The current gaming console market is experiencing unusual pricing dynamics, primarily due to a trade war with China. The PlayStation 5 Pro, usually priced at $700, is now available for $650, while the Xbox Series X Galaxy Edition is priced at $730 despite its lesser capabilities. Microsoft has raised prices for its gaming hardware, yet Sony has maintained its PS5 prices for now. Analysts speculate that upcoming releases and shifting market conditions could alter the landscape further, particularly regarding Nintendo's potential impact with the Switch 2.
Thanks to a bizarre and unlikely confluence of events including an ongoing trade war with China, you can currently get a PlayStation 5 Pro for less than the most expensive Xbox Series X.
Both have the same 2TB SSD storage but the PS5 Pro can run updated games at 60fps with 4K upscaling while the Xbox Series X can't.
Sony has told investors that it had a few months of runway thanks to PS5 inventory that had already been shipped into the U.S.
With competition from Xbox dwindling, the Switch 2 could steal some of the PS5's thunder this year.
