What would come to €539? Standard PS5 or PS5 Pro, because they're not the same product.
The standard PS5 digital would be €539 today at most if you take inflation and the weaker Euro into account. But that price completely ignores the fact that component prices are way lower compared to 2020 and is thus way cheaper to manufacture. The Pro is a significant premium in price once you take those factors into account.
People always say this same thing everytime yet look at the PS3 store still standing after we complained....Look at Concord after we complained,we are literally dancing on its grave not even a month after launch. Things can change but people are wired to be sheep and accept what their corporate overlords tell them. No wonder all these companies got so greedy.
If you could provide a complete breakdown of components and production cost, I'd more than happy to read it.
This is not correct.
It's hidden on every video nowadays.Oof that's shameful for hiding it Sony.
This. Thiiiiiiis. It's not that I couldn't afford it (hell, I'm like one of the dozen people that got a PSVR 2). But I have a hard time justifying it. If/when the price drops, I'll probably upgrade.
But they're currently selling PS5 at a loss apparently, so this can't be true.
How much is PSVR impacting this? Sony absolutely sold way less than expected, even at a sale price. There is more hardware at work here than just PS5.But they're currently selling PS5 at a loss apparently, so this can't be true.
I was going to write something similar to this, but the comment is perfectly put and concise so there the only thing I'd add is barely any games that would improve performance wise.
Could be, totally. Good point.
i wouldnt mind if they keep the price but at least add the disk drive ffs
Doubling frame rate without frame gen dlss etc will require you to go 2 tiers higher for GPU.
Do you guys seriously believe components haven’t become cheaper? Despite such price drops being very visible in the PC space with SSDs and memory (GDDR6 is a fifth of the price vs 2020) being way cheaper vs what you would pay in 2020? Is Sony immune to these price changes? How is Apple and Nvidia of all people able to offer substantially faster products today vs those same products in 2020 and all for the same price?But they're currently selling PS5 at a loss apparently, so this can't be true.
It for sure doesn't. And if you don't care, why arguing in the first place or stating "muh enthusiast" .
That plugin is absolute bs
Why are you arguing if you have no interest in PS5 Pro?
Weird pricing for sure.how tf its 700 dollars and in europe 800 euros..... anyways hardpass
Upscaling muddies value prepositions.
You said "way" cheaper. That is not the case. Certainly not to the point that Sony is actually making money on the base PS5, which isn't up for dispute considering we have the IR documentation to prove it.
Then buy a second hand console.
4 years ago Nvidia released the 3070 for $499 with 8GB of VRAM, today you can get a 4070 for $549 with 12GB of far faster VRAM and a GPU that is 25% faster. 4 years ago Apple launched the iPhone 12 Pro for $999, they just announced the iPhone 16 Pro now for $999. It also has more RAM, substantially faster processor and GPU on the most cutting edge node from TSMC, and further improvements across the board. AMD launched the 6900XT in 2020 for $999 The 7900XTX launched for $999 almost two years ago and can be found for around $899 today. It offered 50% more and faster VRAM, and a 50% faster GPU.
