Sony is lagging behind a competitor with the announcement of data on its console, but it could play into the hands of the Japanese. Now that the price of the new Xbox is known for sure, the company may be trying to capitalize on the console’s lower cost. Some insiders surethat the PlayStation 5 is cheaper to manufacture than the Xbox Series X, and this allows the price to be reduced by $ 50 (or even more) compared to the competitor.
This, by the way, has already happened: during the presentation of the first PlayStation, the company reduced the cost of the console by $ 100 in comparison with the Sega Saturn. Whether Sony will risk it this time – we’ll find out very soon.

At the moment, Sony is more focused on demonstrating the key features of the new console, and devotes much less time to games. The announced titles, although interesting to the players (how can you get past Demon’s Souls or Horizon Forbidden West?), Do not correspond to the assurances of “the most powerful starting line in the history of PlayStation.” But if the presentation shows, for example, the continuation of God of War or the new Uncharted – this will give a huge advantage over the Xbox.

In addition to the price, Sony also keeps a secret and the release date of the PlayStation 5. It is only known that it will be released closer to the Christmas holidays, and insiders suggest that the console will hit the market a week after the release of the Xbox. This will give Microsoft an advantage: there are buyers who don’t want to wait. But if Sony launches consoles on November 10 or earlier, it could take away some of the audience from a competitor.
At the moment, Microsoft has a slight advantage: the company managed to announce the release date and prices of its consoles, moreover, it presented a budget model Xbox Series S that can attract a wider range of buyers than the older model. It won’t be easy to win, and we’ll find out very soon whether the Japanese giant can cope.
