How did Sony go from a 400 BOM to 450 BOM. To now going for a retail price of 550-650 dollar and increasing the volume to 10mil? This doesn't even make any sense.
How much did Sony mess up? With it also struggling with 1080p/60 fps. Heads are going to roll /s

Dudes, if you think PS5 is $549.99, I got mansions in America to sell you for pennies.
Hit me up with your credit card and social security info.

Folks aren't using their brain here.
Doubling production volume to 10 million and the stated goal of shifting users to next gen faster than ever should have killed the ridiculous price speculation but alas, "sources".
Is this true? the last thing I could find about it was a blog post on the Sony Japan blog announcing them dropping the PS4 Pro price down to 39,980 Yen. I see them for 66,000 on Amazon.jp, but it seems to be third party sellers, so idunno if that's the usual price?
fun game: when someone suggests that the price will be something astronomical, ask them what, exactly, inside the thing would make it cost that much
You'll probably hear some wild claims if they actually respond
yeah it was.
looking at just PS3 and Ps4
Ps3: 241.35 between $306.85 loss on each console(499 one cost them more) (Took 3+years to make somewhat)
Ps4: while cost was under 381, maybe figure they lost 50 or more(ill just say maybe they lost 100 per console at start) (but became profitable in year 1)
I think the most Sony could afford to lose as a loss leader up front is about 100-150 max per console and be okay if they can reduces costs within the first year or so and i think if they manufacturing 10 million up front might say that they are taking advantage of component prices which might offset some losses the anticipated earlier in the year.
so if BOM for reg PS5 is 450 they might be able to price at 499 and be good and 399 for the digital and have some losses early but should be able depending on part prices and manufacturing efficiencies lessen the losses.
It all depends on what the BOM is. I dont see them touching anything lower than 399 for the DE. And i def dont see them any higher than 549 and thats a stretch to me. It really depends on what the XSX comes in at where if XSX sets a high enough ceiling they could match or come a little under.
its interesting that MS set this 299 price floor which might mean that the XSX might come in kind of high(although we have people reporting 499 which isn't confirmed yet) everything at least all will be revealed soon within this month i reckon.
Yeah this was my assumption.
It seems the RRP as of October 2018 for the PS4 Pro is 38,980 Yen, so Dusk's price range would be a fair bit more expensive.
That said I don't really trust Dusk on this one.
Sony vs the internet right now:
LOL That dog is as cold as Kobe Bryant.
Yeah, by the logic we're seeing being used, the Switch Lite has been a $350 console for the last six months and not something speculated up to that cost by third party sellers
A 550-650 console that struggles with 4K?
PS5 could barely playback that gif without overheating is what I'm hearing.
Series S pricing is revealed and somehow Sony and Playstation are trending on Twitter lmao
Anyway, it's going to be 599.

Why are people so easily believing this $599 nonsense. I'll eat my hat if it's that much.
Anyone have any recommendations for marzipan hat retailers in the South London area?
Somehow I'm remembering the rumors about 200 dollar nintendo switch now lol. I'm not believing any price rumors until those persons have actually seen the official marketing material and shows it to us (like happened today with Series S).A 550-650 console that struggles with 4K?
i digital only console on the emerging markets? good luck with that
I'm new here, it takes time to figure out who knows things.
The power of the Cloud! lol...but I mean, I do think If this was the strategy this gen, it would've worked better. An expensive platform and a cheaper one is generally a good idea, you are touching all sections of the market, and Series S just has a weaker GPU and less storage, otherwise a very capable platform for next gen. After X360 that strategy might have worked out quite a bit...but as I said this was the wrong gen to lose, I have over a hundred games in my digital library now and I'm kinda tied to my PSN at this point. Would take a huge blunder from Sony for me to Switch...
In the U.S where the biggest games are Call of Duty, GTA, Assassin's Creed and Sports titles though, I think it'll be a much more even race. They should both sell out at launch, but Spidey should help PS5 be a bit more desirable for the first few months. After the hardcore have their fill though, I think we'll see who's bets will pay off.
It's true in the context you described; right now there's barely any supply for PS4 systems in Japan, the base model selling at almost 45.000 Yen by third-party stores fulfilled by Amazon. I guessed it wasn't the real price for any model, but Amazon's involvement is kind of puzzling in that regard.
I've been looking at other stores with no success. I'm afraid nobody is selling it for the official price at this moment (though it's correctly the one you said; that was also the price PS4 had on release back in 2013).
I will say Never to above $500. And said will take a month self ban for it.
Why we just have bad rumours :(
No insider comes to era to say "YO, PS5 LAUNCHING WITH INFAMOUS 3"
😣

We don't deserve that, there are to many good news about PS5.
