I'm okay with that.

If those costs are true, that ship has already sailed. They can't sell it for $399 without huge losses.
"I really like the fact that they have a quality-sounding cooling system. That has been one of my biggest worries with PS5 after the loud PS4 Pro."

That's great news.

I agree but what do we know about official specs ? Just rumors ?

rumours have ranged from X being more powerful to PS5 being more powerful. We really don't know outside of a lot of speculation. Maybe Sony is playing the waiting game, even if they end up price wise the same, they can easily just stop the price before launch. Sony have already met with retailers, so I am sure price was discussed there. |
I'm sorry I didn't get the last two line. English isn't my first language. "Just stop the price befaure launch". What does it mean ?
Just like I had said before, the ps5 and xbox series X are expensive machines mostly due to change from HDD to SSD, the only way sony could sell it at build cost ist to make the cheaper model 500SSD instead of 1TB. Give people the option, me personally Ill buy the most expensive one, but most people would be ok with the 500SSD.
499 dollars is still a very acceptable price taking into account inflation. My phone cost 1000 dollars, so 500 is not much for a console that's going to give me 7-8 years of gaming.

Yes even if they decided not to take a loss on the price and priced it at break even they would do ok, us longtime gamers will ensure that.
The hardware power to cost ratio has been put on a more even keel since the PS3 launch and while pricing may see an increase for early adopters
with the usual cost savings seen overtime and yearly BF/ holiday sales means most of the later adopters will most likely pay prices inline with todays PS4.

If the console mfr costs $450, there is still packaging, shipping wholesale, and retail to consider. $450 isn't where the cost stops... it's where it starts.
So 450 USD is just build cost (hardware part cost) not include with packaging cost, shipping cost, and retail cost . 450 usd is just the start of the cost. PS4 was build with 380 USD BOM (hardware part cost) then total cost are around 399 USD. So the indeed PS4 was sold at lost.
one other factor to consider is that sony is considerably worse off then they were back even in the ps3's days, right now around half of sony inc's total profits are from PS, it used to be way, WAY lower than that. they used to have spare cash lying around, now they don't (nintendo's war chest, while rediculously large for such a small company, is only slightly smaller than sony's a megacorperation)
Sony better charge $400 if the console is 9TF or this is a robbery.
