what's a disc?

>>736232807
>$899
that's not very expensive for a low volume console targeting enthusiasts
>No disc drive
and?

Don't buy it

>>736232807
Most of my anime is on disc though. :(

>>736233110
>that's not very expensive for a low volume console targeting enthusiasts
Yes it fucking is. Your lying to yourself if you think otherwise. I dont think think the big 3 have ever released a console at this price, and with no disc drive no less.

>>736232807
Why the fuck would you want one? Its not the 90s.

>>736233110
>average western game budget is around 300 milly
>it's okay for sony to sell even less consoles

lol

lmao even

>>736233110
>that's not very expensive for a low volume console targeting enthusiasts
Yes it is, fuck off. Tell me another console that has ever cost 900.

>>736232807
It actually makes sense from an economic perspective when that is in around the price most people are buying prebuilts

>>736232807
Just wait for AI techbroniggers to hemmorage money in a years time and these consoles will be on discount soon enough.

>>736233465
>Yes it fucking is
maybe you should consider getting a job
>>736233529
the base ps5 is barely trailing behind ps4 at premium price, more expensive accessories, games and subscription, so uh yeah
the attachment rate for ps4 pro is also similar to ps5 pro, eager to hear your next cope
>>736233579
>Yes it is
is this /v/ - Broke Retards Central? GET A JOB

I got one with disc drive used for 550 a few months ago and people called me stupid
I'm still stupid but at least I didn't have to pay 980USD for it

>>736233662
>barely trailing

do you think PS5 sales are going to be faster or slower after this price increase

>>736233662
Lmao you replied to me twice, what a faggot. I never said I couldn't afford it anyway, I said it was objectively expensive for a console. How does the highest console price ever not make it "an expensive console"?

>>736232807
AND??? THERE'S A RAM SHORTAGE BECAUSE OF AI PEOPLE GENERATING UGLY IMAGES

PRICE HAS TO GO UP. LETS SEE XBOX'S PRICE?

FANCY BUILDING A PC LATELY? I WONDER HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST.

also getting disel is expensive too so good luck running your pc (electricity needs diesel, not the pc)

>>736233748
it's irrelevant, the ps5 generation is already the most profitable to date due to the factors I mentioned before and whether sales will actually decrease doesn't really matter as we approach the next gen
not to mention how they gave themselve plenty of margin for sales at a discount during shit like black friday if the RAM/whatever situation normalizes, anyone who actually wanted a ps5 bought one already
>>736233790
>I said it was objectively expensive
consider getting a job

>>736232807
and NO GAMES

>repeats the line
Weak bait. No more (you)s for you faggot. You could at least try interacting with my points if you were that desperate for attention.

>>736234086
>bring up sales in one
>realize the PS5 is never going to catch up to the PS4
>sales don't matter in the next post
>muh profits

man figuratively trying himself into mental knots over here

>>736234086
>PS5 is the most profitable
>sony closing studios
>sony cancelling concerts
>sony cancelling its electric car

yeah man i'm sure they're real profitable

Wowzers, being able to own your games forever must be the best feeling ever

>people bought the PS5 Pro at $750
>now people will buy the PS5 Pro at $900
You know what? I can't blame Sony for the price hikes. If their customers keep eating their slop at those prices, then hike those prices.

>>736234189
>bring up sales in one
you were the first to bring up unit sales, the whole topic is about a low volume console on which they want a profit off every unit as opposed to the high volume base console sold at a loss (which is traditional console market practice)
>realize the PS5 is never going to catch up
the console is more expensive, the games are more expensive, the accessories are more expensive, the subscription is more expensive
it didn't catch up (yet) but it's more profitable than the ps4 generation, next point
>sales don't matter
ultimately no, they make more money per player (around ~$200+) according to their own reports which makes up for the small difference in unit sales
>>736234186
if you don't want to get a job then don't get one, your call
>>736234341
>PS5 is the most profitable
it is, factually
>sony closing studios
that barely launched any successful games
>sony cancelling concerts
and?
>sony cancelling its electric car
you couldn't pull out anything else out of your ass so you had to come up with this
the playstation division is doing better than ever, period
consult a professional doctor for your sony derangement syndrome (if you can afford it)

>>736233110
Nigger a decent laptop costs around 1k and is even more convenient for normalfags to use.
You're a retard if you but that overpriced trash console

>>736234086
>the ps5 generation is already the most profitable to date
It's also the generation that's seen the most studio closures since the 80s.
90% of those profits are going towards the same 10-15 games, primarily Fortnite, Roblox, and gacha games.

I'd laugh but I can't tell where the punchline is.

>>736235303
>fire troglodytes and replace them with AI
>suddenly games don't cost $300 millies to make
here you go anon the line goes up again, the shareholders/investors are happy and the industry is saved
another option is to somehow convince the masses to stop playing fortnite, which one is a more realistic option?

>another option is to somehow convince the masses to stop playing fortnite, which one is a more realistic option?
The latter, apparently.
Which is why Epic laid off 1000 employees last month.

>been waiting 5 years for a special edition PS5 that doesn't look like shit to come out alongside a game i want to play
>at this rate even if one actually did come out (it won't, all PS5's look like shit) it'll be so expensive i still won't want to buy it
shits insane yo.

>>736232807
You're shitting me. I did not know that. That's so fucking dumb.

>>736236091
>waiting for an expensive special edition PS5
>want it just cause it'll look cool
>then bitches about it costing too much
You're one dumb motherfucker.

>>736236196
>want it just cause it'll look cool
you've got it backwards anon, i just want it to NOT look like shit, but the PS5 is a fundamentally hideous console so they've never done that.
and price was never really a concern before they decided to jack the system price up to fucking NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
I WANT to buy a PS5, there's just no realistic way to justify the purchase with how bad Sony has handled the system.

>>736236512
The one thing holding you back from throwing your money at Sony is the fucking look of the box. Do you not see how pathetically shallow you sound?

>>736232807
Bro so based bro have you ever heard of linux bro? Fuck sony frfr thats why I bought a PC because it comes with a disc drive.
