“We’re definitely going to be keeping our eyes wide open as we go towards launch, looking at what the competition is doing. But we have a plan and we feel very solid about our plan. We think it’s a winning plan… I feel that we’ve got a plan that can win.”
Asked if Xbox was able to react to PS5’s pricing, Spencer confirmed the platform holder would remain “agile”.
“We’re getting incredible support from Microsoft… they’re very linked into what our plans are. We’re going to make sure we stay agile on our pricing and that we have a good plan going into launch.”

For someone who doesn't consider Sony as their competition anymore or how many consoles they sell, Phil Spencer sure is focused heavily on what Sony are doing with their console. So.... Sony decided to keep a lid on everything they were doing up until the last minute, to give Microsoft no clue to what they were holding so that they couldn't react. This is how Microsoft ended up blinking first; Sony ran the clock all the way down, and now they are ready.
they both kept a lid, no? Just one happened to have a third party leak their info and they reacted almost immediately...no blinking, just side-eye of shock but Sony has always kept a tight lip this gen, even when their ps slim/pro designs got leaked.
