$500 is tolerable and that is what Series X is expected to cost. 

Also, just because mid-range products sell the best doesn't mean that low and high end don't sell well also. Look at PC gaming for instance. According to the latest Steam hardware survey, while mid-range GPU's from the last 2 GPU generations account for about 26.42% of all PC GPU's, if you add up all of the low and high end AMD and Nvidia GPU's from the latest 2 GPU generations, you come up with 22% which isn't far behind.

Totally agree. If the ps5 will launch at $399 and the Series X is $499, I for one would get me the Series X if it's really that more powerful and MS has the games to showcase the power gap. I'm sure that many would do the same. However, if it's $399 vs $599 or more, it would be a different story. But would anyone really buy a 4Tflops Series S, that they will be gaming on for 7 years, instead of a ps5 just to save 100 bucks? That's the price of 1 extra controller lol. 

We'll have to wait and see but I'm skeptical PS5 can hit $399 unless Sony is taking a pretty big loss per unit.

Also, what separates PS5 and Series X? Is it just 3TF? Would that justify a $100 disparity? X1X was a $100 more but it came with a much better GPU, more CPU power, a huge RAM upgrade, 4K Bluray drive and a better cooling system.

The Series S is looking like it will still be significantly more powerful than base PS4 and X1 at a lower launch price. On paper it may have 3x the GPU power of PS4, ~4x CPU power and big upgrades in other specs. So if you're just moving from a base console and most are, the Series S will still be a beast in comparison. That's enough power to make any 8th gen game 60 fps with improved graphics settings and a resolution boost.

Series S's GPU is seemingly designed to be at par with X1X in power. That means it would still crush X1X in CPU, storage and RAM capabilities.
