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

Pricing higher than $499 at launch is going to cause more problems than adding some cost to existing and new services or features next gen. Spreading out the console losses through PS Plus and other means in small increments won't be unexpected next gen so it would be easy to hide. 

Yep if OP said he expect the console to cost 599 or even 699 USD then we could believe, but price above 499 will be very hard to happen. They rather lose money on launch on a strong hw with cuts in cost happening with scale and games+PSN covering loses for the first year or two than they launching at OP price.

So 499 USD is much pricier than 699 USD LOL
