The PS6 already costs 1k for Sony to make. They will not subsidize it. Are you ready for a $1500 console?
>reportedly
>>742125374why won't they subsidise it like every other time
meh sony always sells the hardware for loss
Nah thanks, I'm good.
What happened to the market analysts at Sony and Microsoft?They HAVE to know that they're barreling into a huge sales disaster. Anyone with eyes can see it.This past generation has been spinning its wheels so hard we're STILL getting releases for last gen hardware.The economy is so trash, specifically for consumer electronics, that nobody's going to be able to afford the new consoles for the foreseeable future, even if they want it.Who are they making this for?
>>742128350They're making it because Unreal Engine is getting worse and worse and developers are using it completely out of the box and it's causing problems for the consoles.What they really need to do is create their own general purpose engine that's optimised to fuck for their consoles and to push developers to use that instead of UEslop.
>>742128513Well they're in for a rude awakening because that problem is not going to be fixed by relying on the audience to just brute force it with better hardwareWe can't afford the hardwareSo they're gonna have to get better are their fucking jobs
>>742126710They used to be able to sell consoles at a loss because the games made up for it. But nobody's buying $70 games and only a handful of games can get away with $80. Everyone is going to keep playing forever games on current hardware. There's no reason to upgrade.
>>742125374We know the price is going to be higher than a pro. The question is, how can they create a generational leap with $200? It’s going to be a ps5 pro +
>>742127406>steam controller has been out for less than 2 months>already covered in dustthat good huh?
>>742125374>Are you ready for a $1500 console?Yeah. Ready to not buy it. The PS5 was the second worst piece of video game hardware I purchased, only behind the Nintendo64. The thing has been out for years, and still only has one fucking game worth playing that I can't play on my computer instead. It's a fucking disaster.
>>742125374>They will not subsidize itThey will, $900 PS6 incoming
>>742125374sony already postponed ps6 3 more years, 2031 earliest.
>>742125374and these """"""NEWS"""""" come right after the gabecube being 1k what a """"""""""COINCIDENCE""""""""""""
>>742127406Let me guess! You have a shitty Pentium 3 and a shitty Voodoo 3!>>742130004Say what you want about the Xbox brand, but you have to admit that the Xbox wired controllers are objectively amazing! My Xbox One wired controller still works perfectly and I've had it since the year 2018!
>>742125374I haven't been ready for a console since the PS2
>>742125374No i gave up on consoles after the ps4 im not buying anymore
>>742130276>>>/a/ is that way faggit.
>>742125374Wew those ai costs are exploding if genning this mock up cost them 960....
they should cancel PS6 and skip ahead to PS100
>>742130004It's fine. Navigating my desktop with the trackpads from the couch is pretty neat.
>>742130414I'm staying right HERE, you pesky little butt hurt chump!
>>742127406look at all that valve hardware covered in dust, really glad they spent all that time making garbage instead of actual games we want.
People are already bending the knee to pay for the ultimate eidition of GTA6 so they dont miss out on the additional shops and features, they will buy PS6 for over a thousand bucks, becuase its a new Playsation, the price doesnt matter to these subhumans as long as they get the new thing as fast as possible.
>>742127406based mustardrace chad
>>742127406>lgbt lights>PC on floor>window open>slop mas market most upvooted components and peripheralsgayest faggot of the day
>>742130143it's a COHENcidence
>>742130732So Playstation is the Iphone of gaming basically
>>742125374xbox & ps always make a 20-40% loss per console, so it's not going to be more expensive than the manufacturing cost
>>742130732You're being a moron here dude. You're comparing the "biggest game of the decade" to some fucking console nobody knows shit about and with no promised mega humongous exclusives. The PS6 isnt gonna sell like hotcakes just because GTA 6 is gonna sell like crazy with the masses.
>>742127406This guy fucks
>>742125374>owning a consolelel
I'm prepared for any price Sony sets because I'm not buying it.
>>742125374Yeah, I'm done with consoles and just spent $3000 on a PC.I have literally hundreds of free games from places like EGS and Steam. PC sales are much better than console sales, I don't have to pay a subscription to play online and I can pirate games for free all day long if I want.
I'm buying it. Why not?
>>742125374>Are you ready for a $1500 console?2000-2500 because of Scalpers
>>742126710yeah if you teleport back to 2006. it's amazing how people still think they sell for a loss when they started selling hardware for a profit since the ps4.
>>742125374Rolf! I'm actually rolf at this statement. It doesn't more more than $88 per unit and it's just jewery to condition you into paying more because it's so hard for the company! Rolf. It's like another day of blaming our President because he gave you a free opportunity to rise all prices of your products with him being the only target to blame and the cattle all fall for it! Rolf.
at what point is it just greed? I refuse to believe these prices are going up this much because of muh datacenters. I just refuse.
Please be $1k minimum. That would be so funny.
>>742135815ThisI hope it starts at $2k and GTA6 gets a last-minute price increase to $200
I've quit buying consoles the second they decided to start paywalling internet access. Genuinely the biggest scam in gaming history and it boggles my mind how people accept it and even defend it.
>>742140271>Rolf! I'm actually rolf
>>742125374PS6 will be $1500PS6 mobile will be $800 (PS Portal but fatter)
>>742125374what's with all the babble about ps6, there's still no reason to get a ps5
>>742126710not THAT much of a loss lolps6/nextbox will be 1500+standard controllers will be 99+gamepass/psn/monthly stuff will go upthen you're going to have price hikes every 3 months like we are getting now. it wont even take a year after release before they're 2 grand and standard controllers will be 150.
>>742127406>Deck and controller covered in dustlol
>>742125374If you think the holding on to 8th gen was already obsessive then you are not prepared to how many people will sit on their 9th gen brick forever.We are looking at well over a decade here.
>due to some memory and ssd price increase a large portion of /v/ are too poor to play video games this is awesome news.
>>742125374>reportedly
>>742125374It will be a failure
230 thousand percent that is mostly from the inflated ram and storage prices
people will just have to accept that gaming is becoming less affordable and less accessible. if you can't afford 1k then maybe you should get a job. if you don't like it take it up with the establishment (you won't)
>>742150103or use something like Klarna responsibly AKA make ONE purchase on it at a time and pay that off dont go on a fucking shopping spree or better yet dvide the price by 4 and put 4 payments into a savings account klarna without klarna
>>742150103Or they could release a cheaper console and sell gangbusters.
>>742150103Why does it have to become less affordable? We used to game on 256mb of RAM twenty years ago. Maybe games just need to get more optimized. Graphicsfags need not apply.
>>742150103this, games were way more expensive adjusted for inflation, its time to accept that the easy street is over
>>742127406All your picture says, is that you are a lazy retard>removed the panels and the top filter from the case>candy wrapper on the floor behind the pc>all the dust and and the dirty floor>steam controllerClean your fucking room, faggot
>>742150103>>742151559You guys are getting raped by the next gumpey
They would be extremely retarded if they try to release a new gen considering the current state of material costs and no meaningful new tech
>>742152625Even if you find kyubey, shake the thing and wish to end AI, it gets better but the end result is the same.The game of "wait 18 months, pay half for the same chip" is over.Now it's "if you want more transistors, you pay more".This is why there's no dirty cheap PS4 slim slim with a top loading drive.
>>742125374>releases ps6 1500 us dollars>no one buys it>sony empires crashes alongside with AAA studios>sony executives are executed on public streets, with streams covering for the whole world too see.>doritos pope runs away with his boyfriend, no sign left of bloated cinematic shit on the horizon >AA and indie games flourish, fresh ideas, and more risks are taken with new video games>production cost scales back and profits rise with this new era of gaming>everybody is happy with the new industry, smaller budget games, but with higher quality and innovative that take 1 to 2 years to develop
>>742152892>>releases ps6 1500 us dollars>>no one buys ityou underestimate how retarded people are to justify the price of a console that will/ would have 0 (zero) games and will still buy it.
>>742153027It's not about "someone", it's percentages.The percentages will be much lower.
>>742125374Good, high-end gaming should be exclusive to rich, white men like me
>>742125374>$960>not a single game
>>742153027the only people buying them will be scalpers
>>742153228So, are you willing to pay $800 on a game?Because if there's less people with consoles, the games need to be more expensive to make up for it.
>>742153095considering pre-orders for GTAVI have apparently already hit a record high, despite the price, the same would happen with a console no matter the price.>>742153470and sony would still see that as a win. sony would still be getting money out of it.
>>742125374Adjusted for inflation (real inflation) its still the same price as launch PS3.
>>742153616It's just 20$ over the usual, and only nintendo games and GTA can get away with it.Getting to a price where people actually can't afford it means no one can afford it. Money don't grow in trees and all that.
>>742153027Sony already struggling to sell their AAA slop to the mass market.Brand loyalty can only get you so far. With how expensive basic goods are, living costs, rent, there is much for luxuries. Sure as hell won't be enough for a 1500 console. People.will either focus on oc gaming, on old systems or save for a ps6, that will probably take a year or more to save enough money to buy one, and I don't think having to wait a long while for the consumer to buy your electronic system is good for business, considering how important it is for fast and secured profits.But we will see if this increase costs of everything is a bubble that will burst and the industry will be sent back to cheaper production costs and cheaper products.
>>742153727Don't get me wrong, I do agree with the general idea of it and honestly fucking hope sony is first to go. I just can't see it happening simply because people are just too stupid and don't think about how it affects the industry as a whole. It's happened for a very long time and the pattern is always the same.
>muh $80 gameCheaper than Vice City adjusted for inflation.
poorfags swerve. about time you turdworlder shits get the fuck off my console platform. PS6 is for developed people only.
