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

Bold: Lol.

OT: Like Matt, I'll decide when I see if it warrants the price. I'd happily pay a bit more to have locked 60 fps but I hope they manage to keep it at $499. I think $549 or $599 would scare away a lot of potential customers which could affect the diversity of its game library negatively.

I stand by it.  I recall people being stunned at the prices for the Vita and ps4.  Both came in way under what most were predicting.  I don't see prices changing in any great deal.

Especially since Sony can mitigate loss on hardware with PSN+ subscriptions.  Sony launched a highly expensive console with the ps3, it didn't turn out well, not until prices were slashed.  

No one was stunned by the launch price of the PS4. It was within the margin of reasonable estimates. 

350 for a PS5 on the other hand is absolutely ridiculous.

Ps3 launch price today would be at a value of around 700. So 500-550 would be well below a "highly expensive console".
