But the people who pay $1000 for a phone are using it every minute of the day, while the PS5 is an entertainment device. And the console price is just the starting point. For a phone you just need maybe a case and screen protector, most apps you buy are going to cost peanuts.I know this is kind of an overblown statement at this point.. but.. I do find it interesting that people will spend nearly $1000 every year or two on a cell phone, but freak out when a gaming console which lasts 3-6 years is over $400.
Personally.. I'd love it if there was an ultra premium $1000 console option, decked out with more powerful specs to guarantee 60fps+ in every game.
All that being said, still think Sony would be foolish to launch a console at $800 considering the general public expectation of console pricing.
no for 800?$ I could make a strong pc in 2020, ps5 can barely play games in 4k

Quoting myself because I need a reminder when the time comes.Where's that dude that promised to eat my ass if it's anything less than $599 at?
It's already confirmed it has backwards compatibility for PS4 games, it's prior generations that is up in the air.No. $800 is way too much.
$600 is my limit. To be honest, if it doesn't have backwards compatibility at launch then I'm not going to buy it at all. Too big of a PS4 backlog.
Sounds not like the best deal. You could easily get 250 for a Pro in good condition. So that's actually 499 and you have no Pro anymore. If it will be less than 499 you lost money, if Gamestop goes completely broke before PS5 release you lost even more.Absolutely no.
But, personally (don't Lynch me) I couldn't care less if it costs over 1k, I've already locked in my PS5 at max €200.
There was some GameStop deal here in Italy. €50 advance pay, trade in Ps4 Pro and you get PS5 at launch for €200. I went straight in man.
You could be right but I have a bad habit of not selling my consoles, I still have my PS1.Sounds not like the best deal. You could easily get 250 for a Pro in good condition.

Ah, i thought you aready had to give them the Pro. Then it's ok-You could be right but I have a bad habit of not selling my consoles, I still have my PS1.
This way I'm forcing myself to upgrade lol. It seems that this time around there won't be a reason to keep the ps4 around with the ps5
EDIT: besides, prices tend to tank before launches because everyone is trying to sell to upgrade, seen it plenty to not want to deal with that.
No no, it's trade in at launchAh, i thought you aready had to give them the Pro. Then it's ok-
Hell fucking no. If they go over $500 on any model they're smoking that crack pipe, it won't sell very well even at $550. History has shown over and over and over and OVER again that people are most likely to buy a console at launch if it's $399 or less. Sony and Microsoft could pull off $499 and sell out their initial stock but it'll slow down after that.
