| Dulfite said: What are we going to do if the shortages stop and both Xbox Series and PS5's go up in proportion to where they are now? I feel like so many expect PS5 to crush XBS in that scenario that they aren't even open to the idea that Gamepass + major acquisitions offsetting Sonys mid major or minor acquisitions + PS games being more expensive for purchases may have increased the value of the XB brand to put it on equal footing with PS. |
We would be shocked because the precedent from last gen hasn't flipped. Xbox is more competitive and has gained ground but they're not equal. If you look for a PS5 thats been scalped and is being sold, it's notably more expensive than a Series X. A lot needs to be done to undo Playstations 2:1 advantage over Xbox and Playstation has had a stellar 15months with the likes of Spiderman, Horizon, GT7, Ratchet and lots of lessor but highly rated/million sellers like Kena, Deathloop, Demon Souls, Returnal, Sifu. It's highly unlikely that Xbox is in more demand.
Anecdote: Just done a quick search for both platforms on Game UK; Series X/S are both in stock. PS5 is not.
