[Nankatsu]

 

[Zacfoldor]

Is this pure speculation?

"Sony too" wishers getting desperate.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Has Playstation ever released any good news this generation?

 

[GHound]

Is this pure speculation?

Yes.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Lol of course this thread is made after Xbox price increase.

 

[Draugoth]

Is this pure speculation?

$80 games are 100% happening

 

[Lunarorbit]

Where the fuck tents?!? I'm not mizzing anymore masts til I see fuck tents going up on the beach

 

[QLQ]

Or maybe a week later...or (gasp) two weeks later...

 

[jshackles]

Is this pure speculation?

Yes. This is "microsoft did this thing the day after their financial reports, and Sony is releasing their financial reports on this day, so therefore Sony might also do the thing Microsoft did"

 

[noob smokes]

Now were leaking price increases

 

[damidu]

preemptive "sony too" hmm lol

 

[Mownoc]

This is silly lmao. Ofc ps5 could go up in price too but this random speculation it will be announced in time with the fiscal report isn't thread worthy.

 

[Elios83]

Lol this is fully made up.

 

[Zacfoldor]

$80 games are 100% happening

What about prices on PC?

Some games are worth 80 dollars. Especially the highest selling games in the world Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto. Those games deserve to sell for 80 dollars and the PC shouldn't get a price break.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

USA price increase?

Well they ate it last time. Certainly won't be doing that again. Not after Nintendo and Xbox both came out in front with increases of their own. Sony likes to make money.

Hard to tell, at least the publisher (PlayStation,Xbox) would be $80. Third party games could stil be $60 and $70

 

[Cakeboxer]

$80 games are 100% happening

We already have 80 Euro Sony games in Europe.

 

[mckmas8808]

Lol of course this thread is made after Xbox price increase.

Yeah, where's the rumor coming from? GAF?

 

[Mownoc]

We already have 80 Euro Sony games in Europe.

$70 games are usually priced at 80 Euro. When it goes up to $80 you will get 90 Euro.

 

[Draugoth]

We already have 80 Euro Sony games in Europe.

Then it will be €90

 

[damidu]

hey mods, can we lock this "tales from my ass" deflect attempt

 

[Kacho]

USA price increase?

 

[Physiognomonics]

USA price increase?

Likely world price increase to subsidize USA market.

 

[PauloRoberto]

Thread ignored. This SonyToo before any official announcement is simply too much...

 

[FUBARx89]

Already happened in most of the world. So should happen in the states too. We shouldn't be subsidising America.

 

[Spitfire098]

Sony too crowd getting in early today I see.

 

[Kacho]

Likely world price increase to subsidize USA market.

They already raised prices in other markets.

 

[TexMex]

What happens to you if you don't create a new thread every sixty minutes

Conflating the biggest and most expensive game series ever with...a very popular kart racer made in 3 years for less than 80 million...don't be so subtle lol.

 

[adamsapple]

Likely world price increase to subsidize USA market.

That has already happened. They increased prices globally, sans US, a few weeks ago.

What the hell is this about . It's like the definition of FUD.

There is no way this thread exists if Microsoft didn't raise their prices today

 

[DAHGAMING]

Hey guys, what will you be snacking on while watching the Playstayion price increase showcase ?

 

[CrimsonTide]

$80 games are 100% happening

Only Nintendo can be to thank for this. But yes, it is and will happen.

I will only buy 1 game at full blown MSRP, that is GTA6.

The rest will be keyshop/steam prices for PC. Not interested in participating in that garbage of a price for unoptimized, unfinished, buggy AAA trash.

Expedition 33 put the industry on notice on how it can be done.

That crown has already been given, we need to give it a second one

It's just common sense. These tariffs have an effect on virtually everything.

 

[Shaki12345]

Thanks Nintendo.

Never thought I'd see the day.

 

[GHG]

Can I ask where the source of said speculation is Draugoth ?

 

[AJUMP23]

I understand why....but overall.

 

[Portugeezer]

Can I ask where the source of said speculation is Draugoth ?

Microsoft.com

 

[Elios83]

Can I ask where the source of said speculation is Draugoth ?

There is no source, it's pure speculation that Sony is waiting to announce their fiscal results to announce a price increase when they have already announced one less than two weeks ago without waiting anything.
The usual trash thread to get attention.

 

[GHG]

Microsoft.com

Well I did a search and I can't find any thing on this other than the most ridiculously toxic twitter Xbros saying this while high on copium.

Draugoth you got some explaining to do my friend.

Pure speculation based on past Sony behaviour after Microsoft big announcements, but it's 100% certain that they will increase game prices to $80

 

[rickybooby87]

Price increases will come at some point possibly, but, there was reports that Sony was stockpiling US inventory back in February so they might have a buffer, for how long? Who knows. The fact that Microsoft didn't is embarrassing.

 

[corgiix3]

selling intergalactic at $80 gona be a choice
