Xbox Series X and PS5 are expected to occupy the console market in the next few years, but some issues [such as cost] still attract fans' attention.
Now, the prices of both devices are clearly predicted. Famous analyst Michael Pachter [Wedbush Securities] said in a chat with Geoff Keighley, creator and host of the famous Game Awards, that the Xbox Series X is said to be much cheaper than the PlayStation 5.

According to Pachter, the PS5 is priced at $ 500 [about 500 euros in Europe], and the Xbox Series X is priced at only $ 400 [400 euros in Germany]. This will result in a price difference of approximately 100 Euros.
According to Pachter, this is the cost of the next generation of hosts
- Xbox Series X: 400 Euro
- PS5: 500 Euros
Pachter clearly believes that Microsoft is waiting for the PS5 price to be announced in order to subsequently lower the price and gain market advantage. At present, this is only a question of when Sony announced the price of 500 euros.
The well-known analyst believes that Microsoft can provide more financial resources, and that this American company is more capable of lowering prices and selling game consoles at a loss.
However, Keighley and Pachter also talked about the technically weaker new Xbox, which Microsoft may offer at the above price. However, the Xbox "Lockhart" has not been confirmed, so we will still refer to the Xbox X series for forecast.
Xbox Series X games with installments?
In addition, Microsoft can bring new consoles to customers through very special offers [that is, installments that include game subscriptions]. Therefore, if you lack cash, you can pay 40 to 50 euros per month, but you have already received game subscriptions such as Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass.
