We are so f***ed. What if someone gives them the idea of pricing the PS6 at $1,000 dollars? I hope no one at Sony thinks of that.They’re banking on MS dropping out of the hardware race, then they will do exactly that with no one to stop them
Yeah, I can see it costing the same as Pro, but that’s because of Sony charging higher margins vs actual BOM.Im an european, and here ps5pr0 is exactly 2x more expensive from discless base ps5 from launch.
45% stronger gpu, 10% oced same zen2 cpu, ofc 2x bigger ssd but still, price increase in 4 years alone is literally double, and now add another 4 years, which inflation wise very likely gonna be worse (u can see world economy is in the gutter, basically no middle class anymore and ppl living paycheck to paycheck even in 1st world countries).
And rememeber one more thing, ps5pr0 to ps6 will or at least should be much bigger jump than ps5 to pr0, bare minimum we expect is much stronger and newer cpu(zen 6?) more vram, and way bigger jump in gpu power than that tiny +45% pr0 got, it wont come cheaply
After having the Portal for a while, I can't imagine modern gaming without it. It's fantastic.
) They will try to squeeze what they can for that price. Or in the end they’ll go with Xbox Series approach.
I imagine they've had that price hike idea for quite sometime. I wouldn't be remotely surprised at £1,000 for a console now, after the £700 price tag on the PS5 PRO.
The PS portal is awesome though. It's been actually fun playing handheld games game with that thing.
Not really a good indicator of what people are were willing to spend on consumer electronics. PS5 and Series consoles released just when the pandemic hit and everyone was stuck at home; looking for an outlet. Which video games and consoles provided. A better test is seeing how much the PS5 Pro will sell over the next few years.
You guys are just completely ignoring inflation. $600 back when the PS3 launched in 2006 is equivalent to around $930 in 2024 money!
I already have a phone and tablet to remote play, and most people do
...what cuh said lolThe PS5 costs $500 in 2020, that's more than $600 in today's money.
... but if you add three more years of inflation to this price (since the PS6 will probably release in 2027) the price could go up to $650. And if there's another worldwide crisis like war in the Middle East, US boots on the ground in Ukraine or a war over Taiwan, all bets are off.
Sadly my income doesn't follow the inflation.
I have no doubt. If XBox isn't a major threat to them they can also force users to insert a chip under our skin in order to engage with the PS6. The graphics need to be really good for me to sign up for that at 1,000 dollars.
Yeah, probably.
We’re gonna miss the good ol’ days of
