PS4 450 and XSX 550. If both want to lose even more money 400 and 500.

No way.

Because you didn't understand what I wrote?

Not at all.

XSX does have a dedicated audio chip, same as PS5, but we don't know how the specs of XSX's audio chip compared to the PS5's audio chip. From what I heard, the PS5's dedicated audio chip is as powerful as PS4's Jaguar CPU.

Going to play semantics. It's not an audio-chip, it's an Audio-Processor integrated on the APU, basically a successor to AMD's True Audio.

It's processing capabilities are also highly specialized, so whilst it might have the same "theoretical" performance ceiling as a Jaguar CPU, it's not going to be capable of running the same processing tasks as the Jaguar cores are good at everything. (Relatively anyway.)
And that is in stark contrast to the Audio block only good at a singular thing.

is the 1.5 Tf difference significant?

1.87 Teraflops.

I expect Sony to take a hit and launch at $399. MS has the more expensive machine and doesn't want to take a huge hit, so will launch at $499. And if we get that difference in price, and PS5's start flying off shelves, MS is going to pull the trigger on the $299 Lockhart.

About the discussions on the controller cost.
From ages controllers have been costing less than 15 bucks to manufacture and selling from 50 and up, I don't really expect that to change or worse for DS to be 15-20 USD more expensive to make than Xbox Controller. You can bet MS was all smile from anyone buying their elite controller with that hefty premium price.

Except for CPU clock speed and GPU tflops, PS5 has many advantages.
Certainly the price gap may not be great.

Knowing what we know I'd say they'll launch at the same price. Even if the Xbox is a bit more powerful, Microsoft should know that the majority of players (who are on the fence) won't be willing to cash out more for that little difference in power, especially with Playstation being the more popular brand by far in Europe and maybe also the US after this gen. Playstation might actually have a better shot at succeding at a slightly higher price, but I don't think they'd go for it intentionally, so I can only see it happening if Microsoft are willing to take a big loss per console and underbids them.
So if they share a price what will it be then? I'd say 500.
Could be 450 if they're trying to push the new hardware a little faster than usual, but an even 500 seems more likely I think.

Sony actually sold the PS3 at a loss. As a result, (based on the internet talk of the day) it cost them all of the profits from the best selling console of all time, the PS2. We were actually afraid for the future of Sony with threads about stock prices, bankruptcy, liquidating property, etc. 

Sony has more revenue streams these days from PlayStation Plus, PS Now, and maybe a few more that I'm forgetting. But I don't think they are more equipped to eat the profits on hardware than M$. Even the PS4 was said to be profitable on day one.

They didn't profit from day one.

PS4 sold at about 50USD loss per HW, which break even with 1 year of PS+ and one game sold.

Guess I'm remembering it wrong. I am getting old, you know!

*Edit* I'm Probably remembering some other article like this one: https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/155521-playtation-4-sony-announces-the-ps4-wont-be-sold-at-loss

I googled it and most said what you said, though.
