No, this is what happens taking the increased manufacturing costs into account. Sony doesn't want to lose money on hardware, hence this $700 price tag is not really unexpected. We will see how (un?-)well this thing sells, though. Too many people still think they can get higher end PC performance in a cheap console form. That is not going to happen anymore. Of course that begs the question of what MS/Sony will do with their next console generation. You want RT4090 performance, you pay RT4090 prices.. |
I am guessing you have never been a PC gamer? I and many others here have been building rigs for more than two decades. I find it funny how you believe people are expecting RTX 4090 performance, I know many US buyers can build a nice enough rig for a $1000 and absolutely destroy this overpriced piece of plastic. Sony have forgotten this is a console, and console prices such as this will obviously push some (although still a minority probably) to just spend a little extra. Or some will obviously just buy a slim and let this nose dive sales wise and rot on retail shelves.
