That would be quite the thumb in the eye to Microsoft.
Getting price parity I already thought was a risky plan, but to go discount is a real daring step.
So they are going from €549.99 to €449.99 where as the Xbox went from €549.99 to €599.99..
That's gotta be a PR play. Both the same price one goes up 50, another down 100.
Xbox also has announced sales last week, while initially mentioned 20% discount on controllers amazon also cut 100 Euro from Series X and other cuts for the other consoles. The controller deals are in each country can't confirm it is also for consoles also or other stores.
Would it?
Microsoft clearly isn't even participating in the console race anymore lol
They aren't going to subsidize console sales anymore if they don't care about the sale to begin with
Might be the best time to jump onto PS5 for quite some time.
What times .. when we all have to be happy and rush to the stores about "deals" of 399$ and 449$ in the 5th year of a console ..
Great. I look forward to Days of Play sales every year. Great opportunity to upgrade PS+ Subscription.
Rumor better be true lol
If I remember correctly PS4 got a discount when Switch launched. L'histoire se repete it seems. Good for people that wanted one.
Crap, just bought a Pro thinking that they might raise the price.
Looks like they're taking my advice lol.
lol i saw that date, May 28, and I was thinking that was a few months away…no. That’s in two days. Anyways, i hope this is true! Finally’d be some good news.
little surprising they are doing this, physical series x is the number one selling sku on gamestop right now and the physical series x sold out on amazon, both at like $600. just trying to clear pre-tariff inventory before the price increase?
In the article about Xbox raising prices, everyone was so convinced Sony was going to raise the prices next. Would never had made any sense for them to do that
Why does everyone just resort to insults? Everyone was saying Sony would follow and they didn't. What's wrong with pointing that out.
The problem is you pointing it out. People don't like to be wrong. And if it's (foolishly) tied to a person's self-worth, they REALLY don't like to be wrong. But what they all don't like even more, is having someone call them out for it. If you do that, expect to be down-voted to ends of the earth, and possibly even banned. It's not fair, but it is what it is.
Yeah, I've been banned 3 times now but this gaming website is unique as in it's the only one that does such detailed tracking. So, just have to deal with the craziness.
Personally I'm still expecting Sony to raise the prices. Looks like it just won't be the next thing to happen. That said, discounts shortly before raising the prices would be... odd.
I kept saying over and over back in the Xbox price rise article that Sony already raised the digital by 50$. They've also cut costs a lot by reducing the copper heatsink and other things inside the console. The PS console is all Sony has so they have to be much more aggressive with it, unlike MS that is now the biggest publisher and has Gamepass too.
