Microsoft recently announced the price of their latest Xbox consoles. With the Xbox Series X priced at $499 and the Series S priced at $299, they have placed themselves comfortably in the market. The ball is now in Sony’s Court. While the PS5 and Xbox have their differences, price is always a major factor that affects sales.

Even though Sony announced the PS5 a while ago, they haven’t released any details about the price. Given that PlayStation does have a dedicated fan base, seeing their rival console take over the limelight isn’t settling too well with them.
