Next-gen console prices and release dates allegedly leaked with Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S taking very strong positions against the PlayStation 5 consoles - Notebookcheck.net

If these are the true prices for the next-gen consoles then they put Microsoft in a very strong position against Sony. Neutral customers, especially those on a tighter budget, will be delighted at being able to buy a powerful next-gen console in the form of the Xbox Series S for just US$299/€299. Sony may rely on its strong PlayStation brand loyalty for healthy sales, but you would think the company would be tempted to price the regular PS5 lower than the Xbox Series X due to the difference in perceived power and performance. If the two are priced at the same point, then it seems reasonable to believe that brand-blind shoppers will plump for the Xbox Series X. In these circumstances, a later release date for the PS5 could work for Sony in regard to potential last-minute price-slashing maneuvers - presuming the company would be willing to accept the additional financial loss this strategy would incur.
