PS5 February Reveal: 9 Major Rumours You Need To Know

8. Price

PS5 500

The leak states that the PS5 will launch in one standard edition (no initial Pro version, etc) and be priced at $499 USD, £449 UK, €449 EU, and ¥54,999 JP. We've heard rumours of a similar price point so far.

The report segways into a second interesting tidbit concerning the new Xbox launch. To use the leaker's words from the Reddit repost:

"Specs to be almost on par with Xbox Series X (which will be $100 more), and more powerful than Xbox Lockhart (a console that’s $100 less with 4TFlops of compute power compared to the PS5’s 10TFlops)."

To break this down, the successor to the Xbox One X (the series X) will hold the same tech range as PS4 but cost $599. Their follow-up to Xbox One S (the Lockhart) will be cheaper but less powerful than PS4.

If this turns out to be true, it would give Sony a major advantage in this arena.
