| twintail said: I think this really depends on how much the DE PS5 ends up being. If it hits £300, I don't think the lower price will help the XSS much. PS still has greater mindshare, they'll be marketing stuff like CoD, PS5 will be more powerful, and of course many ppl are already well embedded in the PS (and of course XB) eco-systems. Of course, being cheaper is always an advantage, but I think it remains to be seen how important that is going to be. Will definitely be interesting to see. |
The XSX is said to be sold at a loss which means that PS5 at around a similar price would be sold at a loss so the chance of the DE being £300 is very slim as that would require a large loss per unit sold it'd be a hard enough task for it target £350 as not only does removing disc drive not reduce the cost by much it has an expensive SSD in it. Mind share and such are things that shift on the fly PS had it back with the PS2 it still didn't stop the 360 giving the PS3 all sorts of problems fact is very few people are embedded into any platform the majority go with where ever the tide is flowing, affordability was one of the major factors back with the 360 as well.
