No.... this is not 2006 and the PS5 is not going to be a $600 console in a space where there is a cheaper $400 console available. I cant stress enough how important this is. The people that buy in the first year mostly are the early adopters. If the console comes in at $399/$499 and is BC with the PS4 then all those early adopters not only have no reason to wait before buying they also have no reason to hold onto their PS4. Especially when you consider most will be in a position to trade in their old console. No matter how much sony drops the price of the PS4 buying used will still be cheaper, and there will be a lot of used consoles up and about. That is going to really impact hw many new PS4s sony will be able to sell at that time. |
I never said it would cost 600. 500 max, 450 is also possible. I wouldn’t bet on a 399,- price this time, especially when it has full BC. This goes for both manufacturers btw.
