PS5 or Xbox Scarlet will probably price around 499 to 549 USD

Sony already stated they are aiming at the harcore gamer with PS5, and the hardcore gamer only. It already implies it will be a more niche product that will let most casual gamers are out of their equation for at least for the first 2 years of the console life until it gets cheaper.

Lol.  Yes, that is called public relations.  Sony isn't going to make the ps5 a niche console, not when the entire success of the entire Playtation brand has been built on mass appeal.  PSN+ subscriptions rake in billions for Sony.  Do you really believe they want to greatly reduce the number of subscribers by going niche?  I don't.  Sony isn't making the ps5 niche, not even on a temporary basis.  At best I could see Sony dual releasing a ps5 and a ps5 Pro, $399 and $499 respectively.  

Unless Sony release another statement reverting what they said about the PS5 being a niche product aimed at the core gamer, yes we can lower the bar for the price. So far, what we have is it will be hefty on pricing based on what we know about the specs so far, like being more powerful (even slightly) than Scarlet which is roughly 4 times more powerful than XONEX.
