The sweetspot will be $399 -$499, which be probably be exactly what the ps5 will cost. MS would have two consoles that sit completely outside the expected and tolerable price point. It just wouldn't make sense lol.

Who dictated the sweet spot starts at $399? Says who? The lower end Xbox 360 costed $299. The Wii costed $250. You act like a next gen machine that plays 1080p games is a bad sell at $300... that’s some nice mental gymnastics you pulling. 

Cant comment on Series X price, but $499 isn’t out of the question. 

The ps4 launched at $399 and got a standing ovation for it during the reveal. When they announced the ps3 at $599 people were in outrage, though. The Xbox 360 also launched for $399, while the Xone also got some serious backlash when they revealed the $499 launch price. So yeah, most people will expect it to be $399 or $499 max. But nobody wants it to be too cheap and feel like they're buying some half ass next gen console that's just a slight upgrade from what they've been playing on for the last 7 years.
