Bruh....when you TOTALLY ignore all the positive Xbox news - especially as of the last couple of years. you know your opinion is worth doodoo.
I'm 100% Xbox for my preferred platform and even I can admit Sony had a banger generation with some stellar fucking games. You legit just ignore what Xbox has done. Jesus...

Fanboys are the worst, no need to single out specific camps of them.
The sooner folks can get fucking over themselves and stop treating major corporations like sports teams or worse, the better.

I could get behind this, yep. But if The PS5 is the weaker of the two, $500 aint such a good idea.

I agree that Sony are too quiet right now but at the same time they have some of their biggest releases set for this year
I don't think they are distancing themselves. I think they're patiently getting their ducks in order

People forget that OG PS3 cost 900 USD to manufacture and they sold it for 600 USD.

Really? hmm
I remember PS3 having a $499 AND a $599 option.
I also though it was $700 to manufacture

Depends on the games, nobody is paying $599 for the kind of graphics we've seen thus far. Granted we haven't seen much, but I can't shake the feeling that Microsoft and Sony are rushing this one. Yeah I know about how long a generation lasts and I'm not a huge hardware guy (being a Nintendo fan and shit), but this doesn't feel as tight as it did in the days leading up to the PS4/XBone.

Its very much worth remembering that all these costings are entirely speculative.
Final hardware specs are still unknown outside of Sony, and its not Sony making these estimates. So although these analysts can accurately arrive at a figure based on current pricings for a certain bill of goods, the accuracy of that bill of goods is questionable.
Which leads on to another pertinent observation: The only reason this is "news" is because it relates to investment speculation about Sony's profitability a couple of quarters hence. The reason why similar pieces have not shown up about Xbox is that the performance of Xbox hardware is a drop in the bucket of MS earnings generally, and thus of minimal relevance to market analysts and nothing to do with their same susceptibility to component procurement issues.

Fine, Lets go your route. Xbox has had much better news as of late for sure. I mean what - compared to Sony - they showed a logo a ten year old could've made. Or even guesses for that matter... C'mon broski! Facts are facts. Sony has been hiding for two E3's yet. Thats a bit unsettling.

There are fanboys on each side, but one side really has some specials : TimDog, MisterXmedia, Mooch, Blue Nogroho, Astal, Dealer Gaming, Crapgamer

Ok... I haven't seen any discussion of this here (apologies if I missed it) but can we talk about this quote from the Bloomberg article ? "Sony’s Chief Executive Officer Kenichiro Yoshida has said the business should be judged by the number of active users, not the number of hardware units sold." This is seemingly pointing to a massive shift in the strategy from Sony (and a dagger to the heart of hardware counting console warriors).

Sony Is Struggling With PlayStation 5 Price Due to Costly Parts
Scarce components have pushed the manufacturing costs for Sony Corp.’s next PlayStation to around $450 per unit, forcing a difficult price-setting decision in its battle with Microsoft Corp., according to people with knowledge of the matter.

It's not like Sony hasn't been showing games though and TLOU 2, FF7 and Ghost of Tsushima will garner a lot of good word of mouth leading up to the PS5 release

Sony already has good word of mouth. In fact, they'd have to fuck up famously to ruin it. But people are expecting some solid PS5 talk or something concerning their next gen plans. Even with the list of games you named off here, they could still get away with releasing solid PS5 details. People are gonna buy those games regardless.

You forgot Colt Eastwood and LiveWirez lol

And it nearly tanked the company for good.... were it not for them selling tons of HDTVs as people swapped out their old CRTs at the same time they might not exist anymore. They also had to radically re-engineer the system to cut costs and drop the price.
2006-2008 were by no means good times for Sony.

Windows Central Journo Telling People to Follow Homophobic Toxic Gamer
I'm really surprised to see Jez Corden telling people to follow Dealer Gaming. For those of you who are unaware, Dealer has been one of the most toxic gamers in the community. He literally did a video calling Playstation users F@gs and talking about their mothers. Why in the hell would a well...

Oh, yes. These two. Thanks

Dude, this is some ancient shit on Dealer. The dude still runs a legit ,positive gaming channel and his podcast is good stuff. Colt Eastwood is gaining followers like nuts, too. My guy is sitting at almost 100K subs and counting. Different strokes I guess but I enjoy listening to them both.Why i wouldn't laugh at him. Good to know that you support him

Sony has the luxury off being able to talk about PS5 and still sell gang busters on their upcoming slew of games for the current gen. Each one of the games you mentioned are gonna sell gangbusters -- no doubt about it, even if they talk about PS5 now. It won't harm sells on the PS4.
Microsoft, not so much. They want this gen over as its a wrap. Notice Series X is where their investing all their time and conversation because this gen belonged to Sony hands down. Xbox still has a few bangers up their sleeve for this gen but they arent gonna be behemoths in comparison to Sony's upcoming line up. But when speaking on next gen hardware, software and services for next gen, they're very confident. And they should be!

Of course it is. Playstation always ends up having better games. That's way more important than which performs better in DF videos.

Thats not what $400 and $500 means, yoski! How did you even come to that conclusion? $400 and $500 is where people are expecting these consoles to fall.
