Now that we know the specs, let's talk about price

The specs as we know it: note that PS5 stats are actually "up to" and will get lower if game is using both CPU and GPU to the max. Only 10GB of RAM on XSeX is as fast as shown, 6Gb are at 336GB/s. (thanks @SGRU ) On the other hand, SSD on PS5 comes with anti-bottleneck secret sauce and could in...

For those saying $399, Bloomberg reminder

Sony is struggling to keep costs down on the PlayStation 5 as the console hurtles toward its big debut later this year. Bloomberg is reporting that the cost to build the machine has risen to $450 per unit, a big increase on the PS4's $380. The financial outlet's analysts are saying that the sticker price for the new console could be close to $470, which could be a hard sell for cash-strapped buyers.

The report says that Sony is struggling to secure DRAM and flash memory in the quantities necessary for mass production of the unit. And the PS5's component costs are higher than other machines because, for instance, it has a pricier cooling system to avoid its internals from boiling. Bloomberg's sources also say that we can expect a new PSVR headset to debut either alongside, or shortly after, the PS5.

My bet
PS5 $499
Xbox One Series Sexy $499
Sony DOA

Sure MS have a larger apu die, but most of the other specs are the same this round, the ram, the ssd, the connections.

MS also have the benefit of licensed memory sticks to eat the bom

MS will eat the die costs helped by memory cards.

Sony overclocking the GPU will stack on the cooling costs.

You sure Sony can go $100 lower?
