Forums - Sony - Does PS5 have a good chance to win the launch season?

 

Will PS5 sell a lot more than the rival this Christmas?

Yes 95 71.97%
 
Not sure yet 18 13.64%
 
No 19 14.39%
 
Total:132

It will worldwide but with the Xbox prices it could sell less at launch in the US and maybe certain other places like the UK.

Can we dream with a $470 ish PS5?

I'd have to imagine both PS5 SKU's will be between $399 and $499 USD. Since PS really likes their whole numbers at launch, with the XBSX being $499, I'd guess it's pretty likely that's exactly where they set the prices.

Match XBSX at $499 with PS5, and stay within $100 of XBSX at $399 for PS5 DE. SNY mind share and PS4 momentum will take care of any PS5 vs XBSX paper spec concerns, and PS5 DE value should be enough to sway a worthy amount of the digital only and price conscious crowd.

I think SNY's biggest concern would be XBSS, not XBSX.



PS1   - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.

PS2  - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.

PS3   - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.

PS4   - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.

PRO  -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.

PS5   - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.

PRO  -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.

I don't think so mainly because u don't get any value for money compared to what the competitors are offering. There's no launch games that want me to buy it and with third party games, I rather play it on a stronger hardware.



Who knows now, what I do know is that Microsoft are doing a better marketing now.

I know a lot of people, especially in Latin American countries that thinks that Series S is more powerful than Ps5 for less the price.

I'm not dreaming, but I'm thinking $399 if they want to upstage MS.

inb4 Sony doomed with that low price.

A Series S in a monthly plan is quite disruptive, particularly in the year of the largest pandemic since the Spanish flu. Plus, how Sony will make sure consumers understand that the disc-less PS5 is more powerful than the disc-less Xbox is something I want to know.



God bless You.

It will depend on price. If it is 499, it will win, if it is 599, no.



Dont think this anouncement changed much to be honest. Still got to remember that the x1 will still play all the games at least through 2021, so theres still no urgency to upgrade. Some games will require a ps5 day one. If sony still goes disc $500 and digital $400, they still will win by large margins.
Some are saying now that they want to undercut MS and go $450 and $400. But I really dont think they need to. Would be overkill if they did.

I think they wont sell PS5 for less than 499, they want to make profit.

I wasn't expecting that S price tag, and that can make a lot of original Xbox 1 owners to upgrade, I guess. Particularly those more casual original Xbox owners that only play Gamepass games. Those don't care much about power, discs and they haven't bought a new console for years.

I mean, PS5 still has a great chance here in this launch season, but MS is playing tough now.



God bless You.
