I don't want to spoil it for you, but BOM cost of PS5 is, according to Bloomberg, 460$. And that's without shipping, cut for retailers, R&D costs, and whole logistics.This is all the average user is going to see or care about for next gen ( If they are not already locked to a brand)
XSX- 12.1TF 1TB HD
PS5- 10.2TF 800MB HD
It will be marketed as a 20% advantage in speed and storage. (True or not).
I don't see Sony winning the marketing war unless they have something they have not showed us yet or the XSX is released at some crazy high price because of Lockhart.
PS5 will likely be $399 at most.
So you really expect Sony to "eat" 60$ BOM price and also logistics, cut for retailers and R&D? That would be beyond 150$ per console, maybe more.
Yeah....no way. Sony isn't that financially stable to afford that.
There is a reason, why Sony is waiting with price because of Microsoft. If they knew, their target price is 399$ they couldn't care less about Microsoft.
