When will the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch, and how much will they cost? These are the things gamers now want to know the most. Forget the specs and forget the impressive game demos. It’s precisely availability data that matters most right now, as well as the pricing structure for the four consoles that Sony and Microsoft will bring to market this fall. Let us not forget that this next-gen console push is happening against the backdrop of the novel coronavirus, a health crisis that generated a massive economic crisis. Many gamers might not pay for a new console purchase this year because millions of people lost their jobs during the pandemic. New consoles and new games are not priorities this year, and both Sony and Microsoft know that. Fortunately, we know that the PS5 will come in two options, like the new Xbox. And Microsoft will have a payment plan ready to make the purchase of new hardware seems to be more affordable. While we await the two gaming giants to announce pricing, pre-orders and release dates for the four consoles, we have another set of rumors for you dealing with these issues.
Twitter user Roberto Serrano, who made predictions about the 2020 consoles that turned out to be wrong, is back with a new set of details.
According to his information, the Xbox Series S will cost $ 299 / € 299, or $ 200 / € 200 cheaper than the Xbox Series X. Serrano first said that the Series S would be priced at $ 399 / € 399, but later corrected that tweet with a lower estimate, per First post.

The PS5 Digital Edition will be priced at $ 399 / € 399, according to him, with the regular PS5 costing $ 499 / € 499, just like the Series X.
Serrano also said the new Xbox models would launch in the first week of November, with the Series S to drop on November 5, followed by the Series X a day later. Microsoft may not have announced the actual launch date for the new Xbox, and it’s still acknowledging the existence of the Series S, but the company said that the Series X console will arrive in November.
Sony’s official estimate for the PS5 remains “holiday 2020”, but the leaker says the PS5 will launch on November 13, a week after the Xbox models hit stores, and a week earlier than some of the previous rumors which marks the PS5 launch date on November 20th.

Serrano says this is all based on the “latest news”, which is “more than a rumor or speculation.” But we advise you to take all that information with care. We’ve seen a lot of PS5 and Xbox price and release date leaks so far, but no real evidence to make these claims.
Microsoft is expected to reveal more details about the new Xbox models this week, and possibly introduce the Series S. Sony will soon host another PS5 event of its own, according to various rumors, where data on PS5 availability could finally be revealed.
