PS5: $499PS5 Digital Edition: $399Xbox Series X: $499Xbox 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.
