I have an opinion.
Sony knew the massive backslach they would have gotten, but what they want is to test the actual impact on sales.

If this flops very hard, there will be a price cut and PS6 might cost $600.

But if it's not the massive flop that it could be, and it meets the probably low expectations... there is no going back, Sony is moving on to full Apple mode and Playstation will never be remotedly affordable anymore.

Now that you mention it this whole thing is basicly just pure Apple energy.

Apple has direct competition in Android though. 

Lets be honest, Playstation has fuck all in direct competition anymore unless Microsoft wants to hand the XBox brand over to Nintendo, assuming Nintendo would even want it (they probably would not). 

Sony can charge whatever they want, as long as it's still a fair bit cheaper than an equivalent PC build they're all good and they know it, and that's not too hard either since PC GPUs are priced out the ass. You used to be able to pay a reasonable PC GPU for $200-$300, those days are over too.
