News on the next-generation of video game consoles has kicked into high gear with the Xbox Series S getting leaked last night and Microsoft confirming it is real and is priced at $299. Another leak says the Xbox Series X will be priced at $499 and both consoles will launch on November 10.

UK retailer GAME via a tweet that has since been deleted said Sony plans to make a PlayStation 5 announcement tomorrow, September 9.

"Those awaiting preorders and have Ryi," read the deleted tweet. "Please standby for updates. PS5 have scheduled an announcement tomorrow so things are about to kick off this week."

FINALLY! This game of chicken is coming to an end!

It has gotten ridiculous tbh

I think like everyone else, PS5 DE $399 and PS5 $499.

I think the DE being $399 will provide a pretty big manufacturing loss, I wonder if they can eat that AND have the PS5 at $449 instead to undercut the likely XSX cost?

Now that I'm writing this I'm going to say no, that would actually damage the image and I'd want to push people to get the DE if I was Sony so the cheaper it is in comparison the better.

Well, that's convenient! So, who thinks the PS5 Digital Edition will be $399 and the physical edition is $499?

I do and a lot here think the same... before the dual release I though 399 to 449 PS5, with 2 systems them average 449 with 399 and 499 being the systems themselves makes more sense.

At first I really thought that Sony would have just a $50 difference between the two models, but I think the pressure of Microsoft with the Series S being $299, will cause Sony to bring the digital edition down another $50.

I mean they are going to get Plus subscriptions, they are going to get more Now subscriptions and they have a large library of exclusives to sprinkle out over the lifespan; that they fully own, that will easily make back whatever losses that incurr at launch with the system itself. And let's not fool anyone, those DualSense controllers are likely to be $80 each. That camera is going to be $70 to $80 each. The headset is going to be $100 to $120 each. They have plenty of other avenues to make the money up.

Well the clock is ticking.

They will only announce the price of the digital edition

Qwark (on 09 September 2020)

I am thinking € 550,- for the disc and € 450 for the digital edition.

Well game should be thrustworthy enough, even more after deleting the tweet. And with Series S finally confirmed and priced Sony will go full force.

I'm expecting $499 or higher for the main disc system. If it comes out at $399 or less I will more than likely buy it at launch. If its $499+ I will probably wait until both Spiderman and Ratchet are out to grab a few games with it.
