madmaltese★ 2,814 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 $499 for PS5 is a given imo. Supply limited is best case scenario. More concerned with all the games at this point tbh for both next gen machines. This is a really bad time for work on them to be slowed down of stopped. The last 6 months prior to release are usually the busiest and most crunching development wise. Really curious if even any of the big 3rd party cross gen games like AC Ragnarok, EA sports titles, yearly COD, etc are gonna get effected. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I assume even if you get a system that next-gen game releases are going to be pretty limited. Microsoft even said that if the virus situation interrupts software delivery for launch that they'll still try to get their console out regardless. Link to post Share on other sites

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 PS4's stacked for great games this year, the Japanese won't start making games for this thing for the next 2 years at least, and the Scalpers are going to snap these units up so fast and charge double. No point in bothering with one this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah since stock seems to be limited then there really isn’t much point to delay the launch. Better to get it out and slowly into ppl’s hands, especially if the price is gonna be a bit on the higher end. Really really there’s something besides the big 3rd party cross gen games. At this stage I’ll happily see Last of Us 2 delayed to be a cross gen game and hopefully Halo Infinite isn’t delayed for Series X launch Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,162 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Sony is going to be forced like Microsoft to support cross-generational development for early gen, although Microsoft did it willingly. From what's circling around they're expecting logistic, supply chain and manufacturing issues for at least the first year, so garnering financial uplift from software sales is going to present a gigantic issue that they can quell by also targeting the PlayStation 4. From the sound of things there might be fewer than a couple million of this system available for the first year at market. I mean I don't want to turn this into some System Wars shit but if Microsoft has their logistics and supply chains in order able to deliver their product readily they could really fuck things up for the PS5.

I said it from the beginning. $499 is just a bit too much for the casual consumer, they learned from the $599 ps3 release to never make that mistake again. Link to post Share on other sites

The literal article linked where you are getting this info from quite specifically states they will have ‘only’ 7m worldwide by Q1 2021. Down from the 9m+ for PS4 but not even close to couple million for the year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
