wrong. Isn't it better to wait until we know more?"

"who cares if all turns out to be wrong, it can be true to some people now!"

If that's how you want to do it, man.

Also, where did I make a positive or negative claim about anything around the price of the PS5 or its features?

If you don't want to take part in any discussion where not everything is a 100% fact be my guest, most people don't live like that. Stop starting petty arguments. If you don't disagree the consoles will be roughly $400-$500 then there's nothing to argue about. If you do disagree that will be the price that's all you have to say.


Let's see if you can spot the difference between these three quotes:

"Let's assume that the price of a console will probably be between $400-$500 for discussions sake"

"We know the price of a console will be between $400 and $500"

"We know the price of a console will be between $400 and $500, will have an annual online pass at a cost of $80 a year, will get a mid-generation upgrade that hasn't been announced with a price between $400-$500 to compete with a Google Stadia mid-generation upgrade that hasn't even been announced yet within a defined time period that doesn't comport with the time current time span between consoles, and based off of all of this we can factual comparisons of the costs playing on each platform over a six year span."

If you can't spot the difference then get back to me when you can.


When you take everything I've said and you distill that to "I think its unreasonable to say the consoles will be roughly $400-$500, and I just don't want to say it" I just don't know how to go on from there. It just doesn't add up at all.
