I have a feeling they were planning on launching shit at like $600 but then Covid hit and now their finance teams are scrambling to see if they can afford to sell these things sub 500

Didn't someone run the math from a Halo+Doritos/MtDew contest and come to the conclusion that XSeX is gonna be $599

I've heard some speculation that the prices are going to be pretty high, and part of this game of chicken has to do with "how much loss are we willing to take compared to the other guy." It's making me even more curious about the final price point.

Microsoft seems woefully unprepared software-wise. They put all their eggs in one basket (Halo Infinite). I half expect them to pull some last minute shenanigans with next-gen exclusivity in something like Cyberpunk.

I know there were a lot of seemingly legitimate leaks that suggested that Sony was aiming for $599 because the SSD is so expensive.

Pretty sure that is true at this point, I said fuck it and bought a switch.

That and my PS4 backlog will keep me busy until this shit is sorted and they have all the bugs worked out.

I wanted to put a joke here about early adopters and foldable smart phones, but Ill relent

Well they're both supposed to come out in 2020, right? And 3/4 of 2020 is already over.

Holiday budgeting.

Sony will cave first though since preorders are already being reserved.

I thought that was signing up to be notified immediately when they're accepting preorders. So you still have to scramble once the notification go out. Or am I misinformed?

You've entered a lottery for the privilege of preordering. Not everyone who signed up will get the notification. Yes you will have to scramble or they will give your spot to someone else.
