IHS Markit and Kantan Games analysts have told Games Industry that they expect Sony and Microsoft?s next-gen hardware to be priced similarly but higher than the PS4 and Xbox One?s launch prices.
?I expect pricing of both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to be similar, and I think it?s more likely than not they will be higher than the PS4 launch price point of $399,? said IHS Markit?s Piers Harding-Rolls. Kantan Games? Dr. Serkan Toto was a little more specific, predicting a price tag of $499.99.
