I fear this could be game over for the competition if $299 and $499 are real price points for next gen xbox. Microsoft is going to steam roll over the competition.
I don't even know what people are trying to say here. I simply said that the PS3 wasn't a gigantic mess sales wise from the start when it was USD$599, because even at that price it still outsold the 360 launch aligned. They both sold at basically the same rate from day 1, with the PS3 selling about 10% better since it gained ~10 million to essentially catch the 360 over 8 years.when you include the international sales the two were essentially neck and neck. And when you consider that the xbox brand was next to non-existent outside of the americas and the UK, I would have to say the 360 sold pretty damn good.
I know Microsoft was handling it well to repair the consoles, but a fuckup on such a big scale shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'm glad I got one of the later 360 models so I avoided the hassle.And repaired for free ! So what’s the point ? At that time I also had one of the first Ps3s that had the blu-ray died, Sony Benelux never even had one in before , also was repaired for free.
It was a weird gen for me, because my Wii overheated out of the box, they forgot to power the fan
Did it? Because as far as I remember, the PS3 only caught up to and overtook the 360 only at the very end of its life cycle. I suppose they'd have to given that they eventually caught up to the 360; I just got the impression the sales accelerated later on in the PS3's life cycle but I haven't checked the data in a while.The only problem with your take on that is that even at USD$599 the PS3 outsold the 360 when it released. The "Great PS3 Turnaround" never actually happened, it came out and outsold the 360 from day 1, and continued to catch it every year after.
I can't even tell what is sarcasm anymore and then this post in combination with your username
I think you are a fanboy........instead of that you should try to be a gamer.im sony fanboy but with these prices i think ms will kick sony butt this gen imo

I am hopeful to see Xbox succeed this gen, i was merely implying Microsoft has a great opportunity in their hands to compete aggressively and consistently with PlayStation this next generation
The RROD and YLOD were both massive scale failures because they were pretty much the first 2 consumer devices that had the new lead free solder. No one had any idea the new solder would be that bad over time.I know Microsoft was handling it well to repair the consoles, but a fuckup on such a big scale shouldn't have happened in the first place.

What you're saying now and your initial comment mean two entirely different things, but okay.
PS5: Best exclusivesGears Tactics
Cyberpunk 2077 (best console version)
All third parties best console version
That's what I'm excited about.
The PS4 is currently RRP USD$299 - what is the RRP of the PS4 in the UK? That's likely what this will cost.Wow....I will be interested to see what this translates to for U.K. pricing.
Now MS has jumped let’s see what Sony come out with.
PS5: Best exclusives
PC: Best third parties and Xbox exclusives versions
Same. Will attempt to get both near launch.For sure. I estimate that about 10-15% of my gaming is exclusives. Sony studios do an excellent job of that. I'll pick up a PS5 a few years in once it accumulates a good number of exclusives.
So does that mean you're thinking more along the lines of say, $600 for the PS5? If so, I don't doubt that happening either. But PRETTY risky.We'll see. Sony has some custom hardware that's probably expensive. And they have waited far longer than usual to announce their price.
I REALLY don't get why there's a Series S if the She Series X will indeed be 499, which is a totally reasonable price for a next-gen console!
I though the Series S was "neccesary", because of the expensive Series X - to counter it and give consumers a good alternative to a 599-699 console.
If Series X en PS5 are both 499, then I think Series S is dead on arrival.
I think that's what they've wanted to shoot for this whole time. But they could be pressured to go for $500. But I'm just guessing. I was under the impression it would be expensive though.So does that mean you're thinking more along the lines of say, $600 for the PS5? If so, I don't doubt that happening either. But PRETTY risky.

You might be right with that one. Sony is unusually quiet at the moment.I think that's what they've wanted to shoot for this whole time. But they could be pressured to go for $500. But I'm just guessing. I was under the impression it would be expensive though.
Official.
Next gen performance lol. It's a 4 tflops shitbox.
This would be like if they released a 400 gflops Xbox one.
Really puts the con in consoles.
It's more powerful than the One X, which is the current most powerful console. At this price point it's really good.Next gen performance lol. It's a 4 tflops shitbox.

Imagine if DLSS implementation is pretty good then this little guy could upscale to 4K sets pretty nice in some titles.
What?
The consoles arent just gpu's though, it doesnt work like that lol.300 for a 4TF machine? Realistically Sony can charge 600 for a 10 TF machine and still he great value. Because TF right?
