Indeed and that's why i commented the pricing most likely will not happen,there is ofcourse always a chance it does.

Bolded:That seems to be the reasonable thinking if you want to play with the best performance/hardware yes and with some luck you might get a lot of the older and new console exclusives on PC too.

Well the PS3 was sold at a 200$ loss at the start, so 399 is not out of the question for the PS5.

They also have a strong PSN as well. I actually think SONY gonna shock and do 399

PS3 took a $200 to hit $600.

PS5 will be taking minimal loses as to hit $500.

That's the pricing they are going after.

It doesn't matter if the XSX is also $500, it'll sell normally with that pricepoint.

The problem would be if the XSX was less than $500, which there is zero chance of happening.

A Playstation selling at the same price of a Xbox will likely never be a bad purchase, they have no reason to undercut it, at all.

Sony doesn't want to take as big of a hit like they did with the PS3 at launch. If the rumor is true that the parts for the PS5 are $450 it will likely cost Sony closer to $500 per console when you add in manufacturing and shipping costs. Plus retailers take a small cut per console sold. I'm guessing either $449 or $499 at launch, with the Xbox Series X launching at the same price to match.

$450. But it's more than likely going to be at least $500. $400 isn't happening. $600 is likely as well.

I think Sony takes the hit & sells for $399.

After what we look at this week, feels like 499$ price point is the floor.

I'm thinking $450 - $500.
I'd be surprised if it's $400 but not completely shocked either.

Expecting 450. Hoping for 400 (pls Sony)
