Sony has slashed the price of its consoles by $50 across the board during its Days of Play event. As a result, the base Series S is only $20 less than the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. While the equivalent Series S 1TB is actually $30 more than a PlayStation 5. That means you can get a PlayStation 5 and a 24-pack of Mountain Dew for less than the price of an Xbox Series S. The per-dollar price delta is even worse in other markets, such as the UK and EU.
Which begs the question. Microsoft, with all the money you're making, why was this allowed to happen?
