Sony Won’t Raise PS5 Price Despite Rising RAM Costs, Software and Services to Cover the Gap

Sony won’t raise PS5 price despite rising RAM costs, aiming to offset higher memory expenses through software and service sales growth.

Hope that doesn't mean a blanket GAAS push like Jim did, a few studios is fine but not all. But i mean consoles historically are mostly sold at a loss with game/merch meant to recoup lifetime costs, so not unfamiliar ground.

z2g100d ago

it means your games and subscriptions are going to get more expensive.

isarai_lee100d ago

Likely, but not inherently.

darthv72100d ago

...guess I will just stick to renting via PS+ and GP and only buy my games on switch and steam.

Eonjay100d ago

They already said game prices weren't going up. I really hope that subscriptions don't go up either. So they are saying that they want Reading her quote as closely as possible it refers to monetising the current base and "striving to further expand our software and network services revenue". Well this ccould be acheived buy selling more consoles and releasing more games... you know, cause its a game console lol. I really hope increasing the subcriptions pricing does not come to pass. Ram prices will come down eventually but subscription prices never do.

Makes me thank the heavens I bought my current ram, ps5, and steam deck before this price increases nonsense lol.

z2g100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

but you're still going to incur the cost of the ram price increases bc the games you buy going forward are going to be more expensive to pay for the ram increase

z2g100d ago

so the console won't get more expensive... the games will. I'd almost rather it be the other way around considering the games and services cost increase would end up costing cumulatively more than just paying a bit more for a console. but I guess thats why they most likely made that decision.

Dandizzle100d ago

It means when you buy digital goods from Sony its helping others not have to shell out big $$$$ for a ps5. No one wants consoles to become unaffordable.

hiawa23100d ago

Many are arguing that the consoles are already too expensive for many.

Learn something Microsoft!!!
