The BOM is based on estimates. I wouldn't put to much stock in both, this news and the BOM. Even though bloomberg is more trustworthy imo, but it's still not a official information.

I called this a long time ago.
$399 is not something to delay and why would you ? Even if People think Sony is waiting for MS to go first so Sony can undercut? Why would Sony even worry about that? At $399 with those specs, Sonys giant grasp of the industry, huge fan base, and covid 19, you have already won this next gen with that price.
If either of these consoles we're gonna be $399, the marketing would be through the roof by now. No other reason for them delaying the price this late.
nah, people just trust that Bloomberg report more than Xboxygen
I can't see the difference being 100$. I I don't think Sony makes that much more money on digital games than Physical.
It's not really insider, the source is from retail (which could have both Xbox and PlayStation info)
They are not claiming to have insider playstation sources.
That's $930 Canadian. Much like the PS3... it'll have an exceptionally slow adoption rate if true.
I used to believe the same, but now I have a feeling that was wishful thinking.
I don't really think any retailer know about the console prices
Sure, but I still feel like this figure would be way more widely reported if it's true. Why would Xboxygen be the only outlet that knows the price of the PS5 and chooses to run the story?
This may end up being the price in the end, but I doubt that they have any sold intel right now
Now that I think about it, Sony offering a disc-less SKU makes me think they did everything to offer a cheaper option because the base price is going to be high.
2006 599 is not the same as 2020 599.
599 in 2020 is the new 399. People need to accept it and anybody who still hopes for a 399 can wait until 2023 to buy a next gen console.
Nah.
Nah. And a disc-drive doesn't really cost that much.
I would put much stock in people that are saying the PS5 will cost more than 499€. Especially if the source is a site called "Xboxygen".
It's Xbox site, but then we had other insiders and Digital Foundry expecting the prices to be around 600 for physical PS5.
That seems suspect. I doubt it's over $499. Why do people disregard the only viable leak we've gotten on costs that said around $450, and that they then doubled orders? That implies they got costs down at least a bit, and the digital editions costs would be lower by at least $30, not counting the tiny bit saved on casing.
I feel like they will be $399/$499 or $449-$499. Everything is pointing to this.
even if $450 was the cost of the physical sku, $499 would be more than enough to make a profit and pay for retailer cut, shipping, etc

Yep, I think 74% of the revenue was digital compared to retail in the last quarter. Could be wrong, but someone could probably check.
Digital is growing rapidly and this means a digital console doesn't make that much of a difference to the companies. It still helps and increases revenue from digital stores, thus they can offset some cost. But I think 100$ price difference is to much.
It's the rumored BOM.
I have the same feeling.
Not yet, give it an hour. They do have one up saying the Series X is $599 with the source being Pringles:
Xbox Series X $599 Price Possibly Revealed Through Pringles' South African Promotion
Pringles may have revealed the Xbox Series X price through a promotion that will only be available in Australia

BRB making a thread..All retailers use a placeholder at this point in time. Nothing to see here.
While true, I don't think it ever had an impact on the previous generations?
I don't remember the launch prices for all consoles obviously, but at least for last gen (and the one before) we had the exact same price tags in USD and EUR, regardless of the (US) taxes.
I think the opposite. If they wait until last minute to announce $599 then that mindshare would spill into launch. IF it was $599 I think they would announce long ago so the outrage dies down by launch and consumers would maybe reach the acceptance phase
It won't be 599€. 549€ Max for PS5 and XSX. They don't even have a killer app to launch with, lol.
I want names.
Nice generalisation that came from ?
Surely it's going to be pricey but the ps3 was expensive due to blue-ray (revolutionary at the time), ps2 chips built in, and a decently sized hdd. Ps5 doesn't have that kind of thing...

Well I suppose the Series X IS basically a giant box of Pringles...
That's bloody fantastic that Pringles of all things could leak the price lol. Such a typically Xbox thing to do!
