I think both Microsoft and Sony if they price the console at $499 are already selling at a loss. I do think that there a good possibility that Sony will go with the $399 for the digital edition. I only think Sony goes $399 if they truly feel Xbox one S is a treat. On the other hand, Sony knows they are the market leader and PS5 is by far the most popular next-gen consoles right now. If you can sell the same amount of units for $50 extra, it makes more business sense. Sony as a much bigger worldwide demand compared to Microsoft consoles. In Japan alone they will have to ship a million more units than Microsoft. Besides, I was responding to a post claiming all digital PS5 would release at $299 & PS5 at $349. |
I agree, but they also need to worry about their price helping the competitor to sell more and thus making it harder for them to sell to that crowd later on.
