I will rephase the question, In this console industry, when was the last time a console went up in price due to its heavy sales? The fact that one of the key things you are choosing to ignore is the fact these consoles are selling out which means the brands revenue is going up which means they are making more money overall. Straight up price hiking while having a top selling item is taking advantage of the consumers. Whether you want to believe that or not, you wont be convincing me otherwise. Sony know regardless of the price, it will sellout due to customers or scalpers. It isn't rocket science as a business, its extremely strange and questionable when their direct competitors are staying the same and have to put up with the same world wide issues. |
Lol, you do understand how business works, no? Making as much money as possible is kind of the point. If consumers will pay it, corporations will charge it. I could be wrong, but let us pick on the Switch... have you ever seen a console in 5.5 years not drop in price? Is that taking advantage of consumers? Do you believe Nintendo couldn't financially afford to drop the price of the Switch? Edit Based on a quick internet search the Switch costs $250 to make..... 5 years ago. I'm guessing that cost has come down significantly over 5 years. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is making more money off hardware then Sony is. |
You understand that maintaining a product price is different to raising a product price right? They are not the same thing.
