Thank God. The 2000 series had some psycho prices
They fronted the 3000 series with that one I'm convinced. That ray tracing and DLSS ain't cheap
I will say I got plenty value out the 2080ti tho

At the end of the day its about the games.
People buy nintendo and playstations for teh 1st.party titles, even if 3rd party sells more the deciding factor is what 1st party games there are. Microsoft is buying these studios for a reason.
Y'all in here still arguing physical sales? I guess y'all still don't get the vision...
Remember just 7 years ago it was almost unfathomable to entertain the idea of not putting a disk Into a system yet here we are with whole disc less options.
Y'all gonna get caught slipping just like the record companies that kept trying to use cd physical sales as a metric.
But it's ok, Sony sold 100 billion units in 1999.

I keep going over this in my head and I've settled between these options
I've been saying for eons that the PS5 runs hot, all those vents on the PS5 dev kit aren't for show. As confirmed by the VP of UX at Playstation
Here's the reason for why the PS5 is absolutely huge - VG247
Those high frequencies come at a cost. In manufacturing, in design, everywhere. Then you add this.
Sony says PS5 is aiming for the best value, ‘but not necessarily lowest price’ | VGC
Like I said, my guesses are the above. Nothing that has been said or demonstrated thus far leads me to believe that Sony is trying to get into a price war with Microsoft.
- Both PS5s will be $499 with the digital version having Spiderman as a pack in
- PS5 Disc version is $549, Digital version $499 so that the ads can say, starting at $499
- PS5 Disc version is $499, Digital Version $449 and take the bath on cost.

As long as I'm not streaming, I couldn't care less about physical vs digital
The Xbox One S retailed for $299, a fat $100 off the PS4. Xbox 1 was $349 since Jan 2015.
Microsoft drops Xbox One price to $349 on Jan. 16.
Microsoft announces the Xbox One S, its smallest Xbox yet
Where were these consumers that gravitated to the cheap Xbox and had MSFT winning NPD in
hardware for the rest of the generation?
Price matters because I know someone is going to go "b-bu-but economy", but it's not telling the full story. (Again, assuming Sony doesn't price themselves out at $599 right now for the slow comprehension readers.)

Sony literally got done selling what is still the greatest selling system of all time...
And 600 dollars STILL fukked them up something serious
They know better than to do that again regardless of good will, especially now of all times

Too expensive
Sony would be some dummies to hike the prices
It'll definitely still sell. Sony, as a company, would take a hit to the good will that they have garnered from the success of the PS4, though.
You’re ignoring the long lasting effects of a getting a commanding lead right out the gate due to those price differences and PR screw ups.The Xbox One S retailed for $299, a fat $100 off the PS4. Xbox 1 was $349 since Jan 2015.

If you are buying at $500, you're buying at $600...pandemic, supply, none of that is going to matter.
Sony could get away with this simply off the strength of what they gave us in the previous generation.
