Could Sony Get Away With Pricing PS5 At $599?

[bogey_j]

would that severely hinder sales or is Microsoft barely even a legit competitor at this point?

Spoiler

it would still be day 1 for me

There's a reason why Xbox released a budget console

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Sony sold 115 million consoles this gen, what makes y’all think a 100 dollar price difference is gonna make people jump ship?

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Nah

 

[The Mad Titan]

Sure they could, and probably be successful with it.

But they better have killer exclusives asap

Take your stan glasses off and recognize we're knee deep in a pandemic that has messed up people's finances - at least in the US. A lot of people can't get loose with money. 499 already isn't the cheapest in the world. 599 would be a tough pill to swallow.

599 is not a mass-market price at the moment. The shyt will sell, but as said above they would have to have some hard-hitting exclusives at launch..way better than the PS4 launch.

ASAP...

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Nope. Look at the transition from PS2 to PS3 and how that price took a toll on their market share. It would be disastrous, especially with a strong Nintendo and MS breathing down their necks.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Again only one of those are for sure a launch title currently (that might change)

And the only that is is essentially a upgrade spin off standalone

 

[thaKEAF]

No.
