Microsoft announced the price of the Xbox one on June 10, 2013 and Sony announce their price the following day June 11, 2013 after removing camera and undercutting Microsoft by $100.

There a good reason both company aren't announcing price. Microsoft plan is to undercut Sony with both Xbox series X and Lockhart. Microsoft wants to match Sony's discless PS5 price. 

Thank you for sharing that.

They're now waiting for each other.

Sony's sneaky move

Not only did Sony sacrifice an out of the box camera in favor of a lower PS4 launch price, it did so quietly, according to IGN.

The company discreetly informed retailers of the camera's removal and didn't even mention the lower PS4 price point, according to the site's multiple sources.

That way, Microsoft was none of the wiser about the significant price difference between PS4 and its Xbox One console.

Note: I'm pretty sure Phil Spencer still remembers what happened back in 2013 and he will be damn if Sony gets to do it again.
