Here's theory? USA was pissed at PS3 costing 600$ The most vocal were english speaking we saw the effects of PS3 get the battle of their life with Xbox 360 for 3 or 4 years and not selling as they hoped and still in store shelfs moreso than Xbox, lost so much money they gained from Ps1 and 2 era. Sony decided not to Price hike it in USA because we would moan again which would send shockwaves like the PS3 back in 2006? But it would be that strong but close it'll dent it with 550$ but won't go PS3 levels of not wanting for mass public? Though the scalpers are selling I think alot of PS5's 1/3 of their lot are kept never used in scalpers hands which is why PS5 software is not super high like PS4 and probably not PS3 software in 2010? Though PS3 barely selling in 2006 I think the software then is worser than PS5? Sony was smart to not price increase in USA?

Just look at the exchange rate to see why the USA is not getting a price hike.

$500 a year ago is now effectively worth $623 for Sony. So if anything, the USA should get a price decrease.
