Does PS5 have a good chance to win the launch season?

Is this even a question anymore? I mean MS could still turn things around in the future, but at the moment I'm pretty much certain that Sony will dominate this Q4 with the PS5.

That's exactly what I want to solidify. Is there anything else Microsoft could pull off?

PS5 was pretty much poised to win the launch window anyway, barring too high of a price. This will cement that dominance even further. The only way I think that Xbox has a good chance is if the Xbox Series X is $400 and the PS5 Standard Edition is $600. So it would basically be Gen 7 price differences at launch all over again.

PS5 was going to sell more even before the halo delay..... the only thing that could stop that is it somehow costing $100 more than the Series X.

Well they could have stock shortages. Or Series S could be a huge hit, with Series X making up less than 20% of overall Xbox sales. Both scenarios are rather unlikely though. I give it 70% odds Sony will win the early launch season.

Good points on price and stock. Microsoft can get really aggressive with price and discounts. We'll see.
