Why do people think the Ps5 costs more to manufacture?!

Any idea what the cost of dram and nand are? 

Couldn't say, fluctuates a lot considering the demand and pandemic. But Bloomberg say $450, and Zhuge says XSX is between $460-$520. So yeah, PS5 will not be $499, I say $449 and potentially $399. The digital could then go $299/$349, Sony could potentially make both Xboxes completely redundant.

That's just the console manufacturing. It increases due to power cord, HDMI cable, Dual Sense controller, Dual Sense charging cord, packaging, shipping, and retailer cut. All of that will add up to $530 at minimum assuming that $450 cost is right.
