Except we don't know anything about the pricing or performance... We have seen GPU generations get significant performance gains in the past while the price getting increased slightly but we have also seen shitty performance while price getting increased significantly... There's no way to tell until it releases...

I'm in full agreement. 

I'm just saying it's just more likely that the XSX equivalent desktop GPU's will be around a similar price to the equivalent GPU's in the RDNA1 lineup. Ie 6700XT launch price = 5700XT launch price. Sure it can cost £100 or £1000. But in terms of likeliness it'll be similar price points.

New Nvidia 3000 cards will probably cost more than the 2000 series though. 

Generally, each GPU generation knocks the previous rankings down one grade. So the 5700XT would then become similar to a 6600XT or even just 6600, complete with a drop in price down to the relative performance level.

The reason why this pricedrop didn't happen last time(s) is because AMD didn't compete in the high-end market at the time, having concentrated all their ressources into the Zen architecture, and as a result NVidia could increase the prices with impunity. But now with first leaks that Big Navi would be about 40-50% faster than a 2080Ti, NVidia can't keep their prices so high, or the customers would all flock over to AMD.
