It may be old hardware, but not much of that hardware actually got much cheaper over time, and many parts are actually more expensive to source nowadays as they were 7 years ago. Keep in mind that most consoles got cheaper not just due to cost of electronics dropping, but mainly because those consoles have a reduced set of hardware compared to the earlier iterations. That's something that won't really happen this gen for any of the 3 consoles, hence why neither will have any price drops this gen and instead the prices are going up, as the "slimmer" PS5 showcases. |
There's no increase in Europe for both models, the Digital is getting a price increase in the US (don't know why) but the disc will be the same price.
I can understand the increases in Japan due to the low yen exchange, they shouldn't have done it, but they did it anyway.
As for the Switch, 7 years in and no price cut, don't know why people are still expecting a price cut when the entry level Switch is $199.
