With the console already shown publicly, and being able to know all the details of the ps5 design, the question that every user is asking at the moment is related to the final price with which we can finally buy the console when it arrives in stores. That's what Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has talked about, who also wanted to reinforce the idea of launching a model without a disc player.
The price of PS5
The first figures that have been appearing in some other internet distributor are setting off the alarms of many users. The 700 euros that some are starting to aim for sounds too much, however, without any kind of official announcement made, it is useless to see the label of some stores that accept reservations. But then, How much will the PlayStation 5 cost? What price will be right for the console? Those questions may begin to have more or less an answer with the latest statements from the boss of PlayStation.
According to Ryan, Sony is more focused on delivering the "right value equation" and less on price as such. You don't have to be too smart to read between the lines, and that phrase invites you to think that Sony is preparing the ground to launch a console that could cost more than normal.
Is PS5 going to be too expensive?
This is something that should be qualified. He hardware used in this new generation may be one of the greatest technological leaps ever seen on consoles, so this could also be accompanied by an unusual rise in the official price of the products. That being said, the console could be expensive compared to previous releases, but perhaps it could be somewhat justified considering what it offers.
When asked if it is appropriate to launch a new hardware of this type at such a delicate moment in the economy, the manager replied that this business is one of the most prepared in terms of recession, but that will not prevent the company from studying background the way to “get the value equation right”.
A price that does not look low
Seen what has been seen, it seems that PS5 is notOr is it going to be especially cheap?. The most interesting thing is that in the coming months we are going to live an intense fight between the two giants, Microsoft and Sony, to see who dares to drop the final price of their console first. With the figure already in the public domain, all the cards will be definitively revealed and we will see who takes the title of having the cheapest console of the generation this time.
Let's not forget also that Microsoft could have pending the presentation of an alleged Xbox Series S, a cheaper model that, although it will not offer the same power as the Xbox Series X, will allow you to opt for new generation games and offer a much cheaper price to the public. Taking into account that the option that Sony has chosen is to launch a model without Blu-ray player, the Xbox Series S may be the Ace up your sleeve that you hope to present soon.
