Depends on what the xbox series X comes out at.
If the Series X is 599$, that ll make that PS5 digital seem like a steal at 399$.

Also PS5 DE only $100 / £100 more than a Series S for a much superior spec console and with killer exclusives.

OT

FFXVI stole the show for me and also GOW: Ragnarok announcement for next year. Demon's Souls Gameplay was good too and Spiderman: Miles Morales. Excited, looks like a tonne of stuff to play over this year and the next.

With all due respect... i think Series S is DOA at $299, the diference in specs is just too big, the power gap is huge! I know the claim "granns and parents will just peak the cheaper, they don't know about specs", but kids are well informed and they will come and say "i want PS5". Parents are not going to just buy xbox when the kid asks PS5...

Not sure I've ever played a Devil May Cry game. My reflexes are shit.
But that looked pretty good.
I don't want Digital though. Odds are I will suck hard so I rather be able to give it away/sell it when done.

I accept donations.

FFXVI is only timed exclusive looks like, not fully exclusive.

that was an amazing showing imo, but it's a bit sad we still don't have a clear picture what the launch and near launch (in 2020) games are

That was a good showcase. A lot of it was just updates of previous stuff shown off last time but there was also several new things and it feels good to finally get prices and a release date. The prices were expected but they're still good. Sony is for sure trying to push people towards the digital one hard. My favourite part was the surprise that Demon's Souls is also coming to PC! I really thought it was gonna be an exclusive.

Is there a source or particular reasoning behind this thought? 

edit: apparently text hinted at it after the trailer

No date or exclusivity mentioned unfortunately.

Exclusivity doesn't need to be mentioned for a PlayStation Studios title of a PlayStation owned IP.

Of course it does, could be a PS4 title as well (yes I know it won`t be), but the date part is the important part. And since it is a remaster/remake it could be near launch but would be good if it had the info over there.

I found it disappointing with the price as it has the weaker hardware and only 2 games that's worth getting at launch which are exclusives

"Weaker". But faster.

In real world performance, we don’t yet know how much the extra TFLOPS the XSX has over the PS5 will affect overall performances. For all we know, the XSX was will have a slight advantage on visual fidelity, while the PS5 will have the speed advantage with games having less pop-ins and loading faster overall.

TFLOPS don’t tell the complete story. 

But you were always going to be disappointed no matter what Sony brought.

399$ + 499$.....

if the xbox series X comes out at 599$? that ll make the 399$ digital PS5 very attractive.

Prices were already confirmed for Xbox, Series S 299 and Series X 499.
