With the shareholders' boards of various companies carrying out in recent days, one of the main topics that have touched during these events, has been the price increase of some products due to inflammation. In this way, it was recently Sony's turn to play this issue, and It seems that Deplaystation users do not have much to worry about the moment.
During the recent Sony Shareholders Board, Hiroki Totoki, Sony CFO, was questioned at the possibility of seeing an increase in the PlayStation 5. This was what he mentioned about it:
There is nothing specific that [I] can share... about prices.
Although Totoki's statement leaves the door open for a possible price increase in the future, analysts have indicated that it is currently very difficult for the PS5 to increase in price . At this point, Mark Methenitis, analyst and lawyer of the video game industry, commented on the following:
An increase in the price of the console has never occurred during the life cycle without a hardware change. It seems extremely unlikely that Sony wants to be the only atypical case.
Along with this, William D'Angelo, an analyst at Vgchartz, has indicated that Xbox is already gaining a greater land, with the X series increasing by 24.3 % of the market share compared to 15.6 % seen in 2021 . That places it just below 25.7 % of PS5.
Similarly, other analysts have pointed out that Sony is not in a position to increase the price of PS5, since $ 499 are quite high , and an increase could not only cause a negative reaction through the public, but which could also give an advantage to the Xbox Series X.
Goal was luxurious to increase the price of Quest 2, because they are the leaders of this market at the moment. Although the PS5 has the advantage at the moment, an increase could change the course of this generation currently . In related issues, Sony has patented a new control for PS5. Similarly, the PS5 receives a substantial update.
Editor's note:
It is true that Sony cannot afford to increase the price of PS5 right now. Considering that the sales of the Xbox Series X | s are better compared to what is seen with the One, the increase of PS5 could cause its competitor to have an advantage in this generation.
