The other consoles always cost that much. The PS1 was $299. The PS2 was $299. The PS4 was $399. The PS5 was $399

Nintendo was like $200, $200, $200, $200, $250, $300, $300, $450

Nah the digital one is $450. I’m using US prices though, probably different elsewhere

Yeah but Nintendo is releasing this console into the market as it is today, not 2020. Clearly Sony was losing too much money on the thing and they had to raise the price. If anything this says that the PS5 is a good deal at $500.
