Not a chance the PS5/Scarlet are equivalent to an RTX 2080. The RX 5700 XT is the best Navi card atm, it's not as good as an RTX 2080 and it costs $400.

Performance will be closer to the RTX 2060, a little below the RX 5700 (non XT).

First, we’re talking next year's GPU.

Second, they're Navi based, but essentially they’re both going to be custom made.

Third, there’s a big difference between retail price of a single unit and bulk price of min 30+ million units. 

Fourth, those systems will be sold at a loss, and both will be more expensive than their predecessors.

The PS4 was roughly equivelent to a Radeon 7850. A gpu that launched 20 months before it at $249.

Now we have claims that the PS5 will be BETTER than a gpu that launched 16 months before it at $399 (RX 5700 XT). With the added expense of Hardware Ray Tracing support to boot. It's not going to happen. We already have UHD bluray and SSD's driving up the production cost compared to last gen. They will launch at $500, and they won't match the RTX 2080.
