They will be equal. But Lockhart coming in at $300 would be a nice counter.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I think they both will be around 500. However I could see them making their digital only consoles way cheaper. Maybe around 300. They would make a lot more money from digital sales.

Series S - $299

I am VERY curious if either of them will push past that $500 barrier, since both have been burned by high-priced console launches in the past (Sony with the $599 PS3 and Microsoft with the $499 Xbox One)...

I see no chance.  History has shown us that $499 is too high.  No way they're gonna go above that.  

The very small caveat - if they market some version as a higher-end option than the standard console, it could go over $500.  For example, if Sony calls the diskless version the standard PS5 and sells it for $499, they might charge $549 for the disk drive version.  I think this would be a big mistake, but it's the only chance I see of either of them going above $499 at this point.

I've gone for the highest amount simply because I'm fully expecting to pay £500 for a PS5, which according to exchange rates is $646, lol. Switching those figures around, $500 is apparently equal to £387, or rounded up to £400, but I can pretty much guarantee if it IS $500, we won't be seeing a £400 console here in the UK, it'll be £450 lowest, lol.

Yeah that would make sense. Xbox One X launched at $499 US and we got it for £449.

Saying that, PS3 did launch at £425, so.. it could be lower.

In any case we always get the short end of the stick lol

Do you guys really think a new console, Series S will launch at $299? XBox One S 1Tb is still $299!
XBox One X ended at $399. Series S won't launch for less than $349, yet I wouldn't be surprised it it simply takes the XBox One X's spot at $399.

PS5 all digital $449 likely, unless Sony bites the bullet and launches it at $399 to recoup the costs from digital only sales.

PS5 and Series X both $499.

You're right, it COULD be lower, but since we've already had a console here sold at £450 (Well, £449 as you said, £1 big whoop put it in a trolley!), I reckon both companies could see that as safe ground and reason enough to do the same with these consoles too, lol.

... And like the sucker I am, I'll still pay it day one! :P

Yeah always though that 9 pricing is wierd haha like that £1 would make a difference like .99p. But sadly yeah they kinda set the bar there.

£450 is about my upper limit to what I'm willing to spend on a console, and would imagine most others.

You probably want to get in early as there will inevitably be lot of scalpers on the trigger as soon as preorders are up xP I'm still in two minds whether to buy now or later.

Not having a jet engine during certain games is a plus, hoping there will be some big improvements in emulation as well. That would be cool.

Also the new console feeling as well.... ahhh tempting lol.

Honestly, I'm a little scared with how loud my PS4 Pro gets playing some games, and I've still got quite a backlog... think I'll just be shifting to playing my backlog on the PS5, better performance and no jet engine in my living room is a nice enough plus to get one right away lol :P 

The jet engine is what alerts me to the daily race starting in GT Sport! For some reason it ramps up in the pre race lobby, then when the fan slows down to inaudible the race starts. It doesn't make noise while racing (actually rendering stuff) but sounds like a jet engine during the 'chat' part. I guess the menus run at 1000 fps internally...

It will shut off when it gets too hot, don't be scared to play, but maybe headphones will help in certain games haha.
