A Final Prediction On The Cost Of PS5 And Xbox Series X: A Tie

It is really weird that we will make it through all of “E3 season” without understanding one key piece of info about the next generation of consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X, when we literally know everything else about them at this moment: the price.

However I do not anticipate that to last much longer. This seems like something that will have actually to be resolved in the next month or so, regardless of Sony and Microsoft playing chicken with one another, daring the other party to go.

There have actually been numerous, lots of predictions about how this is going to go:

PS5 will try to repeat the success of PS4’s launch at $400, ideally undercutting the Series X even if it indicates losing money.

Or Xbox Series X will rather be $400, undercutting PS5 this time, and Microsoft wants to take the hit to prevent what happened last generation.

Or both consoles will be stupidly expensive, anywhere from $600-800, since they are essentially mini-gaming PCs with specs that must in theory make them cost a lot more than that.

At this moment, I do not believe any of those.

Here’s what is most likely to be my final prediction (don’t hold me to that) about the rate of PS5 and Xbox Series X:

$500

For both.

Two things are clear to me at this moment. One is that there is absolutely no other way that Sony prices at $400 this time, based on comments Sony
