Interesting play sports fans, Sony going with the "piss off everyone, don't make any product worth buying and sell it for a fortune" strat *Cries in vita and launch PS3*

nine hundred ninety nine US dollars…

To be fair I’m pretty sure Xbox’s next console will probably be over 1000 too

I will kill myself if that ends up being PS6 exclusive

The problem is they wasted an entire console gen on making GaaS titles that got canned. Like a lot of people, I got pretty burned spending a few hundred dollars on a system with almost no exclusives. Even if the PS6 doesn't cost $1000+ I wouldn't bother buying into it.

they already moving away from the Astro Boy machine?

There is no universe where I'm dropping 4 digits on a console that probably won't even come with a disc drive

$1099 US Dollars $1099 US Dollars $1099 US Dollars

I used to think that new consoles came out when the last generation was stretched to its absolute limit. PS5 has like 5 games on it. It feels like that thing came out 2 years ago. Also, the next consoles will probably have no disk drive so what's even the point of getting one

Not to mention the cost of living crisis means that The Lipstick Effect will be driving away sales

Why are they making a PS6 when there's still no games for the PS5

Ps5 will last decades😅

I kept wondering what kind of exclusive games could ever begin to tempt people to spend +$1000 on a console, and at this point I think GTA 6 might've been the only one that could've worked for a lot of folks. Beyond that...ain't no way.

Why can't I find that gif of Snake with a gun in his mouth while $599 flashes, surely someone must still have it

Why the freak do they think they can make a new console already, ignoring hardware prices

calling yet another board room meeting to once again all everyone whether we're sure it's too late for an abortion

A CHADWARDEN PRODUCTION Sup babies,

Its like if the ps2 was still regularly getting games when the ps4 came out

Console generations are typically 6 years.

PS3-2 Electric Boogaloo

To me it's like printers. You buy the hardware for less and then spend a fortune over time on the ink. But it is true, tons of people would buy it just to have the shiny new thing just to have it

I feel like most people don't notice games still come out for the PS4

I'd say this is totally their fault for being among the many tech corpos who thought AI was gonna make them all richer and that only us poors would shoulder the consequences for it

When adjusted for inflation, the 3DO retailed for around $1500. There's a reason nobody knows what a 3DO is.

Sony gonna turn this into a real-world MMO quest where you have to break into a data centre, steal three GPUs, then give them those GPUs and $500 and they'll give you a PS6.

Can’t wait for the PS6 PRO.

between a $1000+ price tag AND no physical day 1, they have a hell of a mountain to climb.

Shot down or shot dead. Either one.

Asha Sharma using Helix to prop up the dying Xbox brand drum up hype realizing that she may have just ended here own career mo rhs later.

They killed him.

Yeah nah they should've stuck with the PS5 core hardware and done everything they could to make it cheaper with each new revision until people actually start buying it and devs actually start making games for it. It's crazy to imagine the PS5 has been current gen nearly as long as the PS3

I feel like these days they just fire whoever speaks against the higher ups lmao

no no, they're actually extremely accurate, it's just for the wrong conclusions every single time, they NEVER get anything right by accident

In the same way, Hasbro has announced that basically every super articulated action figure and Transformer is now base price $30. That one I blame more on Trump specifically, but I do think it’s a line that many won’t cross.

in what sense? IIRC Sony has been doing great numbers this gen when it comes to how much revenue they are making so I assume that for them "it worked out". At the end of the day all Sony wants is for people to spend money on whatever system(PS4/5/6) and just take their cut of the pie.

You don't even have to wait, they've already done this with their current gen hardware specifically citing AI as a concern like

heard this like the battlestar galactica 2003 tv intro

if the PS6 sells like the Steam Machine presumably has they'll be doing Heaven’s Gate shit over at Sony

Genuinely hyped to see how bad they fumble the marketing lmao

just imagining sony making a huge loss as like 5 people buy a ps6 after they prepared like hundreds of millions of units beforehand anticipating everyone to be lining up at stores and toppling grandmas over just to get one

Get ready for everyone to complain about the price and the console still breaking record sales

i keep forgetting ps6 is coming and whenever i remember i wanna kms

Wonder if they'll push some kind of leasing program

They call it the Piss Six because it costs six figures

it like, ps3 launch all over again

The whole thing is gonna get decompiled on a day and there are gonna be 45 different emulation projects, trust me. It'd only one tiny ass vulnerability in the launch firmware and then they're done

And remember, this is without a disc drive.

There’s a PS6? Where’d the PS5 go?

Meanwhile how it feels playing only jailbroken 7th Gen consoles

Yikes. And I thought the current gen was a lackluster one. Good luck with that, Sony Especially now after you've burned all of your most loyal customers.

Ps3 actually *was* $1000 in Australia. We only got one because my grandfather died! (Don't worry, he was my Dad's abuser; it was a great Christmas all around for the fam)

The PS6 will basically be a $1.5k stream stick at best with the lack of physical media or ability to modify the software/hardware like PC on the market.

Wasn't it like actually the cheapest blu-ray player you could get when it came out?

www.calculat.online

not to mention it was also a near-fully functional PC thanks to OtherOS

There is a big difference tho: back then, you could wait and get it at a lower price after some time. A year down the line you'd be able to get one for much cheaper. Now it's the opposite.

Back then, owning a big TV was considered a luxury.

The inflation argument isn't great. Do you think if the PS2 came out now they'd actually charge 700 for it? Doubt it.

and we know it won't have a blu-ray drive which was the only reason anyone found the price palatable back then

There’s a whole Bureau of Labor Statistics that believes this number, they made the calculator - take it up with them Intuitively, it makes perfect sense to me. 600 at the time did feel extremely similar to the way 1000 does now.

I couldn’t remember whether it came out in 07 or that’s just when I got mine lol

No physical card slots, no games, 1000+ price Lol okay

So they can put AI tech in it Im not even like being jokey here or anything it is probably the only New Tech Thing they can justify new hardware to their boards with

if this happens history will remember the 3do as a budget machine

When do we get the first big PS6 exclusive game from one of their first party studios? My guess would be… 2033?

€1000 + No Physical Games + No Digital Ownership + Most of the library already on PC + Still need to pay to play online = Where TF do I sign up?!!

NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS

They've not even really justified the PS5. It's conceptually just "PS4 but marginally stronger" so I can't imagine what they're planning to do with the PS6. Literally the world's most obligated console release, for some reason. Released the PS5 Pro too early as well, no cushion.

Realistically, people are still going to buy it But, it would be hilarious if they get like ridiculously low sales and they have to scramble to find a solution

sniffling. please be nice to my Sixth Robot Son, the liquid feces I am pumping him full of to make him sentient* is very expensive and needs your thousand-dollar support,

playstation about to shoot itself into the foot harder than sega ever did with it's awkward western saturn launch

the whole 10 youtubers who got it from sony are gonna feel like charlie with the golden ticket

there are consoles that famously have no games. this may be the first ever launch to have no console

Sega Dreamcast 2 comes out a year later at half the price and destroys it.

Don Mattrick's lifespan gets another 30 years longer

Haha, can't wait! I usually get so distracted by gaming that I forget everything else, so I rely on Taskai on my Android to keep my ADHD brain on track with actual responsibilities.

Why are they making this?!

Bro imagine all the games they could not release on THAT new bad boy

"you will firebomb a data center" is the new "you will get a second job" just to be clear i'm not endorsing anything, for sure, not in support of it

Sony is desperately wanting as few buyers for their console as possible, lmao
