PS5, Xbox Series X and the official price: what will be the right amount?
The topic returned to great relevance today, when Amazon UK unveiled the price of PS5, causing panic about how high it is: the figure currently required by the well-known online store is of 599 pounds, which between exchange, taxes and VAT could easily become 699 euros in Italy, perhaps even 749.
It is probably a simple placeholder, if we consider that in the presentation of PS5 we will see neither price nor release date of the console, and therefore these elements of Sony communication could still be the subject of internal discussion.
In the end, it is a matter of pure and simple strategy: the lowest price of PlaySta tion 4 compared to Xbox One contributed substantially to the success of the platform, but it is said that to obtain that figure the Japanese company had to revise its plans and exclude the PlayStation 4 Eye video camera from the package.
In short, Sony has so far been accustomed to playing on the counterattack and wants to continue to have this tactical advantage but Microsoft, thanks to its enormous resources, this time may wish to break the mold and consider a share of initial losses in order to bring in Xbox Series X stores at a more competitive price than PlayStation 5.
The rest this is the narrative that some analysts have brought forward a few weeks ago, when Michael Pachter said that the price of the Xbox Series X will be lower than the PS5 . Also considering the great competitive advantage of the Xbox Game Pass , in this case, we would find ourselves facing a situation is strongly biased in favour of the Microsoft platform.
in The same way, however, the idea of launching on the market a model less powerful and expensive, the much discussed Xbox Series S or Lockhart , assume there will be a marked difference in the amount users than Xbox Series X. Unlikely that the a can cost $ 300 and the other only 400, no?
The game is, in fact, still open, and there will be time to play it: we might have to wait until August to know the price of PS5 and Xbox Series X , and it is probably only then that Microsoft will reveal, finally, Lockhart , the price will have leverage to attract all those players who want to switch to next-gen without investing a assets.
According to you what is the amount that is right for PS5 and Xbox Series X? And which is the most likely? We will have to wait until August to get to know these important details, or someone will move in advance? And Microsoft may really decide to sell at a loss, fighting for the everything to win the challenge of the new generation? Let's talk about it.
