The ps6 is not releasing at $700. You wouldn't even honor the ban bet :mjlol:
Idk what's so hard to understand. A console that wants to appeal to the mass market cannot be so pricy that no one wants it especially if cross gen games will still be a thing.

You want it to be within a reasonable price while still offering clear advantages that will get the main fans to upgrade from PS5.

Man, so these Sony Stans are really getting the business in this thread :laff:
So as I was saying, this started in the 360 era and since that post let's look at what has been said...
Stop being weird.
If you was talking to me, then you're extra weird for saying that. I'm exposing weirdos, like a here here go...
Them numbers hurting some feelings. :pachaha:
You would think Microsoft having 6 of the top ten games sold on PlayStation would be newsworthy but the radio silence while you regurgitate Sony sold more than Xbox is WEIRD. You claim that's always been the case so why still talk about it?

And how come you don't include Nintendo, is it because then you'd be like "Yeah, we came in SECOND!!!"
That would be stupid right? And yet it's your reality :wow:
I’m confident that there going to have a console launch at 699 either ban bet me or keep it movin.
:camby:

You ain’t trying to put your account on the line no further discussions. It’s ok I know your shook that you know I will win.
I'll do it :manny:

So back to the 360 era :smugbiden: and @MeachTheMonster destroyed you for saying that with receipts so...

Didn't stop you from picking the ps3 which was overpriced, didn't have games similar to the ps5. Couldn't even run Madden at 60fps until year 3. And since you guys don't represent reality, you hype up the PS5pro so why would Sony go backwards? We are moving from consoles so you can stream the version you're talking about while the others who want the best, the pro version right? That's the only option and it'll be costly...
especially if cross gen games will still be a thing.
It won't be because Sony believes in generations :blessed:

Oh you must be talking about backwards compatibility, you'd think it could play each gen right out the box. Don't forget, the emotion engine chip only cost Sony $5 to make the ps3 backwards compatible. Then to save money they removed it, $5 chip. And you guys been struggling, hoping, wishing and praying that Sony stops nickel and dime'n you. And now you get to brag about how ps now or plus or whatever you call it is better than Gamepass because of its ability to stream all those old games they won't allow you to play natively.

I have receipts on everything I just said about you sir, and you know it. Just fade off into the sunset bruh, this is not a good look for you :damn:

What would the optics be of releasing the PS6 at a price less than the PS5 Pro? I guess they could dry up the supply of PS5 Pros by stop manufacturing long before the PS6 releases.

It looks like Sony has accepted that console transitions aren't what they used to be. 5 years into the PS5's life 30-40% of their player base is still on the PS4.
About 30-40% of total PlayStation Network monthly active users are still on PS4, and assuming a count of 124 million MAU, between 37.2 and 49.6 million people are playing on the last-gen PlayStation 4.

Sony has decided to embrace this cross-platform business model by not retiring the PS4 any time soon.
If that's the case then a $700 PS6 doesn't mean so much when they'll likely keep PS5 going well into half past the PS6's total life.

That earnings season.

Buy that Microsoft stock and let ChatGPT earnings growth pay for a PS6.

Their strategy has always been appealing to mass market with the exception being the ps3 generation with Sony quickly reverting back to that strategy afterwards. Even with no competition, the ps6 needs to sell well quickly because of the exclusives exclusive to the ps6. At some point there will be these type of exclusives other than at release or shortly after and Sony needs as much consoles out there as possible to maximize the profits of those games especially when you consider development costs.

Not all ps6 exclusives will be cross gen. Next gen will be the same as this gen with some exclusives being on the ps6 only and some being cross gen with almost all the cross platform games being cross gen early. Then after about year 2 or 3 all ps6 exclusives will only be on the ps6 and cross platform games will start being exclusive to the ps6.

I also predict there will be a greater amount of exclusives only on the ps6 compared to this gen due to no COVID, pivoting away from GAAS, a greater amount of Sony studios, and studios that never released or released only 1 game this gen being active next gen, There are also reports of gen z gamers not buying as many games except f2p games and select popular franchises though that is as accurate as the sample of that study so Sony would be wise to make the ps6 affordable. The ps5 pro is only $700 because Sony wants profit with that console only being 2% higher to produce than the ps5 and will be discontinued.

Not every ps6 exclusive will be cross gen the whole gen. There will be some that are cross gen, especially early, and the rest will be ps6 exclusive with that amount increasing as that generation goes on. Otherwise, there would be no games to force the ps4 and/or ps5 owners to buy a ps6 since all the exclusives would also be playable on the ps5. Not only that, the cross gen exclusives early this generation already started development on the ps4 by the time those developers got ps5 dev kits.
