Wccftech speculates that Shinobi's statement could be about the Xbox Series S. It is likely that Microsoft would launch the more affordable next-gen gaming console after the price reveal of the Xbox Series X, the site claimed. Meanwhile, a Twitter user named Tiduku recently claimed that Sony was planning to make the much-awaited PS5 announcement in the last week of August, but it was also delayed.

The tipster claimed that Sony would only announce the price of the PS5 if Microsoft has already announced the price of the Xbox Series X. if this tip is to go by, it looks like both companies are waiting on each other's announcement. Rumors have it that Microsoft is planning to undercut Sony by offering the Xbox Series X at a much lower price than that of the PS5.
