Sony, known for its dominance in the console market with the PlayStation 5, has begun to implement a series of measures that indicate a direct response to the imminent arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled to launch this year. In a move that has surprised many analysts and consumers alike, the company has significantly reduced the prices of the PS5 and PS5 Pro, actions that previously seemed unthinkable. This price adjustment may be aimed at countering the anticipated cost of Nintendo’s new console, which is estimated to be around 399 euros.

As we approach the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Sony’s price changes could set the stage for a renewed battle in the console generation, where Nintendo emerges as a more serious contender than many had anticipated.

Isn't this how business usually works? The PS5 has been undiscounted for the longest time in console history to my memory. I can't think of a console that was selling at full price 5 whole years after launch.

Is this official?
Anyway, makes sense.

And also lol @ the knee-jerk reaction and "Sony monopoly" narrative from a certain part of the gaming community, think Sony would be left unchecked. If true, that is.
