Playstation Tablet 1,775 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Bloomberg PS5 report: https://bloom.bg/2Hp8xZE • PS5 unit cost $450 • DRAM/NAND shortage causing problems; cancelled camera features • new PSVR after PS5 launch • many of PS5 launch games will also be on PS4 • Sony in wait-and-see approach, XboxSX price factor in PS5 price DRAM? Does that confirm the HBM rumour? So 399 with a loss it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,775 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Also mentioned in PS5 article: Cooling system "unusually expensive at a few dollars per unit" when typically less than a dollar.

No.. none of this confirms HBM. Yeah retailer cut, shipping, production, marketing. $500 incoming. Zhuge said he expects a similiar BOM for X. If $500 is the default anticapated price, and they still havent decided though, lower than $500 is on the table if necessary. Edited February 15, 2020 by Team 2019 Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,775 Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Windowscentral "Surprisingly, there is no mention of Microsoft and its Xbox Series X console in this reporting. Microsoft's console also uses many high-end components, and its price is not expected to be as low as the One X or One S, which remain as options for consumers. Indeed, one report says that Series X's SSD may actually be DRAM-less – a first in this market – which could help Microsoft skirt this supply issue, at least partially. The solution for Microsoft, which is unconfirmed, is the reliance on Phison's newer PS5019-E19T flash memory controller." Link to post Share on other sites
