I would be amazed if any rational thinking person thought that.

I just spend £1600 on a PC and I don't have an RTX 2080. (Although the 2070 super is basically a 2080 but you know what I mean). I'm going to buy the PS5 next year and I'm expecting it to cost me around £500. Which is a lot more than the PS4 at £350 (It would've been £400 in post brexit UK) but still a big price jump and I would be VERY surprised if it even touched the performance of my PC in any way. It's not a fair comparison at all, Console optimisation included. 

They are made in China, how will Brexit have any impact on console sales? I buy stuff from EVGA, now that will fuck things up price wise post Brexit.

It doesn't matter where they are manufactured. They set the US pricing and base the GBP price off of that.

Look at the new iPhones, they're manufactured in Asia. The iPhone X cost $1000 in the US 2017 (a year after the referendum) and cost £1000 in the UK.   The iPhone 11 Pro costs $1000 in the US and now costs £1050 in the UK. 

Whilst in 2014. The iPhone 6 started at $649 and in the UK started at £539. 

We've never had the correct exchange rate due to VAT and things but usually it was still marginally lower. Like the PS4 costing $400 but £350, or XB1 costing $500 and £450. 

Another example from this year my 3900x is $500 from retailers. Yet It costs £500 from retailers at cheapest. Most are more. 

So if a PS5 costs $500, it will most likely at least cost £500. 

I'm not saying leaving the EU fucks up our worldwide pricing, I'm saying leaving the EU is fucking the GBP's value.
