It's $70 off. Still not good enough in my opinion. Ideally Should have been $350.

With PS5, Sony clearly wants to make a profit on console sales as well (unlike last gen).

That's an artificial $70 off though. Going from $399 to $449 for seemingly no reason only to put it on a holiday sale for $379 just a year later to make it seem like you're saving $70 is wild lol. Even came with a stand when it was $399. Reminds me of Prime Day Deals where they increase the price of a product to then "discount" it to make it look like the savings is bigger than what it actually is. 

True. But when your direct competitor (that trails in console sales by quite a margin even in the US) charges 450 for a digital series X, Why should you bother charging any lower? Being the market leader and all.
