PlayStation Studios |OT13| The One With the Price and Release Date. Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It has to be this (or lower) so the prices can be competitive.
$499/$399
Sony wants more people in their digital ecosystem. It just makes business sense to make the digital edition the more desirable console. A $50 difference wont be enough to convince people.

Someone will "leak" a U$650 fake price and everybody will believe.
I can see Sony take their losses and price the PS5 at 399 and DE at 349. Disc drive isn't much and Sony relies a lot of their profits on software revenue anyway. Also, I expect them to reveal this at an event showcasing what to expect at launch, lineup and all, with the price and date being the closer.
Consider that PS5 almost definitely costs less to build than the Series X. Early estimates from Zhuge had it at about $450 for the PS5 BOM compared to $460 minimum for the Series X BOM. So if MS can price the Series X at $499 and likely lose a little bit when you take all the other factors outside of BOM, PS5 can absolutely be priced at $449, unless Sony wants to make a profit on hardware from day 1 and live with costing the same as Series X.
I would be upset if i was Microsoft and I would wait for official pricing before getting excited about a potential PS5 price
the thought did cross my mind when windows central leaked xsx 499
jimbo might go cute and undercut them just a bit just to mess with them lol
Haha yeah I forgot it's already Tuesday, poor souls going to have to lock the comments on the VR post
This. Gotta be $100 unless it comes with a year of PSNow or something
Maybe 399/499? Just don't think that Sony feel the need to have a cheaper console. Today they have a bigger base that might wanna stay in the ecosystem due to exclusives and BC.
Both waited too long, PS5's price and date will absolutely be leaked at this rate.
I guess MS aren't the only ones announcing their prices this week. Haha.
If it wasn't for Gravity Rush 2, I'd say Day's Gone was the most slept on PS4 game of the generation. Such a good game. Did you get the "true" ending? I didn't even realize it had one, so I had to go back and get it. All I'll say is that it made me super excited for the sequel! Days Gone on PS5 is going to turn some heads, I think (hope). SCE Bend did a great job, and it has a lot of potential as a new flagship series for them.
Nah man Sony need to bring Future of Gaming Pt. 2 with:
Launch Gameplay, 3rd Party PlayStation Advantage, OS Demo, $349/$399 Price, Nov 6 Release Date, PS1-PS4 BC, PS Now Overhaul, PSVR 2, etc for me to be happy 😁
Same. I don't see them being more expensive, I'm curious if they can get lower than the X, but I think it'll at least be a price match and the digital will be $100 cheaper than whatever the disc version ends up.
Nah i seriously doubt it after the digital edition secret it shows me Sony is running a tight ship with leaks
yeah saw some good impressions over at the OT so maybe they improved things? Either way game looks interesting. Hopefully I will like it too. Need a non fall guy MP in my life lmao
First we have to wait for the official MS announcement. For now it's just a "leak". Then, let's see how Sony will react.
Soony!
A lot more crows will be served it's PS5DE is $499 and PS4 physical is $550
This is true.
lol, I thought you meant the marketing people at MS but you were talking about Sony. Still applies tho.
Xbox did what should have been done ages ago. Just price their console at something low, and if Sony can match it cool, if not good for them. I was beginning to not feel for them at all, frankly. If you're worried about losing on price either take the hit or continue to lose.
Days Gone and Gravity Rush 1/2 are 3 games I'm looking forward to playing. The former seems to be a very mixed bag with many either enjoying it or disliking it and the latter seems to have gone by unnoticed by many. I'll probably save Days Gone for when I have a PS5 one day though. Gravity Rush 1/2 I'll most likely get to this fall.
Aye, tis
I'm just guessing though, Sony have done a lot right so far I just expect something to go wrong.
Oh yeah it has to be worse at MS imagine if the prices aren't accurate and are actually more. That'd be hell
I honestly can't see Sony going $549-599 for their Standard version. That would be extremely stupid and shortsighted, especially if the PS5 BOM is around $450.
Yeah, the two Gravity Rush games are probably two of the first things I'll replay on my PS5 in between new games.
Yeah, I don't think so either. It's kinda crazy how little has leaked from them. Even the June event was tight as well.
