Sony are struggling to find a price for the PS5.
The high production costs, which are estimated to be around ~£345 per console, mean Sony may have fo fall back on an old method to make profit of their newest console.
What did they do before?
With the PS3, they ended up selling the console at a loss due to the new technology it had, but made up for this loss in the sale of games. The PS4 followed a similar suit, costing $381 to manufacture and was sold for a base price of $399. However, their profit margin was drastically increased by the large library of games.
What does this mean now?
Other reports suggest that Sony is waiting for the Xbox Series X to be released for them to decide a competitive but profit-making price for the PS5. However, the PS5 may follow the old route of selling the console at a loss, but making up for that loss in game sales.
