What does the PS5 need to fix or improve upon?

Those are normal prices. The reason the prices jumped on the XBS consoles was because MS are no longer subsidising the cost to sell the hardware. It's not about MS "being bad and greedy" with prices. They just priced the consoles at breakeven cost instead of at a loss. Nothing wrong with that from either MS or Sony

I'm not buying that Sony is selling PS5 at a break-even price or even selling it at loss, and even if it is, I have no reason to be happy about a console costing at least roughly as much or even more than at launch over 4.5 years after launch, especially when even the inflation-adjusted launch price was up from that of PS4. I also have a hard time believing that inflation that had a greater effect than falling manufacturing costs, as tends to happen during console lifecycles. That I haven't checked though, because I'm not sure where to look, so it would probably take uncomfortably long to investigate that and it's just not worth my time.

It's fine if you're not happy with console prices in general, but I don't see what that has got to do with Sony as the PS5 is very similarly priced to all the others consoles. Do you want Sony to significantly undercut the Switch 2 and XBSS? How would they do that when the PS5 is far more expensive to make than XBSS and similar in cost to Switch 2?
