Zod Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) ^Lol thats true. Though i have a feeling a major price increase announcement gonna come from Sony as well. Sony products are made in China as well. Get resdy for major price increase across the board on all kind of tech products. PC parts going up like crszy aswell.

Sony is again put in a unique place where they are getting positive rep without even trying or spending any money on marketing. They will cash this in for as long as they can. All Xbox fans, even the big public Xbox influencers, are buying PS5 Pro anticipating a price increase soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zod Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) Makes sense Pro definitely better deal for anyone looking to buy new console. But i have a feeling more and more companies who manufacture their product in china will get expensive unless they find different country to manufacture. Sony could also increase price of their games to 80$ along with all other third party publishers. Sony not facing anycompetition, they can increase without any backlash if everyone starts doing it. GTA 6 will be 100$ Edited May 2 by Zod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

India ka chance hai agar legalities thodi kam karein toh Apple already confirmed it but u know what China doing? They not letting Apple transfer its machinery from China to India or any other country. Its holding it hostage. Google it. Apple got clearance from India already. No hurdles here but China blocking transfer of Machinery. Samsung already invested few billions in its TN plant to move their mobile manufacturing.

AnK Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Xbox is a dead console….nobody cares if they increase price to $1000….it wasn’t readily available to buy at most places anyway due to lack of demand. That’s the reason unlike Sony they didn’t bother stockpiling to meet immediate demand without any price increase. & bots were criticising Nintendo in Switch 2 thread!! Why do these two left over doofuses open their mouths is just beyond me!! No Xbox sales means no Increase in subscribers….that’s why the latest report conveniently only displayed increase in PC GamePass numbers!!! Soon it’ll be a straight up $20 a month there as well which will reflect immediate Revenue growth(without exact numbers lol) coz most were under back door schemes!! Though I dread & fear this will give Sony absolute free hand to do whatever the f**k they want!!! I guess PS5 or maybe PS5pro will be my last games console for quite a while!! Adios to day1 gaming!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS5 Pro is last consoles for many. More people will goto PC gaming and abandoned PS just like Xbox. Sony will continue to increase price unchecked and exploit it's loyal users like they always do. And i agree Aidos to dayone gaming on PS, we eating good here on PC and Xbox, we will continue to play games dayone via service you hate the most. Soon PS5 users will completely rely on used games Edited May 2 by Zod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko89 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Don't think Sony would increase console prices. But in worst case they do, glad I got the Pro already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV1709 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 They should increase prices of Series S too to match base PS5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko89 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 GPU is at 20USD, they couldn't bump it up anymore when game cost was 60USD. Now that Xbox games are 80USD, I suspect GPU will also get hiked soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no one gonna buy it anyway. Normally in past, early adopters used to pay more and late adopters pay less for consoles. Now its completely opposite, early adopters are celebrating as they bought it when price was under 500$. Edited May 2 by Zod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin bought in 2024 & Slim model cost him just 39k during sale season. He also got more HDD space. PS5 is still on track as a normal console generation… It’s only some who have got derailed & will be soon out of existence….atleast in current proprietary form.

Zod Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) ^This guy lives in his own reality. No clue whats happening globally. Prices of both PS5 and SX both went up compared to launch everywhere. Anyone buying PS5 or SX now in 2025, will pay more than who bought it between 2020- 2024. This was not the case in previous console generations. Base model used to go down in price after 4 or 5 years. Now time has changed with Tarrif war. PS5 official price will only go up, not gonna come down. Sony already increased console price worldwide once. If tarrif war gets more severe, you will see more changes in price. Guess, you forgot Sony increased their console prices recently. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/14/sony-hikes-playstation-5-price-by-25-as-trump-tariffs-bite Or read this https://www.reuters.com/business/xbox-joins-playstation-hiking-console-prices-amid-us-tariff-pressures-2025-05-01/ Edited May 2 by Zod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) PS5 prices went up but seasonal sales still take it as low as 39-42k. Even here in India….everyone knows except the ppl who don’t follow. Now open mouth only if you know sh*t!! Edited May 2 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zod Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) ^Old stock. They trying to sell it by giving big discounts. There was few old SX units on sale on Amazon for 42k, sold out now. Im talking about official price of console which now went up officially globally and its now more expensive compared to launch. Now just coz some big retailers can afford to give big discounts on their own, doesn't mean PS5 official price didn't go up globally. PS5 is more expensive compared to launch globally. US, Europe, and Australia. everywhere prices went up. Its literally mentioned on official website of PS. Edited May 2 by Zod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Lmao….SX at ₹42k Prove it like I just did or it didn’t happen!! My photo is from October 2024…last holiday season. Question of Old stock & clearance don’t even arise in new Slim Models!! MRP of even PS4 didn’t go down….doesn’t mean ppl were buying at that price till it’s last leg!!!
