Playstation 5: It will be more expensive than expected as it has a higher build cost.

A new report of Bloomberg Network comes to give us a good picture of the pricing policy that will follow the Sony for the PlayStation 5 launch.

ΑAt this time, Sony is struggling to keep its price PlayStation 5 at competitive levels, and this struggle is due to the fact that there is a great shortage of components used in its construction. According to the information, the cost of PS5 building materials is currently close to $ 450, while the corresponding cost of PS4 in 2013 was $ 381 and started selling at $ 399.

Even at these cost levels, the $ 449 pricing rumors could come true, as this will not be the first time a "console" game console has been launched. However, by the time mass production begins in early autumn, the build price may have fallen and a small profitability may have emerged.

If we take it for granted that its overall construction PlayStation 5 it really costs $ 450, then we can be 99% sure that it will not exceed $ 499 at its launch.
