If the PS5 is more expensive than 500 then Sony are in a real spot of trouble. It would indicate very poor judgment from them, targeting over 500 for a console when every 400 console has been hugely successful for them in the past. Aside from that, while the SSD is expensive, so is the XSX GPU (and that has a fairly pricey SSD as well) so it's hard to see where the extra expense is coming from. The only thing I can think of is the controller, in which case Sony would be well and truly insane to prioritise that.
However the idea that Sony absolutely can't take a loss on hardware is silly considering it's what they've always done. It's especially funny if it's coming from those whinging because of Sony spending big on securing timed exclusives...
