This is an easy bet for me. Sony wants to appeal to as many consumers as possible so an appealing price point is necessary. So unless Sony wants to take a hell of a loss, I think their hardware will be weaker but cost $100 less than SX which I'm guessing is no less than $550 more likely to be $600. Microsoft has the funds to eat a substantial loss, and still be profitable with their software avenues including Games Pass and you know...Windows.

So I'd be surprised if tomorrow PS5 is much stronger than SX because either result is potentially dangerous for Sony.

Sony can get a far larger discount since their console sells 100 million+ while Xbox is half of that. Sony also has the funds easily to eat a loss: they've been making billions of profit every year (far more than Xbox) and have far higher software sales, subscription sales and 1st party sales. 

Haha, so... that's not how it works. And no way in hell you're going to convince me Sony has more money to burn than freaking Microsoft. As of last year the top companies with the most cash in hand, the top of that list is Microsoft followed by Berkshire Hathaway...Sony is nowhere to be seen on this list. Sony can eat a loss, but it'll hurt them way more than it'll hurt Microsoft.
