They're focusing enough on it still to do better than last time I think. Stuff like making sure their console is the more powerful one shows they do still wanna remain competitive in the console space though it is true they care less about console sales than they did in the past.

The prices for the Xbox is better this generation. Last-generation it was $399 for a PS4, while the less powerful Xbox was $499, but came with Kinect. Kinect was unbundled in 2014, which dropped the price to $399 to match PS4. This generation the Xbox Series X is the same price as the PS5, while the Xbox Series S is $299 compared to the $399 PS5 Digital Edition. Of course, the Series S is the weakest of the next-generation consoles, which is how it is so much cheaper. 

Yep the Xbox pricing is significantly better while the PS pricing is about the same with PS5 being $50 more expensive considering inflation and the digital one $50 cheaper. I have doubts the Series S will have much success outside of people in lower income brackets but when it's reduced to $199 it'll be an impulse buy sort of thing for some people.
