That SONY will protect the hardware with a very high cost On its next PS5 it is questionable, but as you well know that Hardware costs tend to decline over time as new generations of products come out, modern and fast. This fact may have prompted SONY to make a decision limit the number of units that will launch from the PS5 initially, and they waited a few months to launch a second set of expensive models that were already cheap.
6 million PS5s worldwide
Some information service providers in the US already say consumers should know that there will be queues and longer waiting times when the PS5 goes on sale in the fall of this year.
The retail prices of the PlayStation 4 (16 million copies worldwide worldwide in the first 12 months since its launch) can write to SONY on how to make it on the PS5, depending on price and volume. As stated in network mentideros (and as a result this information should be "caught by tweezers") SONY would release just six million PS5s in the fall of 2020, and I was waiting March 2021 launching a second batch with 6 million.
That is undoubtedly a risky marketing strategy, because the need for comfort when presented can exceed those of 6 million. However, it would allow SONY to minimize the loss they would have from selling, ensure that their inventories are depleted, and allow them to open a second wave of cheap PS5s, at least at a cost.
The price of the PS5 may be higher than expected
At that time, SONY introduced the first PS4 at a price of $ 399, and it came to stores at that price (399 in Spain), but later it fell in price and even now, 7 years later, it is about to see deals. for a portion of that amount.
Both users and many media expect the PS5 to have a high price tag of about $ 450 plus, which would eventually reach the retail value of about 499 euros maybe. However, Bloomberg analysts believe the PS5 production price in this case will be between $ 500 and $ 550, and this could mean that the console will reach stores in the retail sector. the price is easily 599 euros.
"The PS5 will be upgraded at the launch, and this could delay its initial recognition. The game's new console developers expect the price to be between $ 499 and $ 549 plus tax, with Matthew Kanterman of Bloomberg Intelligence pointing to a cost increase of materials for SONY to increase its price to reach the balance point between costs and benefits ».
Will SONY lose the PS5?
If this information is fulfilled, it is possible that about six billion SONYs have sufficient stock to meet global needs. Although SONY loses money on the sale of each console, it will be much easier and faster sports merchandise, with specialty specials, and this strategy can be of great benefit to them since introducing the second group of consoles the retail price will remain the same but the cost of production, which will be reduced.
According to initial sales forecasts, analysts see the PS5 after the PS4 as its price will increase significantly, but they clearly expect that in the first six months after launch, it will be upgraded to six million units. Keep in mind that the PS4 has sold 16 million units in the first 12 months since its launch, but the record is highest 7.5 million units were sold in the first three months to comfort life.
