For those unaware, Sony is having a PS5 showcase tomorrow. Now that Microsoft has officially announced their prices for Series S and X, do you think it would be a mistake for Sony to hold off any longer?

Did they officially announce the price for the X? As far as I know they announced the S at 300 but hadn't yet announced the price for the X. Everyone was just assuming it would be 500 so thats what people keep saying.

I think it would be hilarious if Sony announces a price of 450 or 475 and then Microsoft decides to undercut them at 400 or 425.

They are playing two different games. Xbox gets my monthly moola from game pass on PC, Sony gets my money for a system and a shit ton of exclusive games.

Sony is winning regardless, since Xbox isn't really competitive anywhere except North America. Xbox is coming out strong for launch, but once PS5 starts building up the exclusives its going to be in higher demand.

It's really looking like Xbox is winning launch at the very least - there's no way the Series S isn't going to sell like mad this year.

I think this is gonna be another ps3 launch as far as price. I think the ps5 is gonna be around $700 because of the ssd drive or whatever its called.

That's what most people I've talked to have said too. $699 for the larger one $599 for digital only.

Yes. People will not shut up about it.

In fact, Sony doesn't even need to do a presentation. Just tweet the price, release date, and pre-order dates in a tweet.

Yeah, I doubt Sony wants to go anywhere near that price. I still think they'll do 499 for the disc model and 399 for the digital.

SSDs of the size PS5 and SeX are using aren't that expensive. There's no reason for them to price the disc drive model over $500, especially since they don't want to make MS look good.

Yes. It would also mean that they can't open preorders. Xbox preorders start in a few days.

They'll still win. If you got a gaming PC you only need a sony console. If you dont have a gaming PC, you probably want better quality games anyways so Sony win there too.

Xbox pit their exclusives on PC making them not exclusive. Sony and (unfortunately I have to admit this) Ninentdo did very well you keep exclusivity to drive up sales.

Selling Xbox games on PC is a tactic Microsoft are very much doing on purpose. No company really makes that much money on hardware sales. In some cases they even lose money. Selling games, subscriptions and accessories is how they make money and Microsoft does not need you to buy a console to do that. Xbox isn't a brand limited to console sales anymore. It's also a PC app, a cloud streaming service, a video game publisher and a subscription platform.

Xbox series X pre-orders go live on the 22nd, I highly doubt that Sony wouldn't want to get their price out there before then

Why keep it a secret?

If its more than $500 (before tax), then the price is too high. They havent shown us enough proof that the system is worth it. Im not even going to spend $500 on optimism that they will eventually have good games. When I see the release dates of enough games that I want to buy, then I will start considering it, but the PS4 has a horrible game library so they need to step it up.

does it matter? It'll fall between 499 and 599 and any price point in that range won't deter anyone who was gonna get one.

I think people ITT are underestimating Xbox. It's looking like the ecosystem to play multiplats. Plus they're being extremely consumer friendly across different avenues here.

I'm going towards the X depending on what's shown tomorrow for PS and how well Xbox game pass runs on phones as well. I give them before the 22nd when the pre-orders go live. If I'm able to play on phone and on console I'm sold. Exclusives for PS haven't been good besides God of Dad. I tried PS Now earlier this year and it was terrible. Game pass on xbox runs well the only downside was downloading games but it didn't lag or anything plus the games offered are way better.

This would be the first X console I buy. I was given a Xbone earlier this year and gave away my PS4 3-4 months ago to my nephew.

Unlike many people I don't have a backlog I find it hard to believe that a bunch of people will buy anything so far. I'm expecting casuals to move the market first followed by hardcore gamers after more games come out.
