It's obvious that they're desperately waiting for Microsoft to announce the Series X price so they could pull a PS4 and announce their PS5 at around $100 less, but these consoles are supposed to be out in like 2 months and some people probably need time to put some money aside if Sony hopes they get it anytime soon

People buying the Series X probably didn't have the PS5's price affecting their decision either way

Microsoft is waiting for Sony to announce. Microsoft is worth way more than Sony and they can take a loss on every single Series X forever.

Especially when Microsoft is raking in Game Pass and Live money.

Microsoft learned a lot from the Xbox One launch disaster. They know revealing all their cards too early would give Sony plenty of time to react.

The ball is in Sony's court here though because yeah, Microsoft doesn't seem to be in a hurry especially with Halo Infinite delayed.

They're both wanting the other one to announce to undercut the other.

Microsoft does have the advantage with the Series S. Remains to be seen if they can get on parity or under the PS5 with the Series X though. The hardware is a bit pricier than Sony's.

Microsoft can't wait much longer either since leaks seem to indicate they'll be out a week or two before PS5. I think Sony will blink first though.

It would be funny if they just straight up said "PS5 will be $100 cheaper than whatever xbox is gonna be"

Anything higher than that on both sides and the general public will not be interested.

I think if Microsoft can successfully hide the existence of the Series S until Sony reveals the PS5 price, they can successfully undermine Sony. A lot of people would want a cheaper, new Xbox. Not nearly as many people want a digital-only PS5.

Why weren't you already saving money back in June, or earlier?

How the hell does "yeah, $700" or "yeah, $600" make any damn difference then? If you couldn't find any money in June, where the hell you gonna get $600-700 in the next couple months?

Just wait out the inevitable "slim" that be cheaper anyway, with a robust back-catalog accumulated in the meantime.

I just hope they come out with a black/blue model. The white/black will stand out like a sore thumb in my entertainment center.

It will have a distinctly positive effect on the industry if Sony loses this game of chicken, so hopefully they crack first. That will benefit 100% of people that don't own Sony stock.
