When is Sony going to play their storage card? They can easily reduce storage size including PS5 Pro's down to 512 GB to counter or minimize the impact of any near future component price increases.
PC and Xbox both offer 512 GB options whereas Sony doesn't even offer a 1TB version of the Pro. It's such a bizarre strategy bearing in mind PS5's SSD being much faster than Xbox's (and therefore more expensive) and how NAND prices are through the roof. Hell, they could sell their consoles up to a $100 cheaper (Pro) AND make more money per unit.

I don't think Sony care about how much money they make when they sell a PS5 Pro, they probably care more about not ever giving it a discount so people get conditioned to always pay more and accept higher prices as the norm for when the PS6 is around.

NAND prices at the industry level aren't that high, even spot prices. They'd be saving less than $50 by doing that and probably losing more than that in product value, TBH, since the Pro has relatively higher margins and BoM than the others anyway.

Steam Deck OLED 1TB is $160 more expensive than the 512GB model. With minor differences beside the storage.
Steam Machine 2TB is $300 more expensive than the 512GB model.
Series S 1TB is a $100 more expensive than the 512Gb model.
My $100-$150 difference guesstimate between the 2TB and 512GB PS5 Pro models is in fact very conservative in the context of what major players are doing. A 512GB PS5 Pro cuts 1.5TB (3 times more than what Xbox Series S cuts) of ultra fast SSD (more than twice the speed of Xbox's).
Even if we assume Sony gets much better deals on SSD's than everyone else, a $100-$150 difference between 2TB and 512GB is definitely conservative.

I don't believe we've seen PS5 Pro or Series S footage yet, but when we do we'll see the difference is a lot more than 1080p Vs 4k lol. Series S is going to struggle.

You'd think the combination of the perceptible upgrades in graphics stagnating completely and hardware doubling in price would have some sort of effect, but apparently not much. I can understand upgrading your hardware if you're at least a full generation behind but otherwise not so much. |
Do we actually have any data showing how many PS5 Pro owners upgraded from base PS5? Most of them may be upgrading from PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox or whatever.
And it's not like PS5 Pro is selling incredibly well. Hardware sales aren't great across the board.

Based on what i saw on netflix, series S is not be enough to keep stable native 1080p. I realy think Series S will suffer some severe cuts and downgrades.
