That's why they have a digital only version though. Assuming it's not 450. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,919 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Too much for too little either way. Won't be buying a PS5 until another 2-3 years post launch and probably after a redesign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jez Corden thinks there's going to be a Series S, but when he said Sony has 3rd party deals and you bitched about it. So what is it, do you believe him or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,732 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Dynamite MS hasn't revealed a disc less console, so they are revealing a new console regardless. S or X is another question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sony won't launch their digital version for $350 so it puts them in an uncomfortable position where their only ability to match Microsoft is with their digital console.

Playstation Tablet 1,732 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 BOM doesn't mean shit there a whole array of other costs that are added IMO. If BOM is 450 and they price it at 450, they still lose money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's ballpark. Until an official teardown is done we won't be able to get close enough to know. Though we'll never know the supplier deals Sony has it's the best guess custom or not. Wafers and other materials still have costs despite a piece of silicon being custom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
