With Sony withholding the PS5 Reveal (PS5 Pricing) does it worry you that they want to wait til Microsoft reveals the pricing of the Xbox Series X?
- Thread starter Derktron

PlayStation is very powerful brand. So yeah that might happen. I worked at Best Buy for many years and in gaming as well. I always told customers which one is more powerful and asked questions about what they were looking for or their kids.
Xbox Series S will be closer to PS5 - If Series S exists.
Series X is definitely going to be more pricier. Just like Xbox One X is more pricier than PS4 Pro
That's not a trump card at all. Lockhart needs to be much more competitively priced if it's going to be around 4 tflops, especially if PS5 ends up being $399 like you suggest. And an extra $100 for a disc drive ain't gonna do them any favors, and if someone wants a cloud console then you can pick up an XB1S for peanuts
What? No, if Xbox Series S exists, it is Lockhart which is rumored around 4 tflops. That wont be anywhere near PS5
Sony is always reactionary. Always waiting for MS to do say something first so Sony can react to make it seem "yeah, see, we listen and we're here for the gamers!" Far from it.
Lol yeah that's why Sony revealed the PS4 and PS4 Pro first, so they can react
There are multiple local stores in Finland, for example: https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/45515/ndxrs/Sony-PlayStation-5-pelikonsoli
...and where did you pre-order?
Edit: Just saw your above post, sorry! Didn't realize you were in Finland.
I still don't understand the angst.
99% of people who has their hearts set on these consoles are going to buy them regardless of the official info that comes out.
Just have some patience.

See post above :)
edit. Here is one with more details and pictures of PS5: https://www.konsolinet.fi/product/23829/sony-playstation-5--konsoli
If their competition takes advantage of that knowledge by offering us the consumers a better price point or better product for the same price I'm all for that advantage.
They can def do what you are saying but because it is a new GEN console and they are already doing this "Series" thing because they have a plan for different SKUS, so they won't want to push an old Xbox One S - Although for the first 2 years they will as 1st party games are upward compatible as well.
$499.99
$399.99 - Counters PS5
$299.99 Entry level.
These are mock-ups of course but I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox does something similar.
They want the ok from Microsoft to launch at $500
That's all that is, unless they want to sell at a loss in which case they shouldn't bother being hesitant about that at all.

When did the thread misunderstanding what sony said about the PS5 pricing become a proven fact? No one at sony ever said anything that implied they were waiting for MS to move before they define their pricing.
Why would I be worried about this? People are seriously worrying about a company releasing their pricing for a console at a different date when the console comes out at what is a pretty fixed date either way?
What's with all these worry threads lately? Why is anyone worried about anything these companies are doing. They're not morons, they'll announce what they want when they want and we'll all be stoked to hear about it when they do.

$300 for a streaming only box?
nahh i don't care if it even get delayed to 2021 to much games to play to focus o next hardware. I'm still going to buy it. I don't care who wins the next gen wars I only care about the content.
It's going to be expensive and late in Malaysia anyway, so there's no point in worrying.
Plus the Xbox won't even launch here lol.

Yeah Lockhart does exist but not sure what they are going to call it. That is what I meant. But
It is just mock-ups and we playing the hypothetical game. But a brand new console that is $299... some gamers might go for it.
If that is the case - or if that will be the case - Xbox Series X will be $599.99 .... :(
The title of the original thread was amended because Sony didn't mention anything about the Xbox, so you just decided to make your own thread so you can attribute that statement to them, essentilly recreating the title of the thread that had it's title changed, correct?
Sony will wait and let MS show their hand first as they have already begun to at TGAs. I think they also want MS to go as cheap as they can get them to so that they sell the console at as much of a loss as possible. For example, perhaps Sony is confident at pricing theirs at 500 vs MS' 599 box (for arguments sake) but then getting MS to settle on 550 because they're scared and Sony then going to 450 or even 400. Sony is about to have a much better year than MS in terms of their current gen lineup. With all the hype around FF, TLoU 2 and Tsushima they can ride this wave easily till mid year if need be. MS being the one who has already started hyping their console with stuff like Hellblade won't want to wait longer as they have far more riding on what's next than Sony does. Sony could actually probably delay their console and be perfectly happy. The PS4 is still doing incredibly well. Imagine what a mid year price drop around the time of FF and TLoU would do for those numbers.
Did Xbox One have comparable sale figures to PS4 in the launch window? I was going off of new gen consoles usually selling out no matter what due to demand. (googles it)
Well X1 (I didn't know it didn't have supply issue) had a very bad launch with regard to negatives, I can see it not being as attractive.
Edit:
It doesn't worry me because I decided a while ago to move to XBox next generation. This will be my first MS Console, and I have previously owned every Playstation console to date. It will feel weird to change, but I like what Spencer is doing and I feel MS are doing some good stuff by gamers. I also like their approach of moving their software to other platforms too and I'll be interested to see where their interest/support of software on Nintendo platforms go from here.
Please keep discussion on the topic to the existing thread:
