The big difference is Microsoft can and will take losses on sales, Sony cant afford to do that, at best they would sell it without profits, that's the best they would do and that means minimum 450dollars.

Microsoft could do an underpowered series X for 400dollars, taking a loss on each sale, and a more powerful console for 450 taking a loss on each sale, people have to realize these consoles will be way more powerful than an xbox X, also the SSD increases the cost substantially, 1TB SSD is not cheap at all.

Both companies can take losses on the hardware. Yes, both can afford it. Doesn’t mean they will, but they can afford it.

Sony cant. They were atop an empire before the ps2... then the ps3 almost bankrupted them. How quickly we forget a poorly thought out system can drown a company like sony in multi billions in losses for basically the entire gen. Microsoft can afford it... sorry, sony just cant. They arent the big dogs anymore as far as size. They make money... jow... but they sure as hell cant waste it. That's just laughable.
