The problem is that the Series X is in competition with the PS5 and the Series S is in competition with the Switch (and the PS5 DE). 

And both PS5 and Switch win in their price point.

By "price point" I'm guessing you're referring to the $200 Switch Lite and $400 for the PS5 Digital.

The Switch automatically wins in price, but from what we've seen the standard $300 Switch is the one most people want. They're willing to spend the extra $100 to get HD Rumble, TV Play, and Joy Con controllers.

For PS5 I think most people will want the Disc version since it is $100 more and they will have that option for discs especially since game prices are now going towards $70, and physical games drop in price just after a few weeks. 

The Xbox Series S and X are in a more interesting position. Since there is a $200 gap some will think harder about which one they want. Now I did mention game prices for PS5 going to $70 and the same applies to both Series S and X, but they have GamePass which makes these consoles appealing for consumers on the cheap.

Of course the market will dictate these prices. Of course for the Switch and Switch Lite people are willing to pay $200 and $300 for those systems. Like really think about this, the Switch is going into it's 5th year and has not seen a price drop. Now the question is later when Xbox's and PS5's will sales slow down because the market doesn't want to buy them at those prices? We will find out possibly next year. My prediction is that in 2 years these systems will see a $50 - $100 price drop.

You slightly missed my point but your overal comment is very interesting
