PS5 vs Xbox Series X price
Microsoft beat Sony to the punch, revealing the price of the Xbox Series X and the less expensive Xbox Series S. Now that we know how much the PS5 will cost, let's look at how the numbers compare:
- PS5: $499
- PS5 Digital Edition: $399
- Xbox Series X: $499
- Xbox Series S: $299
As you can see above, the PS5 matches the price of the Xbox Series X at $499. Sony undercuts the Xbox Series X with the PS5 Digital Edition, which comes in at $100 less than the one with a 4K Blu-Ray drive.
Then there's the Xbox Series S. At $299, it's the cheapest next-gen console, but remember, the Series S isn't as powerful as the Xbox Series X whereas both PS5 models are identical apart from the disc drive.
