Just a thought on PS5 pricing, with MSFT putting out their two models at £249 for the S and £449 for the X.....

What would happen if Sony put their two models out at £249 for the No Disk version and £349 for the Disk version.

It would of course cause Sony to lose money (probably around £100) on each console at least whilst manufacturing costs are high but would have the effect of pretty much killing off the Xbox at launch when it comes to people who are on the fence wanting a console.  It would also put massive pressures on production which they simply wouldnt be able to meet which would in turn force people towards Xbox just because thats whats available.  I'm sure sony would recoup their losses on hardware many times over with software sales, subscriptions and peripherals.  I guess lots of these different ideas on pricing are being gamed in Sony's HQ.


Anyway just a thought/pipedream.
