Even though the Xbox One X has a fairly fair price for what it offers, this could become a real problem for Microsoft, especially if Sony continues to lower the price of their PS4 Pro.

This opinion was already reached during E3 and is mainly attributed to the performance of the Xbox One X. probably hardly usedShould third-party developers decide that the PS4 Pro remains the dominant hardware, there would be little reason for players to pay 100 EUR or more for hardware on which the games remain technically on par.

ELEX developer Piranha Bytes views this point very critically.Especially if the PS4 Pro price does indeed drop to presumably €350. How will Microsoft justify this price difference then? There's no doubt that the Xbox One X is a good console, but ultimately, the price will likely be the deciding factor.

Whether the PS4 Pro will see a price reduction is currently difficult to say. At the moment, Sony has no reason to reduce its profit margin. However, it is expected that Sony will launch a price offensive for the Xbox One X at launch to offer more resistance.
