PS5 and PS Portal Price Increase Confirmed [Update]

[Norion]

I didn't expect this to happen so soon but here it is. Sony will still offer discounts during the holidays I imagine and things should be fine in April since this won't take effect everywhere all at once but PS5 sales are gonna be a bit crap May-October now and even crappier throughout 2027. They've sold so many already that it's not that big of a deal but outselling the PS4 just got a lot less likely though and this makes me think they might still launch the PS6 next year after all if that was the plan cause PS5 sales are gonna get pretty low next year. For that the question now is if it'll be more or less than 1k at launch. Also the PS5 Pro was mocked for its initial price but the people who bought it for that ended up getting a great deal.

Xbox Series should get another price increase soon though that'll make it sales even more dead than it is currently so I'm wondering how long till the Switch 2 gets one. As mentioned it would make sense for Nintendo to hold out and bear the pain for a stretch to build up the install base some more first. If it's anytime soon though the Switch 2 will be falling behind the Switch 1 sooner than I and most people were expecting. Overall the console industry is gonna be in a notably rougher place a couple years from now.
