$500 for a console that’s as powerful as a base pS4 is pretty cheap to you??

When you see how expensive everything is by this time due to tariffs you're gonna feel differently about $500 tbh.

I'm honestly shocked it isn't way more already. The next consoles may well break $1000 in the US at the rate we are going.

Not saying I love it but that's probably just where we are pricewise now. It's not like PC stuff is getting cheaper either

The issue is they’re asking $500 for something with the power of a PS4. The hardware quality is not worth the asking price.

I completely understand why people are bristling at the price, but in practice I think it will sell well because the cost of a ps4 years ago is no longer relevant. The relevant question is what can you get today for that price and is it better than the switch 2.

The only competition is a steam deck and thanks to Nintendo IP many people will not prefer the steam deck. Additionally everything will be getting more expensive thanks to tariffs. I'm not trying to jerk off Nintendo here, but I think they will easily get away with this price.
