I know, but PlayStation 4 had a BOM of $381 and was profitable at $399 in Spring 2014. So for a BOM of $381, the final price (including retail cut, shipments, etc.) was probably around $415/420.
So the difference between BOM and total cost is around 10 percent. $450 + 10%= $495, so PlayStation 5 would be profitable on a unit basis at $499 (or really close to be).
At this point I'm guess that Playstation is holding back so they can have one giant show to show off everything.
Hum, they said that the user whould need to sub 1 year ps+ and 1 game to break even. If we assume that they get around 10-15% on the retail unit(at the time retail was like 70/80% of the sales) that whould put the ps4 overal cost around 450$.
I also remeber that it wasnt spring, but 6-12 months in.

Oh yeah, november-may is 7 months.
Hum, i gues the bom really went down very fast. Maybe the CPU and RAM prices drop like a fly.
Damn thats a lot better than i keep hearing. Not that i hear numbers but it seems like people always brings up that it flopped. 8 mil is not bad, sure, maybe not as good as earlier installments but i would not call 8 million in sales bad at all.
Them spending more on cooling is actually good news and not worrisome news.
Yep. Looks like it (cooling) costs at least ~3 times as much as usual. Good news.
Precisaly what we can read there is that Sony is spending more than double in cooling system than they did before.
I expect this to be pretty common. With a couple of exceptions, I'm definitely not buying any current gen games day 1 this year.
Not bad, but not great considering the brand and the PS4 install base. No excuses next gen. PS5 needs a proper Gran Turismo.
I wouldn't mind paying $500+ USD as long as the console is worth it.
Same. I'm hoping for a real return to its roots for GT on PS5.
Install base has nothing to do with this you might as well say the same thing for every single other game or ever other GT game.
With the $450 BOM I really hope that's also the maximum at which Sony will sell it for. Sure, they'd lose money on every unit sold for a while but with PS+ being required for online Multiplayer (excluding f2p) and the increasing amount of people buying their games digitally (from which Sony takes an estimated 30% cut) it's never been this easy in the history of video games for a platform holder to make up for selling a console at a loss.
Only a demo or a trial version could create a large difference between users and sales. Such is not the case for Gran Turismo, so even discounting a few hundreds of thousands from the second-hand market (which is astronomical and most probably removed from reality), we're talking of a hardcore racing game moving around 8 million units after only 2 years. I think it's a really impressive result.
What do you all think about Sony going to launch *not long after ps5* Psvr2? i carnt see it myself but who knows nowadays.
Not surprising that they'll put it on PS5 since it is releasing so late in the generation. I wonder if there will be PS5 exclusive levels for the community to make to take advantage of the hardware.No Dreams PC plans at the moment but PS5.
Dreams on PS5 is ‘obvious next step’ says Media Molecule
The ‘obvious next step’ for PS4 exclusive Dreams is a version on the PS5, according to LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule.
Creation mode will probably have a much bigger thermo on PS5 and hopefully it will be possible to play these levels also on PS4.
More creation freedom with PS5 but everything playable on both consoles would be nice.
Expect some free Plus or Now, or both instead. That way they can reel em in immediately (depending how long the free last) and instantly gain on a user if any of those prices go up.
Honestly I don´t think unique users is a good metric.
I bought GTS used for US10, played for a month and sold it to somebody else.
The previous owner, me and the buyer are unique users.
Everytime a see a dev using unique user as a metric I feel like things are not great as they are trying to claim,
Even units sold can be deceiving if most sales happened at <$10.
A combination of units sold, active users, revenue etc is preferable (obviously) to get a better picture.
When we said we we're going to get PS5 news on Dreams' launch day....
WE *claps*WERE*claps*JOKING
Which one of the Sony leakers thought it was a funny idea to do Mm like that? XD

Until March 2021 yes, as an 'exclusive' but after that I'd get it on PC as soon as possible.
True, but isn't that the case for every consumer product? Phones, consoles, games, etc?
As of September 2017 they had sold 5,220,000 copies, even if let's say 40% of their copies since then have used they still would be at 7M sold.
They will probably update the website with the sold numbers at some point.

PS5 Launch Bundle: $499, including 3 months of PlayStation Now
Now the big news. The games that will be avaiable on PSNow on PS5 launch month: The Last of Us Part II, Dreams and Ghost of Tsushima. BO-fucking-OOM.
That way they would drastically increase interest on the service and imediatelly change its public perception, having their 3 biggest games of the year at launch for "free" on the service.
