Now we're getting somewhere.
They are trying to take less of a hit on the disc version. They probably could get away with making it $479. Bloomberg had $470 for the retail price when they mentioned $450 for the BOM.
Many of us have been saying this. Let's see what happens Wed...
I saw a post in the XGS OT about the new Xbox controller price possibly being $69. They are both gonna make their money back on accessory prices. Let's hope its $79.99, lol.
El Corte Inglés (big retailer in Spain) confirming again the rumoured price points
Let's get it. Let's do this.
If anything, I'd see Kratos more as an antihero than anything else. And I think we'll see his past create conflict in the next game, once he has to explain to Atreus what he did back in Greece and the conflict with Thor and the rest of the Norse Gods starts.
I was never big on VR (as in: I have no interest in VR gaming), but after reading up on it I have to say, I'm interested in what Sony can come up with for PSVR2. As far as I can tell, the tech has been advancing pretty rapidly and prices for mid range VR have pretty much fallen off a cliff in the last few years.
The retailer cut is way above than that. In France, the physical games are, at least, 25% cheaper than digital (can be more with coupon). And selling at a loss is forbidden.
I'm expecting $399 and $499 now that XSX is priced at $499 Sony can sell PS5 at same price and not get much blow back. I did vote in the poll though for $399 and $449 for the pricing due to how I interpret the BOM and what I would do if I was in charge of Sony.
Retailer cuts are %20 and usually retailers will make games cheaper and get a smaller cut so you buy from them etc.
I was talking about the retailer cut from the PSN Store (retailer), the store takes 30%, that is 10% more then the "license" cut of 20% for PlayStation.
That is just based of numbers i heard.
I'm sure game retailers take a bigger cut, you see 10% off offers all the time.
Yes, that is why i don't understand all this 30% is to high talk, they just take a retail cut of 10%.
Why would Sony match Microsoft though when they can beat it twice?
iboshow Do you have a source for 20% cut on physical for Sony? Google search says it is 11.5% but from a 2006 article. 20% seems way too high to me, no way Sony/MS take that much per physical copy...

Edit: Another recent source says $7 per $60 game for the platform, so it is not 20%.

Videogames are more expensive than ever. Yet publishers aren't getting rich--yet.

Getting worried by how many places are reporting XVI will be at the Wednesday event, feels like it's not going to be there
These things are all about perception and how you view it.
1) Don't want PS5 appear to be any less than XSX. Same reason I feel they wouldn't price the DE at $299 because some might get the impression XSS and DE are both weaker than their more expensive counter parts.
2) They could feel $499 maximizes sales, profit and inventory management
All of these points can viewed the other way also just offering possible perspectives.
I hope everything about the event stays secret. Probably will have to log off Era some hours before the event since that's usually when people give strong hints if they hear anything.
Yeah it's giving me SH/June vibes just from how certain people are
Yea I found it earlier, really had to use light to see it, it's barely visible!

Ubisioft: Retail game margins are 55% (vs 70% digital), Sony/MS/Nintendo take $12 in COGS per game
25% is the retailer's margin ($15 at $60, $5 at $20). 20% is the licensing fee + cost of goods from Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo for making a retail game ($12, and from previous conversations with industry figures, this is static regardless what you're charging). By comparison, it's a flat 30% with...

Because they're going to push the DE edition Hard. They dont need to beat the series X on price because they will still outsell at the same price and they still have the budget conscious at 399.
It's an internal placeholder, will be surely edited when pre-orders are available.
Yeah I saw that as well. I think they still have a marketing deal, but Sony didn't want be involved with competitive scene anymore is my guess.
I think this is bad idea, cuz last gen most pro players were streaming using ps4, & that gave them free advertisement
yeah, but today they announced the league will be using PC + Controller moving forward
That would be strange. Playstation have the marketing /content for this years COD. I would think both would be connected.
Because Sony doesn't want to beat MS just for the sake of it. Beating means losing money.
The correct question is, what price can Sony ask to sell well for the foreseeable future. And I can definitely see that by matching XSX price point.
Anyway, I'm really excited to see the prices, because 3 options seem similarly possible to me. 499/399, 499/449 and 449/399 all have their unique pros and cons.
Maybe sony doesn't have PS5s for them?
Well, i'm saying they don't want to provide them for the asked price.
At least for Cold War the partnership is still up, open beta first on PS4 and all these shit.
That i dont know, but they do indeed still hold the marketing rights for the online competition.
I'm doing great
Stay strong guys!
My inner:
The pro players hated PlayStation so this isn't much of a surprise, especially combined with how many are now streamers and the league being online for next year.
As we approach Wednesday's singularity

But at least we get to revisit all our favorite Playstation moments...
I really hope they ditched the PS4 version of factions. Would be great to have PS5 only online multiplayer title with all the benefits that would bring (no loading times before matches etc.)
