PS5 Pro too costly for you? Sony will soon start selling refurbished PS5 consoles for a fraction of the price (www.eurogamer.net)

Most of their games come out on PC now. We are not far off from some SteamOS based PC that works like a console. Sony would be crazy to think they can charge the same price.

I mean... Look at Apple. It's not really that crazy to think that the next playstation will cost a thousand.

And what did happen to those apple VR goggles?

The vr googles are a new product, so it could (and in fact did) flop. If you want to compare a new PS in terms of how could it be with the prices, you need to use the iPhones, that are already established in the market.

They didnt flop because they are new. They flopped because there wasnt a demand for what they were selling. What was the price tag again?

Almost like the price was what killed it.

What does Apple or Apple's pricing of products in completely different product categories have to do with this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Same case: they offer a product that has a different ecosystem that only them produce and they can be considered without competitors (in the Mac /apple ecosystem) same as Sony would be if they had no competitors in the consoles market.
