I'm of the same mindset. It will be in the $700 without a disc drive. Originally it was $600 before the component shenanigans. Which I think is fair for the rumored specs you will be getting. The RAM prices should start stabilizing by the end of this year. People are so hyperbolic in this day and age like prices don't ebb and flow based on supply and demand. If it was $1k I'm copping because the value proposition can't be beat. But otherwise wait until there's a glut in components and then but when it drops in price. But FOMO prevents a majority of people from doing that. Which ironically also raises the price lol
Ya'll can hate me, but a $1000 console is not bad.

Yeah I think people are sleeping on this part. It's going to have the latest AMD tech inside at $1k. It's going to easily be stronger than most gpus that are not 80/90 series. If they make a native PS6 game and push it to the limit. A majority of PC rigs would not be able to run it unless they're 2k + setups$1K is a little high, but compared to GPU prices, that shyt is light work. You want the best GPU on pc, you're paying $2k+ just for the graphics card. Then you gotta buy everything else too. Consoles are a better value. Don't even look at what a water cooled GPU and PC costs. shyt is fire though
If a $750 PS5 Pro can meet high settings on pc at 120fps, imagine what a $1k PS6 will do.
The same people saying this were the same ones saying they weren't purchasing a Switch because it's too expensive. You underestimate FOMO and hyper consumerism. Also PlayStation being the premier video game console out there. I'm highly confident a $1000 PS6 will sell very well. Just wait until GTA6 drops. You'll see a lot of PS5 pros flying off the shelf lol
Exactly! The same ones that try to dismiss this are also the ones that say they'll take the jackpot over annuity payments in a powerball lol
This make zero sense.
90s gaming was wide open. Every genre had multiple games to appeal to a wide range of fans.
There's no era more casual era than 90s gaming. Plenty of ppl had NES, SNES and SEGA but nevrr went past that.
Dont get it confused now just bc girls are gaming. They were gaming in the 90s too, even moreso than probably now. Especially during SNES amd NES

A $450-500 switch 2 is completely different from a $1000 ps6 with no disc drive, game, extra controller, or ps+ added. Add the rest and that's well above $1000. A $1000+ console is not going to sell very well.

It's simple man, PS6 is supposed to be a mass market product. It's not going to be $999. I would bet money on this. $700 max.

People in here really believe a $1000+ ps6 is going to sell very well. There is no way that's selling very well, especially with today's economy.
Hell people were complaining about the PS5 being 500 when it first dropped and it still is close to 100 Milly sold even with the price increases. You underestimate FOMO and people's obsession with have the best and greatest like everyone else. GTA6 will run the best on the PS5 pro. It will be a noticeable difference on how it looks and runs. People will get a PS5pro for that reason along especially if they're friends or favorite streamers are playing it too.

This is a false equivalency. A $1000+ console is a completely different story than a $500 console.
Credit hasn't dried up so people are still consuming regardless of economy. If people are financing trips with Afterpay/Klarna what makes you think they won't cop a PS6 on there lol

A $1000 ps6 is doa.
Not at all. You're just trying to interject your personal beliefs and spending habits onto the majority. Your emotions are clouding the facts and psychology of it. As much as you pout and whine about it. People are going to buy the PS6 if it's 1k because everyone else is purchasing it and they don't want to be left behind. Now I don't personally think it will be 1k when it drops. But if it was it's still going to well millions of units especially when the games drop that can't be run on the PS5

This is not emotional, this is basic reasoning. What developer is going to develop a next gen exclusive for a $1000 console? By your reasoning, the ps5 pro should be selling as well as the ps5, and it's not even close to selling as well because people would rather buy the cheaper ps5 or stay on the ps5 and not upgrade. There were times the ps5 pro was selling worse than the ps4 pro. When a console is too expensive, it doesn't sell well and history has shown this. Even in pc gaming, sales have plummeted because of the prices. There were sale surges before the price bumps because people were trying to buy components before they raised in price, and when the prices arrived, the sales dropped dramatically. Some of the dumbest arguments are being used in this thread.

Again you're being emotional instead of rational. Developers don't look at the cost of console when choosing to develop its how many units have been sold because those are potential sales for their title. The PS5 pro is considered a niche product and was designed for the consumer that wants the extra bells and whistles and the developers that want to push their game more. It's selling 5:1 which on the same pace as the PS4/pro model. If we go by your logic, then they would still be making PS2 games since it technically is cheaper than a PS5 lol. While price does factor into sales at the end of the day software will always be the deciding factor. PS5 pros were flying off the shelf just because people saw that RE9 look and ran better on their compared to the other systems. When the PS6 drops and it looks and runs better people are going to buy it. That's also not factoring in the system exclusives which it definitely will have.
