We still don't know the price of the , but analysts believe that it will cost more than the PlayStation 4 at launch with a price tag of around $450, thanks to the scarcity of necessary ♒components.
The PlayStation 4 launched at $399, making it a hundred dollars cheaper than the Xbox One when it was released. The reason fo𒅌r this is that the Xbox One launched with the costly Kinect unit as standard and it wasn't able to match the price of the competition until it was dumped, 🔴by which point the PlayStation 4 had already taken the lead in the marketplace.
It seems that the PlayStation 5 might cost $450 at launch, at least according to Macquarie Capital analyst Damian Thong, who told that the price may go as high as $470 to factor for components. The PlayStation 5 will use a lot of components that are also used in modern smartphones and the ꦐdemand for them is high.
It's not uncommon for console manufacturers to take a hit in terms of the cost of the system, as they🤡 will make far more money off the games in the long run. It's the goal to get as many consoles out to the audience as possible in order to increase the number of games sold over a long period of time. With that 🀅being said, there is a limit to how much a company is willing to lose per-system.
Neither Microsoft or Sony has revealed the prices for their next system and we can't help but feel as if♎ there is a game of chicken going on between the two companies. It's possible that they are waiting for the other to blink so that they can lower the cost of their own system to undercut them at the market. The $450 price tag seems like a lot and history has proven that consumers are averse to spending over 🐈$399 for a console at launch. It's possible that Sony's hubris as the current market leader could lead it to over-price the PlayStation 5 at launch, giving Microsoft the chance to swoop in with a cheaper system.
