They wont do it, I know Sony, they will rather lower the build quality than to take a loss. They are not worried, people will move quicker from ps4 to ps5 than last time, this is a certainty, 100% sure it will happen. So they are not worried at all, the key thing this generation is backwards compatibility which will improve visuals and performance of current gen games. The other key thing is, Microsoft did much worse this generation, so many will move to playstation this time around. I will bet with anyone any kind of bet that sony will outsell the xbox series X, I am 100% sure. They will rather lower build quality because they know for a fact that the general public doesn't care, how many of your friends have complained that the xbox X has a better cooling system and materials than the pro? Not many, that's why they know its wiser to just give us the cheapest materials possible, while maintaining profits. Bear in mind, materials are not just the plastic, for example the wiiU and xbox X have a better disc drive, by far, when you insert and remove a disc on those consoles its quiet and smooth, in the case of wiiU it even has a light when theres a disc inside, also pick up a wiiU and youll see the plastic is strong and firm, very unlike the playstation. The only time sony invested in quality materials was original ps3 and public complained because of the price, so they know for a fact that people prefer cheap rather than quality. How many people complained that the original ps4 sounded like a jet taking off? Not many, so there you go, they will do it again. |
Lol, then you obviously don't know Sony. They have taken a loss on every single console at launch. Also, the PS4 feels like a quality built machine. Not sure what machine you have been touching. The noise is a problem for some users. However, according to this article, Sony is putting in a high quality cooling method, so that shouldn't be a problem this time around.
As for your above comment on Xbox, if anything, this gen has proven that MS isn't looking to take a loss on HW. If they wanted to, they could have launched the XBO for $399, too, even with Kinect. Instead they didn't. It also took them almost 7 months to lower it to match the PS4's price. This is around the time PS4's BOM dropped to the point Sony was making a profit on each console sold. My guess is MS got the XBO's price to where they were at least breaking even at $399. Likewise, they could have easily launched the XSX at $399 to take on the Pro. Instead, they didn't want to lose any money on it, so, again, released it for $499.
Remember, MS's $ =/= Xbox's money. MS is not going to throw money down a hole to push HW. Especially not when they are focusing on services.
