I know, it is insane...I am kind of worried on the price of the PS6, etc. if the tariff situation hasn't been corrected by that time.

I reckon it will easily be around 599 maybe, it has to reach the masses and even though 599 isn't cheap its a different world now post covid times.

Taking a machine that is struggling to sell and raising the price seems like a really smart business move

I have to chuckle at the usual suspects turning a thread about Microsoft raising prices into a discussion about building PCs to beat a ps5.
It's an obsession with them

Pure obsession.

He can downgrade 7600X to 7400f and upgrade 7700XT to 9060XT 16GB. With that, better experience then PS5 Pro in most games for not much higher price.

These pc part picker bible bashers are so obnoxious with their constant need to convert console players, or more specifically PlayStation players, over to windows. As has been said many times before, when a pc is just like a console experience, preferably without any windows involved, then you may stand a chance.

Have to agree, especially since it doesn't even matter what the topic is in some cases. Like, for example, seeing it yet again in a post about Xbox prices increases. Console players are already well aware of the PC option and repeating all the benefits ad nauseam isn't going to shift that preference.

And as i mentioned before, I find the fake PC gamers obnoxious. PC gamers just don't do this kind of thing because there is nothing in it for them. Only Xbox customers would try to harm console gaming to take the rest of the industry down with them. If they are going to go on a suicide pact they can do it alone, leave the rest of the industry out of it.

lol, lmao even

Does Microsoft think that if you raise the price enough, you will make back the revenue that you lost by not selling enough consoles in the first place?

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

If Microsoft have been selling at a loss per device. It's likely that they have realised that they will now never recoup hardware costs. Thusly, have now resigned themselves selling at the true cost of the hardware so they stop losing money per sale through the end of the current generation.

What are you talking about? My comment has nothing to do with your opinion that only fake PC gamers do this. I wasn't even replying to you. I don't care who is doing it or what their motives are - it's annoying when anyone thinks their preferences are the only or best option and that applies in many areas besides gaming.

I am talking about "PC gaming is so fun! Playstation sucks!" posts. No one who truly play on PC ever cared to fight Playstation. So it is just Xbox customers being the same kind of liars as the ceos they worship so much in trying to harm the gaming industry just because they lost. There are some words I really want to use to describe them but it would likely be marked as hate crime by the mods if i try.

I don't pay much attention to XBOX related things, but I'm not sure if I could tell you the name of this generation and last generation without having to think about it for a little bit.

He can but who cares? He certainly does not. We know why he is pushing this narrative.

 

[Bojji]

That's how reaction to truth looks like.

So he is MS fanboy? I never paid attention to this guy so I don't know. Fact is, console prices got so ridiculous that now even PC parts look reasonable (that rarely happened before, you couldn't go close to PS5 power in 2020 for ~500$)

I would be willing to bet prior to MS changing their philosophy, he has no PC tweets.

His PC prices are still higher than a PS5 Pro. Consoles are getting more expensive and I do fear the casual/mass market is going to get priced out. However, I do not believe "build a PC" is really the answer for most console only players unless PCs get as simple to use (SteamOS/Win-Lite) and actually cheaper than consoles. I expect most of those console players will move to the next simplest devices they already use like phones/tablets.
