I don't understand this perspective at all. For starters, it absolutely isn't a certainty, unless you can post a direct quote from Sony claiming such a price tag. Secondly, the Xbox X is the most powerful console on the market, how is it selling? Yeah, not great. Price point + games = success Power does not equate to success. Currently the Switch is killing in the market place. Remind me, what console is by far and away the weakest? The original Xbox outclassed the ps2 by a long shot, it wasn't even close... Which console sold 150 million units? The Wii was a glorified Gamecube, I guess that sold like the Virtual Boy? Sony will have to find a middle ground with the ps5. They will have to make core gamers happy with power, but yet maintain a price suitable to the masses. $500 isn't that price point, most certainly nothing over $500. I'm guessing $399, though noticed in my earlier post I had a typo where I said $350. I meant $399. |
Sony already stated they are aiming at the harcore gamer with PS5, and the hardcore gamer only. It already implies it will be a more niche product that will let most casual gamers are out of their equation for at least for the first 2 years of the console life until it gets cheaper.
