Well I believe if they released PS5 for 1000 USD even if a very beefy console, it would totally flop. Too few people would be willing to pay for it even if they end up putting 2000 USD in games later.

A stand alone PS5 at $1,000 would be a terrible decision. A PS5 as part of Sony's Elevated Standards line, that sits as an enthusiast level option, along side a $399.99 PS5 Basic, and a $599.99 PS5 Pro, that would be a worthwhile market. I have said this a thousand times. I don't get why Sony sells enthusiast level products in their Walkman Line, Xperia Line, and Bravia Line, yet we still don't have an enthusiast level PlayStation. PlayStation sells more than the rest of these products combined, and is actually a profitable business, with a very loyal fan base. If any product Sony sells should have an enthusiast level offering, it is PlayStation.

With games being built with dynamic frame rates, and resolution, needing nothing more than additional power to achieve locked performance (as seen with non enhanced games on PS4 Pro, XBO S, and XBO X), you can not convince me that there are not a few million PlayStation Fanatics out their that would not plop down the cash for a PS5 that could deliver uncompromised performance.

PS4 Portable

One Day!!!

PS4Pro have double power than PS4 vanilla, and still you see minimal notable gains. This super premium would have much more power probably 4-6x almost a gen difference. But the games to show it would be very few, so unless Sony do it for mindless profit without concern to have its devs showing it off, there is no point in it.
