Why does this matter? Consoles are sold at a loss. What matters is software and subscription revenue or attach rate.
What attached to what my dude?

The PS5 digital edition is already priced at $399. If the redesigned PS5 “slim” will have an attachable disc drive as an option; it stands to reason that a new SKU without a disc drive will be made more readily available at an MSRP of $399 as well.Is the 399 pricing thought to be clearing stock to make room for the slim? Do we expect the slim model to be priced higher than 399?
I'm not going to Avatar bet it because I lost my last bet (even though it technically wasn't a bet), which is why I have the "dickless" tag

September is shaping up to be very interesting considering the highly anticipated launch of Starfield on Xbox side and the release of the Spiderman 2 bundle ahead of the October game release for PS5. Which console do you think will come out on top?
Avatar choices pending and open to suggestions. Avatars must remain for 3 months subsequent to Circana NPD release.
Edit: Please note, this is based off of US sales only
They do, it's just that PS also has a pretty big game for September.According to many, games sell plastic boxes... so we shall see
I voted no. The PS5 will stay on top in September. For the bet I just hope that if I loose there will be enough choices for it not to be clone fest. Please offer more than 2 or 3 like the Starfield date bet.September is shaping up to be very interesting considering the highly anticipated launch of Starfield on Xbox side and the release of the Spiderman 2 bundle ahead of the October game release for PS5.

Actually the Spiderman PS5 that sold out will be part of September salesBut Spiderman doesn't come out until late October. Starfield releases first week of September.

Yeah I realize that now lol. Oh well.
It's really unbelievable to me that Microsoft isn't offering Starfield edition Series bundles. They had special editions for Cyberpunk and Halo, but fumbled with Starfield? How does that happen? The Starfield controller is excellent and shits on Spiderman controller if I'm being honest but you got to complete the set.
A month from launch with barely any promo is pretty stupid as well but what the hell do I know.
Microsoft really don't want to Sell Series X consoles right now They seriously looked at the situation & went into a meeting & came out with a black Series S console that cost just a little under PS5 DE as if they are trying to confuse people into thinking it's the Series X for a cheaper price than a PS5.
I'm not sure when a die shrink is coming but I don't think MS want to sell too many Series X as is until they are cheaper to manufactory.
At Retail Price? I'm guessing Series X but Series S have been sold for over $100 off of the retail price.Which is selling at more of a loss? The Series S or Series X?
I refuse to believe that the price difference between Series X without a game & the price with Forza bundled is really keeping you from buying Series X for this long lolUnless they are secretly planning to have a massive restock, no.
Their inventory management just seems to be shit. Doesn't matter if it's because of the die they chose. They made their bed now they have to lie in it. I would've happily bought a Series X at regular retail price (no not with fucking Forza Horizon bundled, get outta here with your stealth price hike) if it were readily available (in Japan).
I already have a Series S (the price is impulse purchase territory in my books), and plus there is something called "principle". I'm already subscribed to Game Pass like the 99.999% of Xbox owners (there's no other reason to buy Xbox) and I flat out refuse to pay extra for a game that's already on GP. If they had a bundle with an extra 2 or 3 months of GP that I could add onto my account then sure that's providing value but otherwise no thank you.I refuse to believe that the price difference between Series X without a game & the price with Forza bundled is really keeping you from buying Series X for this long lol
Serious question from someone who hasn't had an xbox, do they generally do revisions and die shrinks for their consoles? I know they had the one s, but that almost seemed like a necessary upgrade.Microsoft really don't want to Sell Series X consoles right now They seriously looked at the situation & went into a meeting & came out with a black Series S console that cost just a little under PS5 DE as if they are trying to confuse people into thinking it's the Series X for a cheaper price than a PS5.
