I think Microsoft will be very aggressive with pricing here. They know they screwed up at the start of this generation and PS4 took advantage. MS has a lot more money in the bank than Sony does as well, so I'm going to predict they sell it for a loss ($400) and make up for it with other profits. Heck, with Xbox gold, they could sell for $350 and be fine as long as people buy probably at least 3 games.
Ps5 may be the same price, but Microsoft will advertise itself as more power for the same buck. Sony probably won't be willing to lower their price as much, just a guess.

Not sure how many times it has to be said, but I'll say it, again, MS=/=Xbox. MS is not going to give Xbox the budget to lose them billions by taking a $200+ loss on HW, not when they are focusing on services as their future. You think the shareholders were loud at the beginning of this gen, they would be 10x louder at the beginning of next gen.

PlayStation, on the other hand, is one of Sony's top priorities. They are going to make sure it sells. And if that means taking a deeper loss on HW, then so be it. And I think plan on it, hence why the PS4 isn't already $199. They're building up a profit buffer.

Sounds like the software based raytracing, looks a bit more likely

This has already been proven wrong from Sony themselves. Not sure why people insist on continuing this narrative. Actually, yes I do. FUD.

MS has done this before with the Xbox and the 360. They weren't making profit until late in the 360 era. Even with gamepass I doubt they're making profit either.  I could see them just eating the loss and selling at $500 because anything more is DOA.
