I mean XB1 OG was more expensive than PS4. Why it would be bullshit, is up to choices what maker makes.
People don't buy a console just because it's cheaper. They buy a console because it has the games they want to play and lots of it........XSS won't light the sales chart on fire just because it's priced low. DC had no chance against the PS2 and neither did GC and they were both $199 consoles vs the PS2 at $299.....It's really about the overall value you get from a product rather than if it is cheaper or not......Like I don't see anybody buying an XBOX Series S at $299 over a Digital PS5 console at $399, when the power difference is so substantial, the games look much better, the exclusives are guaranteed, the controller, the audio, the SSD and the console architecture is just more futureproofed and advanced.....These are the considerations people make, when weighing cheaper products vs more expensive ones....They cant go higher than 499. Otherwise people will just buy Xbox Series X
You are very wrong: https://venturebeat.com/2013/11/29/...sts-381-and-why-this-matters-in-the-long-run/It was cheaper to manufacture than PS4, the GPU was less powerful and it used DDR3 as a cost saving measure, Microsoft was likely at zero profit/loss from its release and started to take small losses when they ditched Kinect.
even at $600 the ps5 would outsell the XSX like crazy.

"Safe costing measure" You haven't been around back then? Never head of how Sony got lucky with 8GB of GDDR5? Good times.
The OG XB1 also came with Kinect. The price went to 400 after dropping Kinect in June 2014 then again in November the price dropped again to 350.I mean XB1 OG was more expensive than PS4. Why it would be bullshit, is up to choices what maker makes.
I dont like both of them but we do have evidence in the past where he made up rumours about the ps5 performance because he felt he had to "even the odds" because that week microsoft was getting lots of bad press revolving around xbox, halo etc.Not even close to trumps. You guys are ridiculous . Anything to discredit an opinion or someone u dont like. Its honestly pathetic.
Im going to agree with his estimate. 550 to 499 for the disc version.
People forget that we have had two generations in a row where the weaker console was more expensive at launch for inclusion of features or hardware later removed. (yes ps3 was the weaker console and xbox one was weaker.)
Might not be the case this time but sony has always thought its brand was premium. Anyway two days away.
Well but that does not change the situation that chip alone was more expensive due to eSRAM...thus worse yields and etc.The OG XB1 also came with Kinect. The price went to 400 after dropping Kinect in June 2014 then again in November the price dropped again to 350.
The chip was but not the entire console.Well but that does not change the situation that chip alone was more expensive due to eSRAM...thus worse yields and etc.
MS simply had to take the L and eat that money.
Sure it was not, however like I posted above the article, that cost of the whole console was more than PS4.The chip was but not the entire console.
Yeah because that cost INCLUDES the Kinect...Sure it was not, however like I posted above the article, that cost of the whole console was more than PS4.

the guy dug his own hole
He doesn't leak silent hill it was different person.lmao didnt half this site suck his dick just yesterday since he was "leaking" that silent hill was in development, how the tables turn
Please lock this thread
No point in having a thread about someone's opinion on the price.
Microsoft’s Xbox One costs bout $471 to make, compared to $381 for the PS4. This naturally explains why Microsoft is selling the Xbox One for $500, while Sony is selling the PS4 for $400.Yeah because that cost INCLUDES the Kinect...
Both these systems are going to struggle mightily at $499. If Sony is thinking a penny over $500 they may as well not even show up. We've already seen this show with the PS3.
No way Sony is making the weaker console more expensive. My prediction: 449 and 399.
so lets censor opinions? nice.

Yet, I agree that Sony won't price the console at $599, they did some research on that. So even if it costs them much more than to manufacture than the XBOX Series X, I expect the high point to be $499.
Dusk golem lied about the ps5 performance wise and admitted that he made it up because xbox was getting bad press that week and wanted to make things "even" hoping other people would catch it and spread it around
Not true. He explicitly refuted those claims you are making and doubled down even.Dusk golem lied about the ps5 performance wise and admitted that he made it up because xbox was getting bad press that week and wanted to make things "even" hoping other people would catch it and spread it around
If it cost 600$ the ps5....
I can say good bye and welcome to PC gaming
That must be a "Cheapass" PC you have for gaming!
It won’t be a penny over $499 because Sony arent that tarded
Last gasp attempt at getting attention before the truth gets revealed.
Wrong on all countsThis dude is just an attention whore. Nut-job admitted to making up shit to balance the news between Microsoft and Sony. Of course his crazy ass posts on REEEEEE.
Wrong on all counts

"It's really about the overall value you get from a product"
Game Pass + EA Play + NO online on payment (in the future) + Halo in 2021 + all first party on GP on day one at 299$.
249$ in 2023.
Are you two from US? Because from European viewpoint that sounds ridiculous.
Just so surreal that to some the situations seems to be seriously "people can get either one, both are feasible options and minor things can turn the heads to either one"
Because in reality xbox is almost non existent in many countries arount the world, like yeah they sell them, but there are no advertising and almost all console gamers have Playstation.
And console + gamepass+ all that stuff isnt 299, their deal were 25$ month for 24 months = 600$, so 150$ wasted to online service / year. And assuming that this monthly plan is cheaper than buying 299$ console + paying for those services, it is probably even more.
If people want cheap console, they just buy PS4, then buy games for 5-20€ and pay 40-60€/year for ps+.
If they want next gen, they probably get PS5 instead of more expensive xsex as majority already have ps4. (outside of US)
for 150$ you can get many games from sales/used, enough to play. Maybe for Americans it sounds like a good deal but no one I have asked thinks it is smart to pay for something you dont really need or can use, like having multiple video services if you have time to watch only one.
Only way here to make people buy xbox instead of ps5 would be some SUPER major fuck up by Sony.
Even at stores that sell games = 60-80% are PS4 games and rest are divided by switch/xbone
And xsex seems to cost 599€ here so it is DOA, even at 299-399€ it would probably sell les than 499-599€ PS5, that is how unpopular xbox brand just is.
Just weird how some people still believe that "fight" is somehow equal when most polls show that 70% or more are going to get PS5, and casuals usually follow what is popular.
