If you consider a certain lead time of 2-3 months before the actual start of the two consoles, you will over the summer months over the price of the Xbox Series X and the PS5 doesn’t hear much. Both Sony and Microsoft will hold back. If it is after Michael Patcher goes, well-known analyst for the video game industry, then will Microsoft one Hammer price deliver. So you should in Redmond assume that around $ 100 (or 100 Euro) going into business cheaper than Sony. This strategy worked out for the Japanese at Playstation 4.
