Sony Announces End to Significant Losses on PlayStation Hardware, Foreseeing Price Hikes for PS6

Esports

Sony appears to be laying the groundwork for its future pricing strategies for PlayStation hardware. The company has disclosed that it no longer plans to absorb substantial manufacturing cost increases through significant profit reductions.

This new approach suggests that Sony will be less willing to subsidize the cost of its consoles, which could lead to a notable increase in the price of future hardware. Consumers are therefore bracing themselves for the possibility that the upcoming PlayStation 6 (PS6) console might retail for over $1,000.
