The lie
>next gen prices have not been revealed because neither company wants to be out priced by the other.
The truth
>next gen prices have not been revealed because neither company wants to be the bearer of bad news that next gen will cost minimum $600 but will most likely cost $700-$800
You've been had gamers. Face it.
>inb4 mug fuck console fags

I predict $499.99
It's not really that much, it'll last you 5 years at least, so at 800$ you're paying like 12$ a month.
Kek imagine paying 15 dollars a month for 30 fps
During Covid I doubt prices would be over $599. Also didn't PS5's parts cost $450? Why would you think it would be hundreds of dollars higher?
Oh boy i can't wait to pay 1000 leaf funbucks plus tip for nogaems.
user I'm gonna be paying that and like 2500€ for a PC upgrade.
Do you not have a job or something?
Sony already said the PS5 "won't be cheap, but it will be a good value", anyone not expecting another $599 US DOLLARS is delusional.
if its really $800 just build a pc
But muh exclusives
yes just lend me 1,200 more
You need to factor R&D costs. Hardware raw price doesnt tell the whole story.
Not necessarily PS4 cost $350 and sold for $399. Companies are often willing to eat the initial costs, some even sell at a loss.
Imagine still believing the lie that it cost $2000 to build a pc.
Real Mandela effect hours: his name is Michael PACH-ter and not PATCH-er, yet half of the gaming press misspells his name constantly.
If you want an actually good one ~1500€ is a reasonable target.
$399 Dickless version
$499 BigDick version
Screencap this.
Big true sweetspot and leaves possibilities for balancing budget
Come back when you've learned to articulate yourself, faggot.

ps5 will be $600, series x $500, series s $300. Source: my ass.
These days are long gone. This is not a business model anymore and believe it or not it started with kinect.
There was this former EA who moved to Micrsoft and did the product management there and said what a stupid, unsustainable model this upfront lose is and that it will be a thing of the past as long he works there... he was right (i think the interview was mentioned in the fighting with skeletons kinect video)
Id still buy it if it was $1500. Hopefully its too expensive for kids this holidays.
DID YOU NOT GET YOUR STIMULUS CHECK?
$499 disc, $399 Digital.
as a PC-only, I find consolefags extremely funny
i can either buy a game from steam or search "gamename torrent" and download it in two clicks, while consolefags have to pay for-, wait a second, pay no matter what for any game + pay for monthly subscriptions? and if they want to pirate, they have to un-cuck their machine by the means of occult firmware rituals and and medicine men dances
i can play games from any old platform just by using emulators or dosbox, and frankly I'm not sure how consolels do that - do they wait for their daddy corporation to include older architecture in new models or something?
consolefags have to worry about "generations" and teraflops and whatever the fuck, meanwhile I can just buy more ram and a new graphics card and play "next gen" games without worrying about melting my machine
Consoles are literally a scam, castrated PCs that are supposed to be especially powerful platforms for games - yet middle-higher end pcs have been outperforming them since PS3
So they make exclusives to get people to buy more consoles and to get consolels to buy games simply because they are exclusive, but then they port the games to PC anyway because exclusives have been about milking the most money out of fanboys from the start
Honestly the only console I can kind of respect is switch, because it has a gimmick of being portable, but at the same time it's s(o)y shit with labo cardboard and yakuza connections
The gamepads are OK I guess
If you have friends or family over to play games, you wouldn't use a pc. Type x or s or a and see what pops up in the start menu. Playing couch multiplayer with my pc makes me feel too "vulnerable".
it isn't like I'm going to buy one anyway.
Their sales may collapse if they price them that high.
I fully expect the PS5 to be an expensive system. But Sony won't shot themselves in the foot by announcing a price that is nowhere near 800$. I'm expecting it to be around 500$ give or take. And the Xbox will be cheaper by the way, and that won't be enough to save Microsoft next generation.
3 months away and still no price. Maybe they'll just release them with a mystery price and you have to go to the store and give them your card without them telling you how much they're going to charge you
Imagine not having a dedicated shit pc for retro arch on your tv. What a poorfag
> x
Xbox live settings and a bunch of xv6 operating system shit from a school project
> s
steam, snipping tool, settings
Your point? Just because you're a degenerate who stores porn on your hard drive doesn't mean the rest of us are.
>profit margin
No company other than Nintendo sells consoles at a profit when they first launch.
>playing couch mulitplayer with my pc makes me feel to "vulnerable"
What a fag.
>$800
>can't do 1080p @ 60fps
what a bunch of clowns, PC always wins baby
>Playing couch multiplayer with my pc makes me feel too "vulnerable".
Thats alright, just go into your safespace, everything will be okay, user.
