| UnderwaterFunktown said: If not for their fumble with the Pro I would say it was in the bag. As it stands I still think it's likely enough particularly because I don't think they will necesarrily release the PS6 in two years when it comes down to it. The wheels are slowing down, PS4 is still getting a decent amount of support and a PS6 released in 2027 would not be any huge kind of step up realistically. When hardware is sold at a loss (give or take) I'm having a hard time seeing why they wouldn't take at least one extra year with the PS5 before moving on. |
I ask this genuinely. What fumble? They made an expensive product and charged a premium price. It only got the enormous backlash it did because Sony was the first to price a console at 700$. If it had come after MS pricing the XBSX at 730$ there wouldn't have been any controversy. The high prices aren't fumbles. The XBSX always costed around 700$ to produce but MS kept it retail price 200$ below to be competitive with PS5. Having a retail product match production cost isn't greedy or a fumble, it's just that the PS5, XBSX and PS5 Pro are all very expensive to make.
