With SSD's (And not just any SSD, new gen super fast SSD) instead of the archaic mechanical drives, high end PC's processing power, raytracing compatibility and God knows what else, yeah I'd be even surprised if they sell them for ONLY €499. That said, I don't think they'll go above that price cause the idea here is to sell to the masses and not just the few who can afford it. They'll take a loss if they have to.
Personally when I see what happened at the very beginning of the PS3's life cycle back in 2007, I'm glad they are trying again. I really thought the €600 price of the PS3 would totally work as a PERMANENT deterrent against trying: I thought "Put cheap tech in systems and sell them for cheap" was their eternal mantra but I am glad to see they still believe some people will pay for better tech. I for one plan to get the PS5 on day one and I don't mind a €500 or even €600 price tag if the tech actually justifies it.
It's how they do it in the PC world isn't it?
