Yeah, it's not like the slim is also $700. |
Not yet.
PS has been testing waters.
Raising standard game full price (I think that one would happen anyway, tho).
Not making any price cuts the entire gen.
Slim is not cheaper.
Raising the price of the PS5 in several places in 2022, then again massively on Japan now.
Raising the Dualsense price now too, without even announcing it.
And now this absurd price for the Pro, with no SKU options for pre-installed disc drive model or even a 1TB model, and everywhere is a lot worse than that $700 price in USA. They don't even give a stand charging that much!
There is no way the PS6 will not follow suit on being "premium priced" if the consumers keep accepting it, there will be no good options, and when that happens it'll be too late to be worried.
