So, with PS5 release window, do we think Scarlett will aim to come out at the same time? Is anyone planning to get that on launch? I'm hoping my XB1 will keep me going for awhile yet
@BruceCM Scarlett was already confirmed to launch at that time. I'll likely end up with both PS5 and Scarlett but at launch Scarlett is looking favourite for me, as we know Halo Infinite to be a launch title and nothing of note has been announced for the PS5's launch.
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.

Perhaps they're both waiting for the other to pick an actual date....? If PS5 does that 1st, do we expect Scarlett to go for the exact same or a bit earlier?
I'd imagine both will launch in November like they did last time and probably about a week apart. If anything I'd expect Xbox to announce their release date first as they are kind of on the back foot at the moment. Maybe we'll get more info at the big Xbox event in London next month

The 4/One released a week apart if I remember correctly so probably similar this time around. I'm sure internally the already have dates picked out but not really a point in announcing the exact day this far out. Doubt we'd know that til maybe even E3 2020
@Dezzy
I agree, Microsoft should bite the bullet and sell their hardware cheaper this time. Won't hurt if it is more powerful too. They can take the hit.
While obviously being cheaper would be a boost, I would say having compelling games and the correct messaging is far far more important for them. They've had the cheaper, and in some regards better, console for years now so I think they'll need more than just that.
Yeah I can see Halo Infinite having big pulling power at launch if done well, particularly if Sony don't have a big exclusive of their own and are relying on re-releases of recent PS4 games

I wonder what the chances are of the Xbox One X dipping below $200 this holiday season?

@Magician they're still trying to sell the SAD edition for $250,no chance the X is that low this year lol. I'm sure you could do some wheeling and dealing and only pay $200 out of pocket for one but highly doubt even black Friday they would get anywhere near that number for the X.
@Dezzy I doubt it'll change, it's kind of like the BotW situation. Cancelling the Wii U version of BotW would've given Nintendo a negative spotlight even though the Wii U was a commercial failure.

You're probably right, it'll be interesting though.
The Xbox One X made it down to $400 and the S down to $200 during Black Friday last year. Retailers are aware that PS5 and the next Xbox are on their way. Chances are good Xbox Scarlett will be on store shelves before Black Friday 2020. So retailers may as well offload PS4 and Xbox One inventory during the busiest shopping season.
Core gamers won't be shopping for PS4 and Xbox One during Christmas 2020.
