says the guy who cried and quit tmbsl after his draft pick was skipped because he refused to look at his phone for three minutes while at a concert
Odin calling out Irush is something else. you guys do the exact same shit I dont care about the bitching i just move along but this is pretty funny.
I think number is for the “launch window” which is an incredibly vague term I’ve seen used for up to the first 6 months of the console lifecycle. Going to be interesting to see how it shakes out for sure
Push Square has an article today with speculation from a Bloomberg analyst that the disc version will be at $449 and the discless will be below $400. Take it with a grain of salt for sure but the closer they get to $300 the better their argument against Series S becomes. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/09/ps5_price_may_dip_below_usd400_analyst_speculates
That would be the killshot. I already think they will win this generation in terms of sales but I was expecting 500 and 450.
I agree with this. To me if the console was $400 for the discless I feel like they would’ve been tweeting it out the moment Xbox announced their pricing, and rightfully so. I think 500/450 is where it lands but I’m really excited to see everything tomorrow
well they had to wait until the xbox price release so they could have discussions to figure out the highest price while being competitive.
I think they probably had a price locked in though don’t you? They’re the market leader, waiting around on price to see if you can undercut, etc would be a move you would expect to see out of the console in second place. I’d guess they had a range of options with it mostly decided, and their opinions were likely confirmed with the price points Microsoft released.
nope, i think they want to be sure they dontake the same mistake they did with the ps3. they arent microsoft who can afford to sell console at a huge loss. so they want to get as much for them as they can and theres no way of knowing what the kost they can get is without first seeing the price of the xbox. just because they won current gen doesnt mean it cant swing the other way if they fuck up launch. evidence: n64, ps3, xb1
I’m not arguing that they cant lose a generation after winning the previous one. More saying they likely had a pretty well defined price window already and that Microsoft’s pricing probably didn’t move the needle on that.
Update: Sony has reached out to GamesIndustry.bizwith the following statement denying the Bloomberg report: “While we do not release details related to manufacturing, the information provided by Bloomberg is false," the statement reads. "We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5 since the start of mass production."
This correction was regarding a different article, where it was reported Sony was cutting their production of systems because of chip production problems. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/09/sony_says_troubled_ps5_production_rumours_are_false Sony didn't correct the price article
yeah I agree with that. I googled bluray drive and it was anywhere from $48-65. you know Sony has a super high end one in there so the cost is more than that, so I think we could see 350/450, but 400/500 is probably more likely
You can Google parts prices all you want but there needs to be a perceived value difference for both versions to be viable. Otherwise the market just chooses way more of just one and you risk getting stuck with useless and pointless dead inventory long term. Plus it's super inefficient to support both for such little difference. Just not good business I wouldn't think. There has to be a $100 difference or more or else what's the point.
Predictions for what we see today? I would be happy with just price, release date, decent look at the UI and some gameplay. Really want an Uncharted teaser but I don't think we are there yet.
It's 40 minutes long apparently so a decent bit of content. Price and date absolutely. Not sure past that. Maybe, maybe a GoW 2 teaser but I'm doubtful.
sushi ghost multiplayer gameplay, ui, price, date, playstation all stars battle royale 2 reveal with a better name, playstation all stars kart racing reveal with a better name, sony vs capcom in the style of marvel vs capcom reveal
I’ll go $499/$449 on console prices, I think show closet is maybe more on Horizon, and probably think we’ll see some last of us on ps5 potentially.
