Rumor: Sony struggling to keep PS5 parts pricing down...now up to $450 per console

[Tenchi Ryu]

Yall sony ponies better get that 500+ dollars on in the savings...them 399 days is over

The price they have to pay if they want to use Zen 2 and custom Navi parts that include raytracing.

 

[mrfortune]

already thought it was gonna start around 500

Eat the cost and charge it to the game. . .zuh.

 

[Koba St]

$450 should be the maximum. With PSN making them billions a year, they can afford to recoup the cost through that service.

I think at this point it’s unrealistic to assume we’ll get a high end console at $399 like last gen

What high-end console? Ps4 had a tablet cpu

 

[ChatGPT-5]

It's cheaper than an iphone.

 

[ManBearPig]

Someone at gamestop's told me that it was gonna be 499.99

 

[RNS]

Day 1 still

 

[dakidblu]

Might as well drop at $500 like the series X.

Interesting. Mind going further into this to educate me or any other dudes who aren’t too hip to the inner mechanisms??

That takes nothing away from their statement. Why do you think it specifically said "console"?

It uses the the low-power Jaguar microarchitecture in the APU which is notebook level.

As far as the topic is concerned, I guess we better get ready for $500. Good they're investing more into the cooling solution as well.

they won't struggle to put out quality games tho that's all I'm worried about

Almost certain to be 500. X box will habe 550/400 dollar models.
