I quit buying consoles after I bought the Destiny edition PS4, it came with Destiny (awesome), but right after I got it they released an expansion so everyone was playing stuff I couldn’t. I honestly thought it was going to come with something like a season pass or something.
Typically, 6 years into a console life, prices are cut dramatically to maintain sales because the majority of people who wanted one already bought one.
This time, prices are UP across the board.
PS5 - Launch - $400/$500
Current - $600/$650PS5 Pro - Launch - $700
Current - $900Xbox Series S - Launch - $300
Current - $400/$450Xbox Series X - Launch - $500
Current - $600/$650/$800Exactly, it’s not hard to explain. Money is also tighter and that will drop a lot of people from buying games right now as well. There is a reason why they sell the console at a loss, they know the exact amount people are willing to pay and this is well beyond that.
For a 31 year-old console it’s not that alarming.
Misleading title sorta, or oversimplified. It’s PS5 selling less than any other PS before it.
I know, it was a joke :)
Wouldn’t have anything to do with the massive price increases, would it?
This article author do not seem to know the gaming industry. It is normal for a console sale to drop a lot in it’s 6th year. The ps5 sale is performing similarly to the previous consoles minus the ps2
