In the US you can claim a free game with a PS5 too. God of war Ragnarok or one of the other first party games

New PS5 owners can claim a free game, including God of War, Spider-Man and more

Yeah, their goal is such a lofty one that even if they only sell ~22 million, they would have still outsold their direct competitor by almost 3:1 -- which would be unprecedented if I'm not wrong.
There is nothing but a win-win situation for Sony here.

Am I on copium to think the new model could be £350 digital £400 disc?

Not sure about the UK prices, but I think there will only be one version: digital with an attachable disc drive, sold separately. And that'd be $399 USD.

Yeah bonkers deal.

Also Witcher 3 is sticking out like a sore thumb on that list. Looks like the complete edition aswell, so much value if someone hasn't played it.

Gotta sell those consoles quickly before Spider-man 2 releases. More consoles equals more game sales

I’m starting to be on the £349 wagon.

Yeah I think they have the cost savings now to hit that sort of price point now which is only £20 less than the launch Digital Edition.

Funnily enough, some users at other forums claim this is desperation from Sony.
This week will be huge for the PS5.

If they want to reach the most price-sensitive mass market and sell more than 20 million consoles, they already have to set the price above €399, then threads are created about "what Xbox has to do to succeed" then move your ass like it does Sony, making packs like this Fifa one at a good price and promoting it, then you get to the store and see the PS5 Fifa pack with its thematic and cheaper box and then Xbox with the Fifa stuck with tape and more expensive, who will buy the people...

"Desperation"... Some have consoles on sale for 300 dollars since the beginning of this gen and can't leave the 3rd place.
Clearly price isn't everything.
The new model will be a unique price without the disc. If Sony pulls a 350€/$ then poor the other one that has a much worse console on sale for 300 dollars tbh.

I think they are following their previous console strategies, especially the PS4, which got a permanent cut after 23 months, the PS5 is going into its 36 month after launch with their initial price point (higher in markets other than the US).
To me, it seems pretty normal.
Forspoken is just an option alongside other games. Some users might be interested to bit on this game but don’t want to pay too much, or maybe nothing, so this bundle is good for them.

Genuine question, is the Switch Lite desperation?

It’s normal, they just followed previous strategies, like the one they did with the DS and 3DS.
Sony is doing now their own strategy to achieve a specific goal (25m for their FY).

Well I guess technically any time a corporation gives consumers more value it's usually because they're at least a bit desperate for sales. Since they don't normally do it out of kindness.
Funny though that you never hear Gamepass referred to as "The most desperate deal in gaming".
If the bonus game was Hogwarts they wouldn't be allowed to talk about it.

Promotional offers and discounts are nothing new.

I honestly don't see how the 25M this fiscal year don't happen specially with Spider-Man 2 and a possible Black Friday bundle

Forspoken is the second best game on that list.....
